Weekend Finds

I did pretty good at the garage sales this weekend. It seems that since I've made a conscious effort to start collecting pottery, I'm finding some every week. That makes me happy! I think this beauty is my favorite. 10" of sheer beauteousness. YES, that IS a word, when collecting pottery! It was $1.00. I love this USA pottery planter. I've been wanting one like this for a while. 50cents!

A pretty little barkcloth pillow. 50cents.

A pink quilt for our daughter's bed. She takes hers to college with her, so I wanted something on the bed while she was away. She'll either love it or hate it. The gravy boat I am going to drill a hole in the bottom, so that I can plant a little flower in it, and set it on the porch. The pattern is "Avon Cottage", made in Staffordshire England. Do you think it's sacrilegious to drill a hole in it? I do, but I'm doing it anyway!

A honeycomb turkey, plastic roses!, aluminum glasses which I will sell on Ebay, a cute little clock because I am a sucker for cute little clocks, and two vintage blingy bow pins, 50cents for the pair.

And this I found at Menards. Have you seen the short infomercials for these, where they're $14.95 for 3 huge, bulbous ones? Well I didn't want a bulbous one, I wanted a nice, low profile one, so I thought this was a great deal at $1.99 for a 5 1/2" one. They also had the bigger ones. I can't remember the price, but they were WAY cheaper then getting them from those infomercials. I'm always happy when Walgreens gets all the "As Seen On TV" stuff in, so I don't have to pay shipping. Because, by golly, I've just GOT to have me a ShamWoW, and PediPaws, and let's not forget the HairDini! Have a great weekend, everyone!
