It was a very wet weekend in Sonoma County. After a couple months of sunny and sometimes warm days the rain was very welcomed. It also meant that there were only a few sales to attend. I did go to one on Friday where I found a set of Cathrineholm Lotus Bowls.
They are in beautiful condition, so yellow and very cheerful. They can do really well on eBay and Etsy. This set on eBay sold for $172. Some of the rarer colors are the blue & white, pink & white and orange & white. I think this set might do well because it includes 3 pieces.
These were from a few weeks ago but I found them in my Office Reorganization of 2012 and just can't resist how beautiful they are.
Last week I decided to simply clear my desk off and ended up rearranging my entire office. Does that happen to any of you? I do like the change though and each step forward with organization helps me feel more efficient in my job.
This is my first full week back to work since the children got out for winter break in December. Cerys finally goes back to school and I can finally start working on eBay again. I posted a recipe on Flavorstitch for an Immune Boosting Smoothie that I gave to Cerys every day.
Here's to a productive and healthy week for all of us.

The Cathrineholm bowls are a great find. Yellow is my favorite color so I guess I'm partial to them. And glad the kids are well and back to school. It is, indeed, tough balancing work and family. But what a blessing to have the opportunity! Thanks for hosting and have a wonderful week.

Those bowls are gorgeous- I'm sure they'll sell immediately. As for rearranging my office/selling space, that's a constant work in progress. I've never gotten it where I want it.
Now I must investigate that immunity boosting smoothy. Everyone's getting sick 'round these parts.

My daughter has a set of Cathrineholm bowls in orange and white that came into her marriage via her husband. She tosses them around like they are made of plastic, I am going to show her your post, and maybe she will be a tad more careful. Thanks for hosting Thrift Share Monday.❤

I am going to have to check out your immune boost smoothie. We've been passing around a nasty virus for 6 weeks now.

Thanks for hosting, always a treat to come over and see what others have found. Isn't it great when you dig in to the office and clean things up.

The cheery color and design of the Catherineholm bowls is just lovely. I totally admire people who have an eye for thrifting. It's something I want to get into.
