I didn't strike gold Saturday, but I sure struck silver! We got up early to go yard salin', and the first sale we went to was just around the corner from our house and it was just opening. |
I went to school with the parents of the girl that was having the sale, wonder if her mom knew she was selling all this silver. |
It was my pleasure to take quite a few pieces off her hands....lol! The lid on this butter dish was different from the ones I have see before.....it is on hinges and just folds back. |
She had her silver marked from $1 to $5 |
Aren't these salt and pepper shakers gorgeous! We are using silver to serve the reception buffet at our daughters wedding in Oct, so I have been picking up silver at yard sales. |
I found these silver measuring cups at Pier 1. |
I added this anniversary plate to my ever growing collection. I probably need to get rid of some of them! |
This is a small round tablecloth and 24 napkins. I've never seen that many in one place $2 for all. |
I thought we could use these paper napkins as a back up at the wedding reception. |
Wow I say you sure did struck silver....simply gorgeous! I'm loving the butter dish and salt and pepper shakers....

OMG dear friend, you did great! You sure striked silver as I love all your silver pieces, specially the butter dish and S&Ps and your lovely white free top cover, I would have done the same as it looks good in any plate...AND FREE too! The piggies do look adorable together.

I sold a silver coffee set and a pewter coffee set when I was moving and it made me feel good that the women treasured them.
ReplyDeleteI did the same thing Penny, except I went to an Estate sales..and came home with a truckload..I even bought tree's in pots...huge things..and stuff I don't need. If I had a booth like you do ...but I don't. I have way too much stuff. Not ready to "scale down" and doubt I ever will be...but I do need to take it easy on the buying. It's such fun though. A treasure hunt. Helped my son with is garage sale..what a hassle. I would rather donate than have a garage sale.
ReplyDeleteLOVELY things you found. Do you ever buy things and then forget what the heck you bought?? I do! I now carry a book and pen in my purse to write things down...and then forget to do it! Congrats on such great finds!!! :)
You always find wonderful things!!!
