weekend treasures

 Good morning, friends! I hope you all had a good weekend. It's been hot

and humid here in northern Illinois, with lots of rain and thunderstorms. 

I was on the hunt at both Goodwill and Savers this weekend, though this

milk glass pieces is from the antique shop in Evanston where I got the

 butler's table back on the 14th. I have a small collection of milk glass and

couldn't resist this piece for a few dollars.

This coffee/teapot is one of my favorite finds from this weekend.

It's made by Taylor, Smith, Taylor and is the daylily pattern. I don't have any

 green in my kitchen and I don't have a separate dining room, so this beauty

 is going to my mom. It will go perfectly in her dining room.

 I like the versatility of this lace piece...it could go on a kitchen table, buffet,

dresser, or side table.

These beautiful red vases are from Crate and Barrel, made in Poland.

They're quite thick - as you can see from the rim - and heavy.

I have one of these French-style soldered ornaments (made by the English

artist, Sarah Lugg) hanging from my china cabinet.

I'm normally not into figurines OR angels, but there was something about this

little Lefton figurine that I thought was really precious.

I put it on Phil's memory shelf ~ which I'm going to clean up and rearrange this week.

More music to put on my computer and iPod...

A wooden sign for the laundry area. Now if I could only find one that said,

"Don't forget the clothes in the dryer."

Some women are into shoes; I'm more into purses. But I never pay full-price.

This one's a Franco Sarto.

 I also went to a library book sale this weekend and got seven novels,

a non-fiction book, and a cookbook. Hope your weekend was filled

with treasures of one kind or another, too!
