What's on the Kitchen Island this week?

What's on the kitchen island this week?  I usually take my treasures photo's on the island because the lighting is so good!  I found this vintage leather suitcase ($3) at an estate sale last week end.  Somehow I didn't get a post done last week on my treasures, so I just added them in to this post. The lamp shades were also purchased last week end  at the auction ($20 for both)



Some pretty place mats  ($2)

A few small Christmas ornaments ($2) and a vintage tablecloth ($2)

This looks like a vintage coffee pot to me, but it came with tea glasses, so I am not sure! ($3) 


This is some bird net ($1) for a fruit tree, but I had another idea for it!

I saw it as a soft billowing wedding veil!

If this net keeps the birds off the fruit trees, maybe it will keep that spider off my dress form!

So I draped it on my dress form in the bedroom!  Here is the link to my spooky bedroom post if you would like to see more of the wedding dress!    http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2012/10/spooky-little-thing-called-love.html

This is where the lamp shades are now.

I got this stand with all the jewelry on it for $1. I plan to paint the stand white later.

Trash or treasure?....I think they are treasures!
