Last Minute Thrifting

We decided to visit a garage sale at the last minute today. Since it is a Sunday we didn't expect to find much. We were pleasantly surprised to find someone who had a garage full of stuff and it was just a matter of digging through boxes.

We found an old mirror that has beveled edges and a beautiful shape. It doesn't look like much now but I envision a nice art project created out of this.

We also found a silver plated cream and sugar bowl by Cavalier from around 1937.

It was a nice haul for such a last minute treasure hunt.

    Pretty, pretty mirror! I've seen one or two that look similar, but they always want more than I want to pay. Love the silver {always}, too.

    The shape of that mirror is wonderful. I'm sure you'll come up with something great. I think it's those unexpected sales that turn out the best.

    You were lucky to find these things on the last day. When you do that, you normally get them at a better price too. I like both items but the creamer set is nice.
