Show and Tell/More Germany Thrifting

 


Today is Show and Tell over at Kelli's. Please go over and take a look at what everyone is showing today and add something if you like.

My Show and Tell today is a beautiful bowl that I bought at a German flea market in Berlin this past summer. Thrifting in another country is so much fun. And it's a way to buy interesting items for souvenoirs. I love bowls and china and this bowl caught my eye with it's beautiful pattern and colors. It cost three euros at an open air market that was so full of junk that we had to go digging in multiple boxes. What fun. And yes, I did carry this in my back pack home on the plane. Not a chip on it.

Beautiful plate. I like the color. And how fascinating you found it thrifting in Europe. I'd like to do that someday.

It is beautiful! What a neat souvenir. I would have been nervous about the possibility f it breaking all the way home -- I am glad it traveled well!

Well, since purple is my favorite colour I'd have to say this bowl is an absolute delight...plus, how you acquired it makes it even that much more special. So pretty!
