This cake dome and pedestal plate cost me only $1 for the two pieces.
There is quite a story behind it: I had really been wanting a cake dome (I already had a set of three pedestal plates, so I wasn’t looking for that), and I found a nice heavy one for $5 at a garage sale early last year. I picked it up, and suddenly I realized that there was an emergency up the driveway by my car. Not wanting to run off with someone’s merchandise, I quickly put it down and ran toward my car. But the seller stopped me and said it was ok; my car was fine. I turned back around and the dome was GONE. What happened to it? There was only one other customer there at the time and she was on the far side of the garage. I looked all over, then I saw that other customer had it in her hands. She had moved very quickly to grab it and then move back to her original position. Very sneaky. I lost out.
A month or so later I was at another garage sale with very poor directional signs. I saw an identical dome with a cake pedestal~ what did she want for it? She said $1 for the two pieces. I was amazed! I didn’t mention that I didn’t need the pedestal.
This year, at our annual garage sale, I sold the pedestal alone for $2. That makes the dome FREE! And I have the satisfaction of knowing that sometimes good things come to the kinder people.
Another favorite that I don’t have a photo of is my chest freezer, which cost me $30.
All interesting pieces. I almost bought you green glass the other day, but it wasn't a bargain.
