Favorite things should be shared. I started collecting china on layovers in London years ago. The cup and saucer made the trip back. The plate and leather prayer book came from a tag sale in Chapel Hill. The hand painted dish $2.00 from GW.Beautiful cherry antique table w/spindel legs also that same tag sale.
Take it from me; "Buying a house, SIMPLE. Making it a HOME, takes time and that's the fun part!"
I love the Treasure Hunt at thrift stores. I google thrift,charity and consignment stores whenever I travel. Here in Raleigh I sell real estate so I'm all over town. I know where all the stores are located. I run through on a regular basis and just wanted to share. Somethings I re-sell,many I use to stage homes or give them to clients. In this economy it's even more special. I've given speeches on thrifting and coached friends and family on a successful "HUNT".

Deck Statement
A true gem for $65.00 on Craigslist. I'll enjoy playing with it to display my "white" collection for now.Next spring I'll see what will grow in there.
Buffet Display
I realized most of the glass and trey were collected second hand. Then I focused on the lamps.That's a story! I found them at a garage sale.They were old brass candlesticks. I had them made into lamps.
Cut glass for fun!
Cut glass is hitting the shelf at Goodwill and antique malls. Find an old tray as well and create a bathroom display. The glass makes a great container for bath salts.
Guest Room
I saw these headboards on Craigslist and had to have them! The room is coming together. The milk glass lamp and shade came from 2 different thrift shops.The "ribbon plates" were Mom's. How special is that...memories from Mom. The comforters and pillow shams from Tuesday morning.
