| Saturday was a beautiful fall day...crisp, but sunny, so we headed out for some yard sales and an estate auction. . |
 |
| The estate auction was for the parents of an old school mate of mine. They had some beautiful old chenille spreads that I was lucky enough to get to buy. They were both in excellent condition, no stains, and smelled fresh! |
 |
| Isn't this lavender beautiful! |
 |
| Mr H collects old smoking stands, so I bid on this one. It is all metal and very ornate (sometimes they are plastic) |
 |
| I think it would be gorgeous painted white....we'll see what H says! |
 |
| It still has the original ash tray. |
 |
| I found these Christmas balls at a yard sale for .05 each, so I bought all they had! |
 |
| I got the smoking stand for $20 and the spreads were $10 each. |
 |
| I bought the old milk crate for $4 at a yard sale. I hope you enjoyed seeing my treasures...Come back soon! |
Penny,
ReplyDeleteGreat buys!! I have a similar standing ash tray and I have it by my front door for our keys!
Be careful if you are going to put those chennille bedspreads in the dryer after washing. I did that with one I bought at a thrift store and there was so much lint and fuzz that it blocked our outside dryer vent and we had to snake a thing through it to clean it out. Joe was not thrilled with me that day needless to say!! LOL!!
I am up to my ears in Christmas florals , wreaths and ribbon getting ready for next Saturday's craft fair!!LOL! And preparing for Sandy to hit us- 6-10 inches of rain possible here...
Hugs,
Deb

ReplyDeleteI love the chenille bedspreads. I've always wanted one. Those Christmas bulbs were a great buy too! take care, Darlene
ReplyDeleteYou did really great at the sale. I especially love the smoking stand and would like to find one after seeing an example transformed into a bird feeder.
ReplyDeleteGood Afternoon Penny, I love your pink chenille bed spread, I remember by Nan, Ivy, had these on her bed when I was a child. They were so soft to the touch. I found you via Sew Many Ways and have enjoyed reading your blog so I have become a follower. Sending you best wishes from England....Daphne
