Junk-o-tique Finds

Don't you love when you go junk-o-tiquing and you don't find what you are looking for...but you do find things you are not looking for.  That's what happened to me yesterday.  


 Totally not in the market for a hand stitched tablecloth but I LOVED this one!!!  What do y'all think?  It would be fun to use at a party....I can hear the maracas now:)


And these-a pair of....placemats. OOOOPS!  Totally thought these were hand towels/napkins of some sort.  Oh well, their not.  But I'm going to pretend they are because I loved the scalloped edges so much.  Jane, Lauren...Liza-good for our Novel. par-tay coming up??!!!



What about you?  Any good Junk-o-tique finds lately???

Junkotique Finds

So last weekend I went to Cola to visit mom and dad and while there, mom and I went junk-o-tiquing (not a word, I am aware, just love that my mom calls it this!)  I am such an impulsive buyer-a serious problem!  I know what I like, I see things that I like, so I get them-this is why I don't go shopping often!  The problem is I love the "thing" but have no where to put the "thing"-anyone else with me on this???  It's just hard to resist a cheap price at a junk store.  Big R is ready to put all my finds on the street because they are infringing on his garage space.....



The above table was found here in Mt. P and I saw it within 30 seconds of walking into the place.  It had my name written all over it!!! Look at the legs!!!   I will find a place for this-either on the new porch we don't have or the new playroom we don't have-Ha!  And yes, the above picture is taken in our junky and dirty garage that I want to change into an all white dreamland.


Pair of lamps-one with a harp, one without.  Needs some rewiring and shades, but I thought they were pretty cool.


 Broken piece on the bottom, can't get the harp off (semi problemo) and new shade/rewiring needed.  All of these "easy" fixes will probably double my price of what they originally cost-oh well.

And lastly, this is a planter or a trashcan.  Needs a little brass polish and then we'll be good to go.  What have you found lately?
