What's It Wednesday #98
I
am still giddy and doing a happy dance over this weekends finds! Most
ventures yield a trinket here or there, but I found a gem at every
turn Saturday. First, this fabulous old Victorian flower basket. I've
seen them on the blogs but thought I'd have to go to eBay to find one
for myself. Digging really paid off when I found this under a bench
at a local antique shop.
Then in the same shop I spied this amazing old candle sconce. LOVE the detailed flowers and leaves.
Oh,
did I mention they're a pair!? Forty dollars for the set. Yay!
I
made a quick stop at Goodwill, which yielded this pair of
Staffordshire dogs. Now I know they aren't the real deal, but they
look great, and at $4.00 each, I call that amazing! I was on a roll.
So
I popped into my favorite thrift shop and found this cute old
silhouette made from resin of sort,
and
this one from the fifties.
Oh,
yes. A pair, left and right facing, for only $5.00. Oh boy!
Now,
you won't believe the luck, but a yard sale produced this gorgeous I.
Rice perfume bottle with atomizer still in tact.
Last,
but certainly my favorite, this truly ornate old wall shelf. The
detail is incredible, as was my day. Most times it's a famine, and I
don't find anything, but sometimes it's a veritable feast! Keep
digging.
Hugs,
Patti

Hi Patti, Thank you for stopping by our blog, Sisters' Treasures. I've been a fan of your blog for quite a while. You got some fantastic treasures on your hunt. I totally understand about the feast or famine hunts for antiques and treasures. I especially love the little shelf. Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteGosh Patty, I want to shop in your stores. Wonderful deals you got. I especially love those cute shadow pictures. I've thought about starting a collection of those for so long now; the only problem is that I tend to collect so much vintage stuff! One really has to know one's limits, (At least the storage space of one's house...lol) Lovely catching up with you again; I'll have to favourite your site and come visit more often. :)
ReplyDeleteHi, Patti, Thanks for another great party. You always find the most unusually beautiful pieces. God bless. Linda

ReplyDeleteOh wow...it was a feast day! Such wonderful finds...I'm in love with that wire basket!
ReplyDeleteWow! You really did find some great things. This is a great time of year to go to garage sales. You have a good eye for things to find too.
ReplyDeletePatti,
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I wanted to ask you, what font did you use on your post today? I LOVE big font - the bigger it is, the more I like it. The old wall shelf is gorgeous. Would like to have that in my home too. The perfume bottle is so delicate and lovely, and the Staffordshire dogs are so cute. What a good price you got for them. My favorite was the candle sconce, it's beautiful. I love candles around the house. They make the home so cozy.
I hope you are enjoying the Autumn days, and please do let me know what font you used. This post was just lovely today.
~Sheri
