Pretty find of the day..

See these lovelies below?
I bought seven of them for only $1
Oh how I love a good deal...
 

Glass drawer pulls go with anything and everything.
 I love how you can make a single piece of furniture romantic just by adding a glass drawer pull. Or you can add them to an old rustic kitchen for an instant pick me up. You can even leave them on a tray as a display, maybe with some pretty flowers.
I'm going to add my drawer pulls to a built in cabinet in my bathroom, I cannot wait to see how they are going to look!
How do you feel about glass drawer pulls?

Treasure of the week

This is Honey Bear, he is an old cast iron bank, isn't he just adorable!
He is the treasure of the week!
I came across him at Goodwill. As they brought a cart out full of stuff, I walked over and started scoping all the stuff out, I moved around some bags, and underneath all the bags was Honey Bear. The woman next to me said, "who would want that", "it's old". What's funny about this whole situation is, I wanted him, he was a treasure to be told, he was amazing, he was vintage, and not only was he cute, but I knew he was going to be worth something! My mum walked over, and I showed her Honey Bear. I knew that she would want him, I mean, we both love pretty much the same stuff. And that's who ended up buying him for only $5. But I found him, so that's why he is the treasure of the week!
Turns out, Honey Bear is worth some big bucks! When I looked him up, he was around $250- and up. Just check out here or here. Not like we would sell him, but at least we know, if we ever needed some money, he would be worth a lot. And as time goes on, maybe he will be even more! But for right now, I know he has a great home, with someone that will love him!


Honey Bear is an old cast iron bank was made by the Hubley Company in the 1930's!



Have you found any great treasures lately?

Charleston Thrifting

i love thrift stores

Yesterday my mum wanted to go to Charleston, and do a little shopping. Something kept telling me to go to this one Thrift Store; the last time I was in Charleston (dropping the boyfriend off at the airport), something told me to go in the thrift store, but it said not until your with your mum. And when I say "something told me", I'm referring to my gut.. I guess it's my gut talking to me.
Anyways yesterday we were running late, we were near the Outlets which is in one direction, and the Thrift Store I wanted to go to, was in the completely opposite direction. We hit traffic.. and the time was clicking. But I wasn't in any rush, which is unusual. I just said to myself, if it's meant to be there, it will be. Well luckily we got there and had thirty minutes to look around. As we walked to the back of the store, my mum spotted these Vintage bowls that she loves, a set of three, (in Pennsylvania, each one of those bowls go for $22- and up)! She got hers all for under $7! Great deal, huh?
Well she picked her bowls up, moved a few more feet, and found an old Vintage dog, a few more feet, she found an even bigger one! She has a few in her bedroom, she likes to put her pearls all over them, they look so French! I think each one was under $2.. they are pretty cute!
I guess that feeling I got was right, it wanted my mum there so she could find her bowls and doggies!








Thank goodness it's Friday!
And I am definitely enjoying it!
I hope everyone has a beautiful weekend!

It's something girls love..


I love antique jewelry, and that's what I pretty much look for while I'm at Flea Markets and Yard Sales. All these pieces came from a Flea Market in Florida called "Renningers". They were all really cheap, which I love! I got three other necklaces, but they are more costume jewelry. If you do love antique jewelry then you might like what this blogger has to say-A Trice of Life.
