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.

Plant Stands!

OK, they are old "smoking toys". The left that one was an ash tray. On the right they called it a smoking stand. When it comes to wrought iron I call it my deck decor. They were both $5.00 a piece at GW.

Numbered print by Kim Parker

Wow, what a find!  Kim Parker is an internationally renowed textile designer, author, illustrator and painter. Her studio is in NYC.
She's be upset that I just paid $8.00 for this print at GW in Cary NC.
A great day of showing beautiful homes to a buyer in Cary. A quick run through and another treasure. You have to know where the GW's are located! Add the PTA thrift stores to your list when you get near Chapel Hill!

Jewelry too!

They decided to bring these out just prior to closing at GW. Things are slow then and they start to restock. One says Chico's on a small metal tag. They are such fun for $1.87 a piece!

Sweet chair!

How perfect! Just right for my desk. I'm back at GW and it was just $10.00. Lots of little treasures each and everyday. I found a nice little chest and thrilled when young buyers used it in their nursery.
