I have found some great deals and still out there searching for more...
I will post pictures soon!

I found this little bench at a flea market tag sale at the community church. It has a weave seat. I painted it, and had the pillow (bought for $4)...It is in the sunroom at this time.

This is my find for today. The shelves were missing, so I got this heavy side console for $30. I will later get some shelf replacements and put a faux finish on. Trying out some stuff sitting round for the moment to see how it looks.

This was an awesome find!!! It is a 1972 plaster cast from a Chicago company. It was this hideous off white with cheap looking gold highlights. I redid the faux finish, and it is now on my wall dressing up the area of light switches fireplace and fan wall gadgets.

I found these three bottom pieces from Southern Living in a shop for mere dollars, then found the top piece, and antiqued it with paint....The second pic shows the detail of the verdigris.

Just a few of my latest finds. I love the little herb bottles, and the bronze like medallions plus the door pot are from "Southern Living". I painted and glazed the little table, and the objects on top, found in various shops.

Charity shop Hyacinth for $2

I found these in a shop for $18, and they look great on the tv table. I had the candles already and just mixed and matched together.

Fat Chicks

I found this chair yesterday, and could not resist for $10. There was a corner in the sun room that was just waiting for this pretty little occasional piece.

I found these two little hand thrown jars for $1 each. They are both signed, the one on the right EM, so could be EM Pottery in Mass. The other looks to be A.Haeger, a company outside Chicago.

I paid $4 for this little plant stand, and I painted it, using a marbling faux technique, and a Art Nouveau style pattern.

Vintage vanity mirror I found in an antique shop. I have a large one on my bedroom dresser.

Sterling I picked up for pennies at various shops.

I found these two little wooden boxes(canisters) in a charity shop for a $1 each. They have a metal chicken on them and were a brown wood. I brushed over them with paint.

Another Provence piece. I have a few of these pattern, a platter, and several bowls.

I got these beautiful platters in Provence. I have two, and they are about 18x18 with a lovely country pattern typical of the region. The little wooden pig was from a market in St.Remy.

I found these French pots in a shop for a song...They are vintage imports for  Charles R. Ruegger's "Bazar Francais." in New York.
It is said that Rueggers was influential in the young man who started Crate and Barrel.

Sorry for no posts!!! Have been busy, busy, busy! I have some goodies to share though, so will start with this one! These are W.S George china, made in US. This is the Vogue pattern and is 22carat gold. I got the entire 8 place settings, snagged them at an estate sale. The crystal is Waterford's 2000 Millenium pattern. Also, the little salt cellars were found at a summer flea market.

Another really cool find today! A Roseville Pottery Hyde Park ashtray. These were popular between the 1940s-1950s. This one is in MINT, no chips, marks, wear at all! The engraved initial is attached with a scew, and has a very nice patina. At $3, I made good, as a similar one on Ebay was $30

Even though he is not vintage, I love "Fun" things, so I found this guy today! He was a steal for $8

I got this little kitchen table for $12 and put a lot of my bowl collection. Is nice to have them out where they can be seen. Bottom shelf, has Le Creuset red water pitcher, a French casserole in brown, an old wooden bowl, a Wilton casserole, and a red Italian casserole. Second shelf holds some of my vintage yelloware, a Roseville bowl with the blue stripe, and the yellow bowls in back are Le Creuset mixers.
Top shelf has a vintage French casserole with lid on the right, and my fruit basket.

I found this vintage plaster frame in a local antique store. It had a wee bit of damage to the plaster, so I got a great deal on it. I decoupaged the paper mat from one of my favorite restaurants in St.Remy and put in the frame. Vintage frames are fairly easy to repair, using clay to make a mold and pouring plaster, then applying to the missing areas.

Part two of the lot I purchased. The platter is by Mayer China Co, the pattern in Blue Persian, and was made between 1930-1940. It is restaurant ware, and was used by the Continental Hotel in Washington, DC. The Continental was built in 1910, at 420 N Capital and E streets, It was demolished in 1975.

The two bowls are made in Italy, but no makers mark, and the little pitcher has a mark, but is illegible, even with a magnify glass. It has blue berries on it, and is very heavy.

Now, these were an awesome find! These were made by Earth Born Pottery, a cottage industry founded by artist Tina Payne, outside Birmingham, Al. Tina got her start, after a chef she delivered shitake mushrooms to, commissioned her to make table ware for his restaurant.The porridge bowl retails for $45 and the plate $54

I love this "Bee Bowl". It has the name Changwei on the bottom, and the only pottery reference I can find is a company in Terni, Italy.

Part of a lot I got at an estate sale for practically pennies. the metal is a hammered copper pot, the two pottery pieces on the right are gorgeous and the other three pieces I have close up photos.

This little table I found in a shop near Baltimore for $12. I love it, and it is all weathered and is so much fun having in my family room.

Another big bread bowl

A teapot from Pier One I paid $6 for, and the vase is a Waterford I found in a little shop. The tray is a vintage with wicker trim, and I got that in another little shop in the area.

I got this cabinet as part of a barter agreement. A friend wanted a painting done, so we traded. The cabinet was dark brown, and I painted it white then dry brushed a blue over.

I went through a period looking for all blue things, this is part of that obsession.
