Funky and Fabulous Finds


Have come across some fabulous finds , thought I would share some of them with you ! I came across this wonderful old box ....lifted it and ...wow inside it is full of metal letters for a sign. These would be great in altered art , or even in home decor ! A lot of letters all in various sizes!
Found these vintage science lab flasks ! Love the tallest one , has an adorable little glass stopper also , the design of these is so simple , yet has the potential to make a great statement on a shelf or table scape !
Do you love wine?? A wicker wine case , ready to carry on an afternoon outing ! How cute is that?
Old buttons !! My eyes seem to search these out all the time , What is it about old buttons , seems like they can tell a story all of there own ! Love the carved buttons in this tin I got full of a bunch of "stuff" !
Vintage ( well somewhat vintage) aviation log book , I love the images , great for altered art projects !! Fabulous colors !

Have a wonderful week ! Summer has been so busy that my posting is now & then whenever I can fit one it , hope you are having a fabulous summer !!

What's Up With This ?

What is up with this? This is what I woke up to ..... is it really May 2 ? This is a watering can I have sitting on a little wood bench my dad made for me many years ago ,all dusted with snow ! We have been teased with a few nice spring days and now it has been cold and rainy , mixed with snow . Brrrrr , I am so ready for spring ! It's coming I know !

Yesterday there were a few yard sales , most were cancelled because of the cold , but I did hit one that had fabulous things! Was an estate sale, an elderly woman's family was having a sale of everything in her home . She had wonderful things , I just wished I wouldn't of been two hours late getting there! I was busy taking care of some other things before I made it to check out all of the yard sales! Beautiful Bleko glassware, adorable bird cage, and that silver teapot ... the lid is broken but I already know what Iam going to do with it so it doesn't matter. That super tall white milk glass vase is beautiful !

Just a few of the treasures I got , don't you love it when you find great things? Have a blessed Sunday !

Time and Finds

I was out and about this week and stopped at a local thrift shop , I came across this .... I love it ! Of course when I got it it had dirt and "stuff" all in the inside on the glass insert. Now I need to decide what I want to put in it ! Any ideas??? Let me know in the comments , would love to hear some ideas !!

It is also that time of the year .... fall back an hour in time tonight !!!! A decorative clock in one of my rooms that a friend gave to me awhile ago because she didn't want it , so there it sits ! It is all decoration and does not even tell time !!
I listed my chandelier painting on Etsy , can be found by clicking here.

Saturday Finds !


Has been awhile since I posted ! I have been under the weather for quite awhile and Iam just now starting to feel better , so I listed some finds in my SecondTreasures shop on Etsy ! The sweetest little baby dress with a pink hanger and pink buttons on a card , this would be adorable to hang in a nursery !I have a ton of vintage buttons and I am slowly working on a destash project ! Here I attached some black vintage buttons on some tags , also in my SecondTreasures shop!And I will also be listing a lot of vintage handkerchief's ! This is a set of two that I will be listing also . One is pink and the other yellow , same design with the tags on still !
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend ! We got another three inches of snow yesterday so I should go and finish shoveling snow !!
