Recent Finds
Today, I thought I would share with you some of my recent purchases. Last month, I co-chaired a tea at a Victorian Home in Melrose and the homeowner told me she had to clear out the house and sell all her belongings. She was moving to a much smaller home. I looked at all her beautiful china and wanted it all. I settled on this sugar and creamer. I don't have any blue and white china so I thought it would be nice to have a couple pieces. I got the little white coaster at a flea market in Malden.
I bought this vase at a yard sale in Reading for $3. I wanted something tall for the top of my CD rack.

This also came from the Victorian home.
Another yard or rummage sale find. This time in Winchester. Yes, it is limoges. It's a chocolate pot and I got it for $10.
Aren't these sweet? They're ceramic and I got them at a store called Sweet Thoughts in Melrose.
I put white tulips in this turquoise Ball jar. I love this color. Last week when I was in Concord, I picked up three of these jars. I put one of them in the common area of the condo near the back door. Now there's something pretty back there. The other 3 unit owners are guys so usually there's snow shovels and rock salt back there. I feel it's my job to beautify the area and the guys don't seem to mind.
That's it for now. Don't forget to enter my blog giveaway. Leave a comment on the post if you haven't already.

I like the vase a lot and I am in amazement at what you paid for the chocolate pot!! The lamp is very pretty in the photo so I can only imagine what it must look like in your home. I also like your use of the Ball jars. I love to use all sorts of glass bottles as vases, even with a single stem in a small vase or a bunch of wheat in a wide mouth jar. So simple and charming.
Keep up the great work! It sounds like you are having fun!! :-)
