This week's haul...

Friday, 29 April 2011

More crappola weather this week.... (are you tired of hearing about it? Probably, because I'M TIRED of writing about it!). Today started out as the most promising day of the week, with lots of sunshine and the temp slowly creeping up to the 60s range... but by 3:30, it was cloudy and cold again!

Despite the weather, there were still a few yard/garage sales going on... and I was able to find a few goodies... some of which I'll keep and others will go up for sale in my Etsy shoppe.

...this cup and saucer were such a great surprise! I always love the brush strokes on the Japanese china (as this is)... but usually stay away from purchasing any because of all the gold... not sure why, but I don't particularly care for gold embellishements on china. However, this one didn't overshadow the beautiful florals.

... sweet, dainty cup with lillies of the valley... no saucer, but who cares for 50 cents! This one is made in Bavaria.

...another view of the Japanese C/S... the roses in the background were another find for 25 cents (5 bunches).... I love garage sales!

... cute little white frame....

...the jackpot of the week... this gorgeous shabby tray was only $5 and is in immaculate condition! Stamped "germany" in the back....

These next few images are of wallpaper samples that were FREE. A dear friend and co-worker gave them to me this week; knowing my love for florals and femme things! Her comment was "maybe you can find use for these." You think?

I'm linking up to some fabulous parties at Romantic Home, How Sweet the Sound and I Love Pretty Little Things. Don't forget to stop by for some eye candy!
