I also forgot to gloat about all the good treasures I found at the thrift stores the other day. I had so much fun for under $50.00 and found lots of great stuff. I have all ready used and painted most of the boxes. Found lots of plastic dolls. Brass candelabra for $2.00. A couple of porcelain dolls. More scrabble letters. These wonderful paper streamers for 99 cents a bag (I am sure those will find their way to my dining room ceiling soon). A bag of cologne and face powder, asian packaging - bought it for the graphics and little box. Oh, and a bag full of wooden apples that have a hole in top center, I was thinking I could use them for place cards for the table by sticking the dowel in hole and attaching paper with name. I have more of the green apples. But a bag for a couple of dollars, I could not resist! Oh, and a few small ornate frames.
certainly quite a haul - but I love the box its really got a charm about it
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds! I love, love the bird in the nest, the box and the porcelain doll, ooh and that frame!
ReplyDeleteSCORE! Oh my gosh, I am so jealous of all of your thrift store treasures!! I am always digging through our local goodwill. Rarely do you find as many goodies as you did though!
ReplyDeleteAlso, your bird (crow?) in the nest is amazing. I have a "thing" about crows. They are very emotional to me.
Wonderful!
a.
I am so happy to see a close up of the nest. It's wonderful. It takes a really good eye to find good stuff at a thrift store. Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the aisles and aisles of junk and forget to look at small pieces individually. Great finds!
ReplyDelete"Nesting" is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI admit it....I'm green with envy. This just makes your vacation time nearly perfect.
ReplyDeleteWonderful Treasures! I love the bird in the nest!
ReplyDeleteMum still has the white powder! It's precious!
