as i mentioned in my last post, it is the season for finding great treasures. this past weekend i found tons of great stuff!
i bought two pretty rose plates and a fabulous vintage mirror for only $10 the first day of an estate sale in town. the rose plates I've been collecting for the past 8 years in lieu of us having any formal china, so i was happy to add those to my growing collection. and the mirror i have big plans for when we finally get around to doing our downstairs bathroom.
so my mom and i decided to scout out the estate sale on it's last day to see if there were any bargains (amidst ballet recital weekend)
sure enough we got to fill a box for only $1. AWESOME
here's what i came home with...
this sweet little tea/espresso cup. it's in such a vibrant yellow and the handle painting resembles some sort of bird. i love it! it will be perfect to serve some mustard or jam or honey in.
i found two of these little rose bowls. the pattern was pretty and i always love the gold rim. great to serve a side of olives or lemon wedges or something.
and here's a picture of the china loot.
i love that i can layer some of them too. they all kind of coordinated.
i also found a vintage mint green zipper for who knows what project, but hey, it was in the $1 box. and...
these beautiful gold-tipped needles.
and this old calendar page from May 1982. i just really loved the moon images.
