SA finds

15 years ago

Went shopping at the SA and found alot of cool things. I guess I have spring on my mind cuz most of it I plan to turn into flowers.

Pictures are on my blospot. I just started my blog about a month ago so not too much going on yet. Since the cold weather is holding me hostage in my own home, I plan to get a headstart on some garden trash. Keep checking my blog for new pics of projects.

I love the look of the old dresser. My parents had one just like it when I was a kid. I think my sister and I beat the heck out of it when it was used for our clothes. I enjoyed looking through your blog as well. I have been enjoying everyone's blogs so much that I started my own this weekend. It has been way too long since I put my thoughts into writing so it is going to take me a while to relax with it but I had fun this weekend with it. If you would like to check it out and maybe give me any thoughts on how to improve it I would much appreciate it. There really isn't much on it yet...

Wow! You did make a haul! Great stuff! I love the blue plates....my favorite! The vegetable steamer looks like it could be the center of the flower if you use the metal mold behind it or it could be cut apart and used as wings....lots of possibilities!

That is sure a pretty pattern on your new china. Fantastic buy, not often that you can find a complete set. I know you are really going to enjoy it. Ncnana, I feel the same way--tastes have changed over the years, probably would pick something different now. Only problem with a complete set is that we almost never use the cups and saucers, yet they take up so much space to store. Luvs

YES, I'm listening, party! WOWSERS!!!! Pictures are worth a 1000 words!!! I'm glad you posted these! Ok, my faves ...well, so many pcs of it, actually ...but that gold 'pear' ... I just did a still life on buffet/& shelf this Fall & used pears ...so that struck me as a 'gold!' Next, that jewelry box w/all the little boxes & a drawer!! I would use that for Christmas decor ... the little boxes I would fill w/miniature treasures ... don't know how big they are but maybe 1" square ... things like an acorn ...or a little glass trinket ... a real pretty brass button ... a ring ... you get the idea! & then I would keep that drawer pulled part-way out & add some 'batting' or something for snow & a few small snowmen or Santa or Angels ...ok, I'm rattling! That basket is very cool ...I'm sure you'll mastermind something from that pattern! And that 'leaf' ... beautiful pc! You got some 'pretty' glass there, girl! Lots of goodies & what a bargain $$ for the price of entertainment these days!!! TFS! Jeanne S.

Thanks, booberry -- me too. It's the perfect size for several things and I've used it every day since I got it home. :) Revere-ware was manufactured locally! It's long gone now, like pretty much all the manufacturing businesses in the US. :(
