Majolica and Garden box window

SCORE!!!

I'm not talking about football...

I so scored at the thrift store this morning!!

Etruscan majolica for $2.00!!!

I did not let this baby go until it was paid for...

it now sits with the rest of my collection.

Another project I worked on this Sunday...

Was marrying an old vintage window

with an old tool box I had bought

from Susie awhile back.

Turned out pretty darn cute!

Four screws were added to the back

of the box and front of the window for support.

hehe...a bit crooked in the picture but still cute.

To keep or not to keep?

Estate Sale finds

Working at the Melbourne Estate Sale

on Saturday was fun but crazy busy!

My finds...

Yes yes, I do have another couple

similar as this that just got engaged...

but I couldn't leave them behind!

Can you pass up silver with crystals???

I love hand painted flower pictures...

Roses that will be in bloom all year long!

I love estate sales...

White mirror

I was not able to go the the flea market today

so I thought I'd show you what I

have been working on.

Remember this?

It now has two coats of ASCP...

and I still need to touch up here and there

then maybe some dark AS wax.

Yayyy...

My furniture projects are getting smaller....and

I need to run to Mt. Dora and buy more paint.

Road trip...

Hugs...

Glass bowls and jars

Raise your hand if you have too many

glass bowls, jars or fun containers!

I'm with you...my hand is up.

Can you pass up a super duper large

fish bowl for a couple of dollars??

Not me...

Ok..so I did pass on this jar

the first time AND offered to sell

it to my friends.

After I filled it with corks

I immediately changed my mind and kept it.

Can you blame me? (wink)

I call this my Denise jar

since she was the one who 

found it for me.

A hoya terrarium that

sits in my garden window...

there's a jungle in there!

The pear was filled with ugly

dried flowers at one time...

now it contains a hoya.

Beautiful decanter with

mini orchids and moss.

Love this yellow canister with

colored hand blown glass balls...

and if you've seen my Halloween posts you

KNOW I have more!

An obsession or collection?

I call it an obllection..haha

Project day

Some projects that I worked on early this

morning...all for sale at the Emporium.

Hehe...my hubby walks in and looks at my

contraption and says..."I have clamps you know"...haha

A beautiful gold frame that

is not selling...so take some

ASCP and go to town!!

My hubby's family is over, helping

to put a  plug in for the welder into

the pool pump switch...and in order

to do this the power had to be switched off...the

circuit breaker panel is behind my hutch.

So after all is done my hubby turns

on the power, moves the hutch back in place.

And while hanging my Diego Rivera print above the

hutch he drops it!!!!

I know he worked hard BUT my dear hubby

is like a bull in a china shop.

The glass and frame broke and thank goodness

the print did not get a scratch on it!

Now I need a new frame...

It's been a long day...

I am off to go enjoy the sun with Tazzy.

Have a good weekend,

Sylvia

Hearts and Romance

I've been on the lookout for some

valentine items....

The rusty metal heart and wire gold heart were

were garage sale finds along

with the men's vintage collar and

beautiful Neiman's Ad fan.

Romance or what???

I was so giddy when I came across

all these Harelquin Romance books...

they bring back memories of when I used to read them

a looong time ago!

Perfect for Valentines Day.

Beachy themed items...

the red and blue vintage pot holders are super cute!!!

Or the abalone cup holder..

Great finds these week!

Have a super weekend,

Sylvia

The Rusty Gate and My Trinkets get-together

It's so much fun to shop with another

antique/collector dealer.

I learned so much

from Denise today...The Rusty Gate

We liked the same things...

compared stories of great finds and sales...

both my arms were full along

with Denise's buggy!

Giant apothecary bowl

will be full of sea shells...

Check out the Louis Icart print...

I sure hope I have a frame for it.

Princess house decanter, heavy

pink candle holder and a 

cute shell picture were some

fun finds!!

I love the color combination...

the signed BLUE Joy of Cooking cookbook

is a keeper...love those blues!!!

Red Cliff ironstone pitcher and Steiff pewter

cups and bowl were a

score!!

Now you know I can't pass up

these sweeties...yup it's

a keeper.

Super cool yellow vintage cart with

wrought iron legs...it's full

of scratches and stains...

I am going to try and sell it AS IS

and see what happens...

Thanks Denise for a great day,

Flea finds with some veggies

Happy Wednesday...

A peak of this weeks

thrift and flea finds!

lots of goodies that will

end up at the emporium.

I was so excited to find the ironstone platter (a keeper)

and Princess House flower plates!

If you are ever at the little

flea market on US1...

please stop by and check out

the fruit and veggie stand!

Oh my gosh...he has the BEST and cheapest

produce around!

$2.00 for  6 tomatoes

$2.00 green beans

$ 1.00 for 4 lemons (great for juicing)

$2.00 for 3 lbs grapes

$2.00 Plant City strawberries (they are soooo sweet!)

$2.00 mushrooms

$1.00 for 2 ears of corn!!!!

They are open on Wed, Fri, Sat and Sun.

And I get to practice my Spanish when I shop there!!!

I think this is why I like this flea market so much...

My son has been juicing the lemons for lemonade,

they taste pretty good with peels and all!!!

My lunch...

Green beans and mushrooms sauteed in olive oil

with some garlic and onion...

it was delish...

Toodles...

Bottle tree

Another small project I worked on today

is cleaning wine bottles.

My neighbor gave me this

box of wine bottles.

Look how pretty and colorful they are

once the labels are peeled off!

A Christmas present from my

sweet and dear hubby...

A bottle tree!!!

The bottle tree is finally getting full!

 

I do need a couple more bottles...

 and I think it will have to be

cemented in the ground as

it tends to lean from

the soft ground.

It will be moved to my new

garden bed once it's done!

Love, love, love it!!!

Thanks Babe...

Playing with crystals

My small copycat project pile has been growing...

so it's time to work on it and get it out

of the way!!

 Out comes all my crystals, prisms and tools.

I drilled holes on some of the hooks...

 made jump rings on others...

and tada...they look so much better

with pretty bling!

They will be hanging around at the Emporium
tomorrow.

On to the next project...

Thanks to Carol from The Polka Dot Closet
for her pretty idea.
