Found Treasures

I explored a "junk store" yesterday that Sue Bee & Butterflies told me about.  I stated that I "explored" a "junk store because that is exactly what I did....it is a thrifter's dream come true.  I felt like I was on American Pickers...you have to dig through everything and really look for the treasures.  But treasures are to be found....I cleaned up what I found, priced items, and took them up to my booth, Lily Dily at Art Angels.  I moved everything around and moved things out and put in the new "finds"....still have some  a lot of fine tuning to do, didn't have time today to my booth....

Fiesta mugs...reminds me of Easter....and she sold them to me at $1 each!!

Picked up these great wine glasses...I have others like these...love the black stems..

Great finds...

Basket full of goodies...note the patent leather tap shoes..old..love them
Silver plated creamer...

Found this to hang all my vintage purses up....aren't they great?

Moved this little side table to have a better spot.  I revamped this...one of the first...

Also moved my telephone table in a better spot...with the telephone glasses and the Avon phone decanter....

A mixture of things...

My little creamer with another silver plated find

Wow....still have A LOT of work to beautify this...ran out of time today and haven't really felt well either...well tomorrow is another day, right?
