Just one more reason that I am happy to have been born in the age of the smart phone.

I can barely remember what we all did before cell phones were invented, and then the added fabulousness that is texting and camera phones, can you?

They have proven to be an invaluable tool for all sorts of improtant things....like helping your thrifting girl-friends score a major find.

I spent last Saturday thrifting with my gal-pals again. So much fun. My favorite find was a pair of vintage napkins, in the prettiest shade of yellow, with a touch of green. (I haven't broken them in at home yet, but when I do, you'll be the first to see my tablescape.)
See? Aren't they sa-weet?

Okay. I was leading up to smart-phones in the twenty-first century.

So, Sunday comes, and I am home enjoying the excellent weather, and I get a text from one of my gal-pals from the day before. She's at a yard sale in her neihborhood and spotted some vintage glassware that she claimed was screaming my name.

Well, she was right. When I looked at the photo text she sent, I could almost hear those little glasses calling "Tracey! Tracey! Traaaaa-cey!"

Six of these little sweeties for...one dollar. A buck.

(You know I said grab 'em.)
I put a butter knife in my photo so you could have a reference point for the size on these little gems. They are more petite, yet substantial, than any other dessert parfait glasses I have ever found, holding only about three tablespoons of dessert. Even a small wafle cone sticks way out of the top of them.

This brings me back to my point - Without this coolest of cool technology they wouldn't be sitting on my dining table today, waiting for their dessert debut at my home.

I can just see the ice cream dripping down the sides of these beauties. Enjoy!

Oh, I do love to see what others find on their
weekend yard sale adventures. During the "season" I am out there where I live too!
I think a regular little post(and photo) of your best weekend finds would be fun.

Hi! I love your blog and just wanted to let you know these cute little ice cream glasses are actually meant to hold a sugar ice cream cone. They look really cute in this holder with a couple of scoops of ice cream! Enjoy...Stephanie in Wa. state

Ohmygosh! Thanks Stephanie! Funny, when Ralph brought them home to me (my gal-pal works with him) I said that was what they looked like to me, but I figured I was wrong, because I have never heard of such a thing!!! Thanks again! I love them, and Ill definitely try serving them up this way!
