I Hit Another Jackpot!

I have never in my life 'yard saled' this late in the year. Boy, have I been missing alot! This past Saturday was great, mind you the first 3 yardsales were flops! I picked up these two black boxes (brand new) for my new kitchen (whenever that happens).
This pretty little table square matches a set of place mats I already have. And my good dishes have purple violets on them, so this will go nice with them.
Little bottle from Belgium for my bedroom.
This was a great find. Happened across this yardsale down a back road that I was taking to come home. You never know what you'll find down those back roads! The chair came with the cushion too, but the dog is mine!Love this cute little kitty pic.
I actually passed this arrangement up the first time I saw it, then a vision came to me and I could see it sitting on my living room table.
Perfect!This pic looks like a mirror reflection, but it's actually a pair of bird salt & pepper shakers. They're just wee little ones.
I hummed and hawed over this too.
But I ended up with it. It's a double sized bed cover all done in french knots. It looks like it's never been used either.


K, so I went to the village when I was in town this week. I swear, they know when I'm coming... Aren't these cool? Napkin ring frames for a pic or a name or whatever else you can think up!

A very lady-like hanky that says MOTHER.


I love the look of a fruit bowl in the kitchen, but I HATE fruit flies. This is perfect. I got 3 each of red apples, green apples, oranges and pears at the Village that are sooo realistic looking. Those little yellow plums are real though.

I like these little arrangements that look like they have water in them. This will be nice when I decorate for fall, which will be soon I guess.
Playing around with Photoshop...

I couldn't pass by these two measuring cups. You can never have too many of them.
A little iridescent egg for Easter.

I actually saw this tray a few weeks ago when I was at the Village and I passed it by but kept thinking 'I should have got that, darn it'. This week, it was still there, so I took that as a sign! I painted the tray part blue which I think looks much better than the reddish colour it was.

That it for us this week. Can't believe it's September already. Back to school for some people, but pretty much the same old thing around here with Spike and I.
