Yesterday, the local Women’s Club held it’s giant sale at Reiss Park in Somers. I spent an hour in the morning picking up fun items, and another one in the afternoon, and came home with so many treasures, Don just rolled his eyes.
It took me a couple of hours today to unpack them all, and to photograph and reorganizing them.
I’m going to donate some of these items to our thrift store, most of them I’ll use for my gift baskets, but there are a few items I’m going to keep for sure.
Now to the most fun part — guess how little I paid for all of these? Including six more vases for my girlfriend, who is a florist, and several other basket that I didn’t even get in the picture. I paid, drum roll — $30 bucks!!
These are the items I’m going to keep. Some of the plates were so stained that I thought there is no way to salvage them, but then I tried out the Magic Eraser on them and that lifted all the stains. Magic!
These are the glass items and vases I’m going to keep. Can one ever have enough vintage mason jars? Milk glass is really in right now, and what about that pretty glass vase?
I knew exactly where that was going to go — in our bedroom, adding to my glass collection there.
That’s my dear Papa’s teddy bear, who died last year. It is about 90 years old and one of my most prized possessions. His grandfather handmade the little leather shoes for it.
I grabbed the milk glass vase and other little white vase to find a place for it in the living room, but then I thought, why not add it to the bedroom decor?
I think I like this even better than just the glass. What do you think?
I’m linking up this post with Southern Hospitality’s Thrifty Treasures. I can’t wait to see what other treasures were found this week!
