First Finds for 2015

What's It Wednesday #149

I rang in the New Year in my most favorite way…. treasure hunting of course! I just love this beautiful angel that I got from a favorite antique store! A true sign that this will be a fabulous year.

I found a sweet little sister for Hannah, the chippy paint is just perfect.

Next I found this great scale for the kitchen and the ironstone pitcher, too! They are so hard to find here.

This lovely silver plate water pitcher makes a super flower vase. Love the detail on the handle and feet.

This basket of beaded fruit was just too pretty to pass up, the whole set was only ten dollars!

Last I found this cool fire stand. Now I don’t have a fireplace, but I loved the shape. It was a dusty mess, but I cleaned it up and painted it a glossy black. First I was going to put it in the kitchen on the stove to hold spoons or other cooking utensils, but I changed my mind and came with this…

It’s great for hanging bracelets, or holding other jewelry. Looked like this year is off to a great start. What have you found so far?

Hugs,

Patti
