A great acquisition for the gardens~!

Just pause for a moment & ponder the possibilities with these cuties...

They were picked up at a yardsale yesterday for 'Fifty Cents' a piece... !

As I was driving down the street, they caught my eye & so did the 'yard sale' sign....

I had to turn around and go back for them. I was thinking probably $3, to $5 a piece as I was navigating my way back down the street...

I couldn't believe they were only 'two quarters' a piece

 when I got there~!

I was walking around holding them close to my heart as if someone may come from behind and roll me for them... lol

Isn't it funny how posessive we get when we locate something we like?

This weekends 'junkin' was certainly a sucess ~ by mistake~!

They will definitely find some cute little place in one of my gardens when the landscaping is completed ~
The white one is my favorite, but both have such charm...

Until the next 'junkin excursion'...

My pledge to never buy another "terracotta" pot was of course, a lie~!

SCORE~!!!

I went to a yardsale today and oh boy...
I have totally lied about my pledge to never buy another 'terracotta' pot that I'll break...
I bought a few boxes of them, because I couldn't beat the price.

I love YARDSALE season~!

Who wouldn't have bought these cute things???

Eye candy at an antique's mall~ Soooooo much to see~!

Sadly, we had to attend a family members funeral on Saturday up North (Northern Utah)...  After the services, we were coming back through Sprinville and I seen "Treasures Antique Mall"~ again... I've seen it over and over in our trips to the 'Big City,' for years now and I've always wanted to go peek around, but I never seem to have the time.

Well Saturday, we made the time ~ Yay...
Holy Wow~!!!

A person could get lost in those 2 buildings all day ~ perhaps, all week. Awesome collections, but sadly, not many "primitiques," as I call them (Primitive Antiques) in my price range. I'm quite strict on my penny pinching, so I don't just buy impulsively. I did however acquire 2 vintage rolling pins and a wood mallet for my old crock I'll soon be moving into the kitchen (when I figure out where to put it in the kitchen)...

They did have some awesome things though and some memorable things to add to my bucket list.
You would all be proud of me ~ I didn't buy one piece of lace...

(Is that even allowed? Not even a doilly~!)

But, I did pet it all. And, I did enjoy walking around looking at all of it~!

One of my favorite things...

Pretty pricey, but fun to look at.

Wouldn't these just be lovely on any patio, or by any front door?

This antique light would be gorgeous in my living room?

But, sadly, it hadn't been converted to electrical and I just couldn't talk my better half into doing it for me right now.

So, I took a picture to remember it by and kept on looking...

And then this cute little 'chippy' drop side table.

This would be so CUTE on a porch. I just couldn't bring myself to

pull the trigger on the price listed, but I will make a mental note and

find a similar one, when my porch is finished...

There wasn't alot of crocheted lace bed linens, but that one

tucked in the back there on the left, the 'pinwheel pattern' just

nearly came home with me.

But, on a thorough inspection, there was just too big of a stain

on one side for my taste and for the price ~

But oh' did I ponder the possibility of it draped at the foot of an upstairs bed...

And when I turned the corner and seen this treasure chest,

my heart fluttered...

But sadly, there was a board across the top so what I thought would be a 'treasure chest' of linens to dig through and pet, only turned out to be what is shown.

Major let-down~!
