Be sure to take a peak at all the Junkin Monday finds over at Nice and Easy Antiques.
This is the lovely fan I have been hunting for sometime...it was in the house but minutes before dear hubby had it in the garage torn apart to see if he can get it running. This is not me complaining, I am very happy to have a HANDY man. It just would have been a better photo if it had been in one piece. The add for the sale stated that " I am an artist pack rat headed to Australia and all must go." in the list of items was listed an antique fan. Sale started at 8, we arrive just a few minutes early to find nothing set up...true to the artist spirit I thought. I share that I was here hoping to buy the fan. Out it came from the back seat of her car...$5.oo not sure if it works, wiring a bit scary ! OK, friends, this girl had on the most fabulous cowboy boots ever...I wanted to knock her down and take them...instead I bought the pair pictured on down the post...her aunt lives in Texas and sends her vintage boots...can you have her send me some???
Really, Beauty Can?...I guess that beauty is in the eye of the beholder...however I did buy this beauty.
I bought these 3 glass door knobs for a project. The centers are mercury glass. I was afraid of the price and when I heard $1.50 each, I wished there were more!
Here are the boots. The black ones with the oh so great stitching. They also are a taller boot which I love to wear with a dress. I paid $30.00...steal!
This fabric appears to have been a robe that has been cut apart. If I didn't know better I would say that it was stitched from silk slips.
Is that Christmas sneaking in? I liked that this candle light was of brass and not plastic.
And drum roll please....the buy of the weekend....bookshelf with beading and scallops for....more drum roll ...pause.....$15.00....Shut UP! It was cold out ...but it went home in the Mustang, top down! Good thing I wore a down vest and wool hat!
and I just had to share this picture...hydrangeas in November in the South! Yes, out of my garden. I know, share in my surprise!
Can you feel the envy from there???? I bet you can!!!! I'll take my Envy-Pill and come back later...Grrrr!!!!!
