Week 14 ~ Diamonds In The Rough!

Diamonds In The Rough! is my weekly feature, where I show you the treasures that I find from garage sales, thrift stores and antique stores.

This weekend sales were few for two reasons; Hubby was home with me on vacation and it's a holiday weekend. (Fourth of July) So we just hit a couple and called it good.

I went to one garage sale that said it was an estate sale. Usually a good sign that I can get smalls (glass items) and furniture real cheap.  That was the case with this sale.  Just look at this bench. At only $4, I didn't even want to dicker with the owner. I will be transforming this into a real beauty, real soon.

Then there was several tables of smalls (glass items). Nothing had prices, but the lady told me to pile up what I wanted and she would make me a deal. So I piled and piled and piled. I got all you see below for only $3 for the teacups, two pitchers, frame and all the glass ware!!!

Six cup and saucers and a string of pearls.

Not quite the ironstone pitchers that I collect, but beauties anyway.

Metal frame from Italy. Remember what I did with another one like it? (below)

I will be doing the same with my newly acquired one.

Are you seeing what I am?

Yes, more garden art, but this time to sell.

This one turned out so pretty. It was cold in the house and when I took it outside for pictures, the condensation started on the glass.

  Hubby and I went to another sale and found these...

Yep, another feed sack, $5.

More glass for...more garden art used in above picture.
