Like so many of my fellow bloggers I have been trying to cut back on my thrift purchases, I continue to stop at my favorite thrift stores, but most of the time I walk out empty handed. The prices are ridiculous, and I truly don't need any more stuff.
However, I have built in an exception rule that allows me to purchase something that I think is fabulous and I will use. If the thrift item meets those two requirements is priced within my budget, more times than not, it comes home with me.
When I saw these bowls sitting on the cart, I was immediately attracted to them. I liked the simple lines, the tilt of the bowl, and the glass feet.
The Bodum bowls, from the Garoo series will look stunning when I am serving buffet style or at Christmas time filled with my vintage ornaments, and even flowers floating would be delightful.

The large bowl was $3.99, medium bowl $2.99 and the small bowl $1.99. For nine dollars plus tax, I have a very attractive trio of serving bowls.
I have plenty of serving bowls from Polish Pottery to Pyrex, but I thought I could use a little modern elegance. Would you have purchased these bowls? All three or just one certain size? I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Linking up with The Thrifty Groove for Thrifty Things Friday #110, and The Cottage Market for Junkin JoeVintage and Thrifty Finds.
They are very elegant bowls and I think they would be quite expensive to buy normally.
ReplyDeleteYou can not go wrong with Bodum! Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteI would have snatched them up in an instant!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a trio for decorating, at that price I would of bought all 3. They are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese bowls are so pretty and very modern! I would have bought all three! So many uses, serving food of course, but also filled with ornaments, shells, flowers! Gorgeous! Great find and a good buy I would say! Thanks for joining Diann and I at TTF!
