H and I drove over to Amarillo Texas Saturday to have lunch and go to a FEW yard sales....lol! There were 60 sales listed in the news paper and lots with just signs out at busy intersections. |
 |
I have been on a quest to find houses to give a makeover, but I found these that are good to go just like they are. Bakery and Sweet Shop |
 |
Grocery.... |
 |
Side of them... |

Back view....... |
 |
and the other side. |
 |
The pitcher is minus it's lid...... |
 |
but, I can use it as a vase. |
 |
I love the detail on the Fitz and Floyd pieces that I have picked up over the years. |
 |
I also found a white ceramic Christmas tree. It came with a box of red birds, but I am hoping to come up with something pink or clear to fill in the holes |
 |
The rose bushes are still blooming and I couldn't resist bring a few stems in to enjoy. |
 |
The 3 houses, pitcher. and sugar holder were $5. I found the matching sugar and creamer on the right side last weekend for $1. The white tree was $4. Have a blessed week! Please visit my side bar to see "Where I Party" and stop by and visit a few of these great blogs! |
WOW! Great finds! Especially the tree!
ReplyDeleteThose houses and shops look almost ready to join in your happy village without much change. I love all sorts of little street scenes like those, imagining the small commerce and chatting that must go on amongst the shoppers.
ReplyDeleteThe wonderful lady at BitsyNest where I order a lot of my pink miniatures offers the small snap-in "lights" in pink for any kind of ceramic item. She seems to ship the split-second she receives the order, and she always includes a little "happy" bit of lagniappe in the package, all gift wrapped in pretty paper and tape.

You are so lucky to find the white tree. I have been dying to find one for years but no luck. You can get the clear bulbs that fit in the holes on Amazon. Love your find.
ReplyDeleteYou find the best deals in your area and also when you go to Amarillo. The only thing I got last time I went through Amarillo was a dent in the car from a tornado and the rainstorm that followed! haha Cutest little houses. Whatever your plans for them I know it will be fabulous! Judy

I came over from Sew Crafty Angel. I have not been able to keep up due to physical pain knocking me flat on my back for a couple of years but I am slowly making a comeback and Tomorrow is a huge day for me as I am building my new website with an online store that will sell only Handmade Crafts. I am so excited to finally be living my Dreams!

You have some great finds. I love the white tree, I found one at a yard sale not long ago, but it had not decorations for the holes in the tree. Good luck in the hunt for something pink for yours!
