Soup Tureen!

TGIF, sweet friends!  It’s almost the weekend and I can’t wait!  Today I want to share with you a pretty and crazy inexpensive thing I found at the consignment store recently.  It’s a beautiful soup tureen!  Come see!

I really do try not to buy things I don’t need, but sometimes something comes along that I simply can’t pass up!  Case in point, this beautiful soup tureen!  And I know, soup season is pretty much over with our 70 and 80 degree weather, but this set was only $28!!  (For local folks it was found at Strawberry Fields)

So, at first I didn’t buy it even though it was amazing.  I left the store.  But I kept thinking about it and called the store later that day.  I asked if it was A-still there and B-if it was really $28.  It was YES on both, so clearly it was meant to be mine!  And I bought it!  Beautiful, right?

The set comes complete with a platter, bowl, lid and ladle, all in pristine condition.  And get a load of that pretty pear handle!  (All for $28.  I still can’t believe it!)

To further convince myself this was a great deal, I did a little google search for large, white soup tureens.  This one is from Pottery Barn.  Brand new it’s $89 plus tax and shipping if you buy it online.

I found this one on eBay for $125 plus $34.43 shipping and handling.  It includes the tray, tureen, ladle and lid like mine but for a combined total of $159.43.  (over one hundred dollars more than mine.  You’re welcome, husband.)

So the moral of this story is two-fold.  First, when you see a great deal, snatch it up asap.  (Or risk not-buyers remorse.)  Second, thrifting is a great way to add style and beauty to your home on a budget!  Win-win!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope y’all have a great weekend!  xoxo Dell
