Shopping Break

I needed to get away from painting and creating this weekend.  So, we went to a few garage and estate sales.



The minute I stepped inside this sale, I knew I'd find something.



Yes, I spotted the carved tables right away, but, the price was more than I wanted to spend.

I actually had more fun (price wise) in the basement,




and garage.







Yes, the birdcage came down.  Great color.




I love this bottle.












There's more, but, I have to do some cleaning and sorting.

See ya soon.

    Wonderful purchases - my favorites are the cage and the bottle. I did the opposite - I stayed in and painted!

    What beautiful things you found, Rosemary! I love it all. I think this would have been one of those sales that I would have gotten excited about. Although, that excitement can die down when you start checking out the prices!

    I would just LOVE to attend an estate, garage or junk sale with you! You have such a keen eye for stuff that I would probably just pass by. In your eyes that stuff is a beautiful creation. All of your finds will become great treasures in your hands. I especially love the bowl full of beautiful odds and ends. I can't wait to see what you do with your finds!

    Love the Christian Bros. bottle. I have been to the Christian Bros. winery when it existed, I think it's now a culinary academy. One of the times my friend and I were wine tasting and someone had a box of kittens outside Christian Bros. The sucker that I am, and maybe a few too many wine samples, I took a kitten home, mewing for an hour and a half in the car the entire way. It was a good cat. My boyfriend also went to Christian Bros. High School, so funny to see that bottle so far from home.

    Who doesn't love a vintage birdcage! Looks like you got a great haul! I recently did a post on how to easily restore those missing pieces on the old fancy frames if you are interested.
