My Finds

I slept in this morning so I think I missed some good stuff. But it was raining so probably not to much. I hit a few sales and the dump. this wooden tray I thought was kinda cute. An old easter basket and a bag of thread most are on wooden spools. All a pretty good bargin.
Then I stopped at the dump on the way home. They have a little shed that people can leave things in that they think someone else would want. I spied this and my heart did a flip in my chest. A beautiful old yellow ware bowl.

And then I saw this. It is a very bad patch job and the reason it was at the dump. Ahhhhhhh.
Well I couldn't leave it could I? So I cleaned it up and added pinecones and a nest. I put a zinc flower pot in the middle that has a candle in it and I have a center piece. I wish I could get the pieces out and clean the old glue off and do a better patch job but it is what it is.


The air is so heavy I hate this weather. and the reason I live in northern N.E. so I don't have to deal with this kind of air. I picked up my check at the antique booth yeha!! another good month.
in 3 months I have taken home over 450.00 that is just from yard sale and thrift store finds. I really enjoy this little hobby. maybe I will get the courage to do ebay at some point.

Your yellowware bowl is wonderful. I don't pass up something just because it has been repaired or missing a piece ~ even when buying.
Congrats on another good month at the antique mall. Making money is good so you can buy more treasures...or wool!
Hopefully your weather will be better in a day or two. Here in northern Ohio it is finally a beautiful day, but I think another heat wave is coming Monday. At least I got some much needed yard work done today and hopefully will get more done tomorrow.
Pug hugs :)
