New Friends and Shabby New Finds

Because I took some time off from work last week and am still on vacation this week, I had the chance to chat with the same two women waiting for two different mid-week sales. They are both avid estate sale shoppers and are both extremely polite and courteous. I had so much fun visiting with them and hearing of their shopping adventures.

This week's treasures had a shabby chic theme. I had a lot of favorite finds but I love this Fenton, Silver Crest Tiered Stand. It is so sweet.

My other favorite find was this vintage brass display stand with clasping hands.

I found several wire baskets that can also be used for displaying items. 

These two vintage pieces caught my eye because of their cool Depression-era green color. One is a wooden utensil box with Dutch windmills on the side. The other is a chippy metal tissue box with painted flowers.

When I first saw this "California" state hankie, I was excited because I liked the image. When I got home and looked at it more carefully I realized that it had several misspellings. Or maybe it is intentional because even the large word "CALIFORNIA" seems to be misspelled.

It was a fun week of treasure hunting. Meanwhile, my bathroom remodel is more than half-way done {it would have been completed by now if I didn't keep changing my mind.}
