NEW VINTAGE FINDS

The only courage that matters is the one that gets you from one moment to the next. Mignon Mclaughlin

It didn't take long after our Labor Day sale for me to get out buying again.  A short break and I was out there pickin'! There is only a short time frame to do our buying as there are not as many options during the winter months. Estate Sales and Auctions are few and far between if there are any at all! Garage sales are entirely over by early Fall. So you gotta get pickin' while the pickin's good! Winter months are usually spent working on projects like refinishing furniture, repurposing, painting, sewing and more!
So here are some finds that I picked up last week. Lots of blues...my favorite so they seem to stand out to me... and some "rustic" treasures. 

Below are three "clock" napkin holders. Aren't they fun? You can see the ring that holds the napkin in the holder in back. Too bad there weren't  more! You could always repurpose them for table decor. Reminds me of Alice In Wonderland!
                                             
                                          Here is a very pretty flow blue sugar bowl. 



 







And last but not least...this wood swan... a KEEPER for ME! She is already sitting on top of my armoire!

    Here in Orlando it is just the opposite, estate and tag sales are just starting, it is to hot in the summer. I love those clock napkin holders and all of the smalls, yep money is made on smalls.

    I just love all the blue and white! They all match my kitchen perfectly. That swan is to die for and reminds me of my farmhouse in the 80's....I used to find stuff like that then.
