Antiquing on Fabulous Friday

Today I had a few errands to run and one of them was very close to my neighborhood antique shop. One of the dealers was having a great sale and I took advantage of it! Take a peek at what I found today!

The Atlantic City teacup and saucer will be put to good use as homes for my pin cushion creations. The buttons--of course I'll pop them on pin cushions or totes! The brooches--the green plastic one is my favorite!--will adorn one of my totes. Gosh! I can't belive I've made about 900 totes over the past 8 years! AND the millinery flowers of the hat will embellish pin cushions too! Made over 300 of those too. My, how time flies!

Brooches--old ones--are such fun!

The dancer pair of rhinestone brooches were only $3 for the pair! Don't you just adore the pink scalloped edging on the teacup? Now, time for my big purchase of the day...

Here's my big purchase of the day! I couldn't believe the bargain I got on these chenille and bead cake decorations. One dollar EACH! I just about passed out.

Isn't this a wonderful assortment? There are thirteen of them!! A Baker's Dozen!

They are all in great shape too. The colors are just wonderful! I've never seen a happier crowd!

This crazy rabbit is one of my favorites!

When I saw these chenille and bead critters in the store today, I hastily remembered my copy of ME Home Companion. Now, my critters aren't 100% chenille, but I think they might have been made in the 50's or early 60's. They have their own special charm!

Here's to very happy hunting this holiday weekend! Wear sunscreen!

XXOO, Beth
