This vase is a Hall USA, $7.  I found it at the GW in Ocala, FL. If any of you are near Ocala, there is a HUGE GW there and I love going there, it's about 45 minutes from my house, but usually worth the drive, especially since Ocala has a Hobby Lobby too and my home town doesn't.  So this trip I picked up these faux lavender blooms 50% off.  The table scarf I found at the GW for $.99,.

This is my first tassell, found it at Marshall's on my trip to TN.  This is just too cute.


OK not a great picture of my cloche and stand.  I found these at the SA in my home town, while I was wandering in the store they announced a 15 minute sale of 75% off all knick knacks, so this was less than a $1.  The base was wood stained and I spray painted it black.  Also they had a sale on furniture and I found an adorable chair that I got for $4.99, was originally priced $19.99.  I am working on it and will show you all when I finish with it.  I am painting it a great aqua color, can't wait to see how it turns out.

This was another goody from SA also included in the sale, I think I paid $1.80 for it, it looks wonderful with all my ironstone and white dishes.

I have admired these frogs for a while now, usually when I have seen them at antique stores they are asking way too much for them.  When I was in Daphne AL visiting my SIL, she took me to a local antique mall. well I found a couple of frogs, I love the vintage color of the green one.  They were about $3-4 I think.

While in TN I discoverd my mom has a large collection of these wonderful blue Ball canning jars.  The 2 larger ones are 2 quart size, I think these are so beautiful and mom gave them to me, so free!!  You may notice the table scarf, it is stitched in a wonderful blue thread around the edges of the detailed design, that is another of my GW scores under $1

This is me playing with my camera, trying to get the wonderful hues of blue, the platter is a beauty aqua color, a new purchase at Marshall's $2,99.  Love my Lobelia (I think that is the correct spelling) in the pot in the background
