I am still fluttering about my find yesterday at the Salvation Army! It was 50% off weekend and I happened to be close. My dear friend actually has the dream job of their in house appraiser! (He offered me the opportunity to assist him but it's just a little too far for me...it's probably best I didn't take the job if you know what I mean...). Anywhooooo...I definitely scored
First thing I found was a gorgeous Ethan Allen sofa marked down from $160.00 to $80.00 on a bright markdown sticker. I thought that there would be no way that this would be another 50% off...and it was! $40.00 for a slipcover Ethan Allen sofa!!! There is not one hair (yet) or spots anywhere!
Next, I walked to the dishes and such where these shiny beauty's were screaming at me to grab them quick! OMG OMG OMG. Solid red pottery!?!?! I had 2 pieces that were broken in the 94 quake and have rarely spotted in the years since.
These are flawless and bright. Poppytrail by Metlox and Gaetano Pottery from Redondo Beach, Ca.
The Gaetano had a beautiful bowl about the size of a 18 bowl. And what? Yes, another platter! Just look how perfect for all our valentines to display!
I'm sorry if this was long winded I'm just soo excited to share!!!
Oh and I almost forgot...my mason jar of buttons I got for $6.00 had not one, not two, but a whole set of four Chanel buttons! Ok, I'm done bragging.
Have a great night!
Look at my little trio of Rosie red pottery!
In love
Perfect vessel for when I open my antique valentines!
Look at how beautiful my $40.00 sofa is!
Beautiful buttons with a hidden treasure...Chanel buttons!
Along with lots of anchors and glass buttons were these!

    lucky girl! Don't you just love finding hidden treasures in back street shops, so much fun. Always makes me feel like I've gotten away with something when I find the great bargen's.
