Look what I found in my tree...
Ok, I didn't find it, I put it there- but look at it- isn't it great?
Of course, I mean the hanger. It's Italian and has a Florentine label on it.
Memorial Day weekend isn't known for great junking, but I managed to find a great sale in a very large, very full, very nice house yesterday. It was so good that I had to go back today for half price day and I brought Karla with me.
I didn't take pictures of a lot of my finds- but even though it's only May, I loved these snowflocked Christmas ornaments.
And doesn't that Italian candlestick look like a nice match for the hanger?- Both Italian gilt.
Speaking of Christmas, check out these Shiny Brite Santa mugs in the original package. I immediately thought of Barbara the queen of vintage holiday decorations. (Barbara, I only paid $1.00).
The sale had a lot of religious books including Bibles and much by Mary Baker Eddy and much Christian Scientist literature.
I bought this 1897 Bible because of the letter inside it.
My dear boy this Bible is a Christmas present from your mother. Please read it when you have time and on Sunday read it.
After the estate sale, it was still early and we had "time" to spare, so Karla and I went to visit Carol at her shop Raised in Cotton.
Lots of the stuff I love- rusty, chippy and tarnished.
Too bad I didn't take more pictures of all the cute displays- but Karla did- here's Carol helping Karla with her new camera- and I got a picture of that.
On a completely different subject, I've been meaning to mention a new blog that always makes me smile.
Buster is 5 month old dog that lives in New York City. I'd like to think that if my dogs had blogs, they would be equally entertaining.
