I have been wanting to go back to the Hen's Nest Consignment Store about 30 miles away. So finally today, I decided to drive there. I walked through it a couple of times but didn't buy anything. They had a couple of things I would love to have, but y'all know how cheap I am, so I talked myself right out of them. :( As I was sitting at a traffic light to turn left to start back home, I was looking at the shops across the way, when what to my wandering eyes should appear, but a HUGE Consignment Shop that I had not heard about! Now what's up with that! Anyway, I just drove straight over there and had myself a look-see. Oh my..... lots of clothing, but also lots of home decor items. Be still my heart!! I just took my time and browsed through. Now, some of the items were priced like new, but some had decent prices. So a couple of smalls did come home with me. Seven dollars and forty-seven cents worth to be exact. Wanna see what I bought??
This hat box (still had the original store tag on it). I thought it would look good in my sun room on the Wilendur tablecloth that I got such a great deal on.

I like the way it looks with the green cloth.
Price $3.99
The only other item I purchased is this hook, which I also hung in the sun room.
I love the colors, and the robin is so pretty.

I placed it with this wall grouping. I have a garden/bird theme going on in here. So these two items worked out well.
I also visited an antique shop which was chock full of goodies, but extremely high prices. I could have stayed in there for a while, but they had not turned the air on, not even ceiling fans so it was HOT and STUFFY! I understand wanting to save on the electricity, but OMG! I'm just not going to do a lot of shopping when my hair is getting wet from the heat. Just sayin'!!
You never know what you'll find at these great parties!!
we don`t seem to have that kind of consignment store here ( well maybe we do have one, just haven `t checked it out)But I did see some in Arizona last year...those prices are not at all bad.
ReplyDeleteBoth of your thrifty items are so pretty and what great prices!! I just love it when I find a new consignment store or flea market. I totally agree with you, who wants to shop when they are so uncomfortable? I'm sure those stores lose lots of sales by doing that as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful evening!

Your consignment store finds are gorgeous! I especially love the Robin picture.
ReplyDeleteLove your new treasures. The hat box is very pretty and what a bargain!! I have a little consignment shop in my town and I try to stop in once a week. It's kind of hit or miss but sometimes I find something I just can't live without!!!!! Happy Shopping!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour trip was certainly not in vain! Beautiful buys! Love shops where the deals are good.
ReplyDeleteLove your pretties you found! Your vignette looks so nice!

Great finds! I probably would have stopped traffic if I discovered a new shop. Too bad about the weather in the antique shop. I've been in so many that are so dark, no heat, no air, just to save a few dollars. They'd make more if they kept their customers comfortable. Thanks so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour table looks beautiful! you must be happy with your finds...good for you!!
ReplyDeleteThat hat box is so pretty! You know I love my purple! LOL
ReplyDeleteGood Morning! I love the hat box with that beautiful tablecloth. Are the flower on the hat box lilacs or hydrangeas? Your sunroom looks so inviting! Thanks so much for joining the party at Frugal Treasures. : )
ReplyDeleteThe box has the word hydrangeas on it, but they really do look like lilacs.
DeleteLove lilacs! Everything looks so amazing together. Great finds!
