Saturday Mornings

This morning I was in the mood for a little thrifting/trashing/hunting. The morning started out a little slow but I quickly picked up momentum and my first purchase was this manly dress form. I have his mate that I'm "antiquing" I'll have to name them...any ideas? This darling tea cart was a steal, the owner had it recently powder coated in this cream color - it folds flat and it's just great, very sturdy. The straw hat is so adorable and it's in the original hat box - on the side it even says "summer navy straw". I'll research the box and label in the hat to learn more. I have two of the tiered pieces and I'll be getting them on etsy very soon!

The blue shelf just looks so chippy and cute. Not my color but I know someone else will love it. It was kind of a blue morning; cute blue sewing box, blue shelf...it's gloomy outside today and I'm hoping the sky will turn blue soon!

The porcelein shoes are cute and I'm going to replace the ties with ribbon. The little glass salts have hens on two and ducks on two. The frame/stand will be great with a mirror in place of a photo!

So here is my workspace in the garage - I think I need to spend some time in here cleaning up a bit! Have a wonderful weekend!

Saturday finds

I've been absent from blogging for a week or so. Just a combination of many things going on and fighting another cold. I wanted to share some of my recent Saturday morning finds! Four vaseline glass plates, a wonderful glass cloche, a Southern Living Style book, an old mixing bowl, a charming vintage embroidered tablecloth, a great big frame that I plan to paint white and back with chicken wire, a cranberry glass plate, a set of gardenlight branches and a coat hook with old door knobs!

I also picked up this great 3 section room divider. The fabric panels pop out and can be changed to match the decor. Right now it's in the garage hiding all of my treasures. This great little red wicker shelving piece stands about 4 feet tall. I love the white rack - it was used in a shop to display clothes but I plan to hang aprons and linens from it at the next flea market.

I'm sorry for being absent for so long but please check back soon as I'm getting ready for my 100th post give-away and it will be awesome! Happy Hump-Day!

Estate Sale Finds

There were not many sales on Saturday morning but I did poke around at one estate sale. Not much that I found interesting but I did pick up these three pieces.

The pin with the green stone is a Trifari and the rhinestone bracelet is not market but all stones are intact and it's just very sweet. The floral piece was very unusual and I'm still researching it; it does not have a pin on the back so i think it must be a pendant that you string on a cord. My dear friend, Leanne from Dazzling Melange in TX who is the jewelry expert has been sent photos so we'll see what she thinks about it! Stay tuned for her response!

It's pouring rain here today in So. Cal - we need the rain but I'm looking forward to the sunshine again!
