Only for a few dollars!
Look what I found.
Through out the years, I have changed my decorating practices as I am sure you have experienced as well. What once was so popular loses it's charm and fades away. Another phase comes by. These days I enjoy Thrift Stores, Tag Sales, Rummage Sales, Garage and Yard Sales more than ever. Never know what you will find. It's like a Treasure Hunt.
Decorating Home Haven is fun and I enjoy the finds.
Now I know we just celebrated the Fourth Of July and will be bringing out Fall Decorations soon, but before Easter, the Dining room table was cluttered with treasures I recently came home with. Flashback......
The SPOILS were spoiling our table manners. A goal was to clear the CATCH-ALL table and reclaim her for dining before Easter. Goal accomplished. The treasures ventured elsewhere in our home and on Easter Sunday we dined at the table.
Praise the Lord! Some Goals are necessary to live a good life.
The crystal vase held freshly cut tulips for the Easter Dinner centerpiece.
The lamp sits in the Family room shining away.
Gold Box is now featured in the Parlour.
Pretty Crystal Bowl held Easter Candy and shimmered.
Enjoying my treasures.
May you have fun living where you are and enjoy thrifty finds!

I love all the treasures you found, my favorite is the silver box.. I hope you're staying cool your way.. hugs ~lynne~
I went junkin' in your area over the past week. We just bought a lake home at Vassar, and I know that has to be pretty close to where you are! We also went to Burlingame, Scranton, Overbrook, Lyndon, and Osage City while we were at it. Hope you have a blessed week, thanks for sharing! Sandi
You are the true treasure! But the other things are nice too Deanna! (smile)
Have a good week.
Love, Linda
Great job! I always get overwhelmed with all of the choices and don't buy anything. I'm getting better at just choosing something I really love if it is only a few dollars and will be useful in my home. I get overwhelmed with clutter and have a hard time visualizing how I will use something.
Thanks for sharing how you display and use your finds.
Hi Deanna,
Your new treasures are wonderful and glad you found a new home for everything.
Have a great week and stay cool.
Hugs

I am starting a new meme tomorrow with a travel theme. The kickoff will feature a French themed giveaway. Your hotel elgin series would fit the bill nicely so I would love for you to link up!
How lovely! Those are amazing finds. Thanks for your kind comment on my blog too :)
