It was a beautiful week end to go to a few yard / estate sales and do a little shopping. |
 |
I visited with the lady that was having the yard sale that I bought this silver cake plate at.......her mother had passed and she was selling some of her things. |
 |
I was surprised to see her parents 25th wedding anniversary cake plate for sale, but I was happy to bring it home with me. |
 |
I bought this pink and cream striped set of king size sheets there too, so she bundled them and I got the silver and sheets for $15 I plan to make a tablelcloth for my farm table on the front porch and cover the pads on two chaise lounges with all this fabric! |
 |
I can't pass up a pretty chandy at a good price...... |
 |
Everything at the sale was half price, so my chandy was $7.50. It will get a make over with some white paint, and then who knows where I will hang it |
 |
This Fitz & Floyd ceramic asparagus bowl and saucer was at the same sale as I found the chandy, so I got it for $1.50 |
 |
It has already found a home in my Easter display cabinet in the dining room with some other asparagus dishes. |
 |
After going to some yard sales, I stopped by one of my favorite stores in Friona Texas.........Milk House Market. |
 |
I bought a couple of white enamel farm animals and 2 sweet tags. |
 |
I really enjoyed my day of shopping and treasure hunting ........oh, and I almost forgot to mention that I stopped by the garden center and picked up some gorgeous hanging baskets. Can't wait to show you how they look in the yard! I always enjoy your visits so much, please come back soon! |
Cute stuff, Penny. I love a good chandelier. That asparagus bowl is a keeper for sure. Perfect for spring.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to treasure hunt?! I am going to be starting soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, Penny, Take me shopping with you. I would love to find a brass chandelier like that. What fun to decorate. There are magnets to hold anything you want to add to your chandelier. I do love the silver cake plate too. Everything was great finds.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you what I found at an auction. I found this stack of about 30 doilies and a linen and crochet trimmed small table cloth with a note that said it had been this person's great grandmothers. I got this bundle for $7. Someone was bidding against me and then went for some table clothes I was bidding on. I know I got the better deal. I love find treasures to enjoy and share with friends and family.
Thanks for sharing all your wonderful treasures.
Love the chandy Penny, what a steal!

ReplyDeletePenny,
ReplyDeleteThe chandy and the silver cake plate are wonderful!! I can not wait to see what you do with the chandy!!
Hugs,

Great treasures. Your new chandy is very similar to the one that hangs over my kitchen table--it's only been there for 30 years! My mom and her friend used to go to a mill that sold sheet ends by the pound; she made duvet covers, sheets, pillowcases and matching curtains! I love upcycling sheets!
