Some New Treasures

Since I needed to go purchase some concrete pots for flowers for my MIL's grave, and her brother's, I hit a yard sale and an estate sale too.




At the estate sale, I found this gorgeous 2piece chip/dip set.  Lovely design, and they look so good together.





At the estate sale, I also found this wonderful metal vase already painted turquoise.

The chip/dip set and the metal vase were a total of $2.00!!



Wish I had gotten there earlier, as there was very little left.

At the yard sale which was on my street, I got lots of items for $4.25!

This wonderful lighted piece for Fall, these two cowgirl signs for my granddaughter's room, this wonderful urn, and I also bought a picture frame, but left without bringing it home.  I figure the seller will probably come by and drop it off, and if she doesn't, I still made a good haul for the money.  My granddaughter loves horses, so I thought I would get these for her.  She's about to "take over Bubs' room" according to her.  He's moved out on his own, and she wants the bigger room, and has said she wants purple in her room, so these should work.












Look at this wonderful old book, copyright, 1936, Northwest Passage by Kenneth Roberts.





leather bound, and 78 years old.  Free!  It looks like its going to be a good one too.

Hope you've found some new to you treasures!!

Sharing at these fun parties!!

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale. ...

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They ...
