Last Weekend's Treasures

So, from what I've heard, people actually look forward to the junk, I mean treasures I find on my hunting trips!?! Really?!? People really come here looking to see what I've found? Isn't that 'veird'?

Picked up this table at the Village on Monday, not knowing if I had somewhere to put it. But I moved some stuff around and lo and behold, there's an empty spot to be filled! I'll change out the handle when I find something cool.

This pretty tablecloth is from the Village too. Really heavy cotton that irons up nicely. Perfect for the kitchen table.

I cross-stitch, so I know how much work went into this.

K, when I picked this up at the yard sale I actually thought it sat the other way around, with the fingers facing up. But it said 'JAPAN' on the end of the finger? Huh? Oh, it's a vase! Imagine that. Huh. Goes nicely with the other hands on my dresser. Is it weird to collect hands?
More vintage kitchen tools. I'm finding a lot of these this year.
This little shelf was a steal for 2 bucks. The tassel doll was from a shop Mom & I went to after a Red Hat get-together last week. And the pic of that little cutie? Uh, yeah, that's moi.
I read a list of no-no's for decorating last week and it said 'NO' to silk flowers! Really? What about silk with glitter and some beads stuck to them? I just bought these! Come On! I don't care, I'm keepin' em. I usually don't have alot of luck with real plants (hence the silk ones in the house, duh...), but I have a baby's tears that does great.
It sits on my new cake plate in the sunroom for now.
Isn't this pretty, it doesn't work (neither do I) but it's still pretty. Did you get the hidden message there?
