Guess I'll start this off for today. Not much to share.

Found the carrot plate, the braided ring and the glass plate at TS. Got the little blue plate at Homegoods for only $1.

Thought the carrot plate would be good with a bunny vignette, and the ring and blue plate for a sea scape one. We'll see.

    Good finds, Luvs. I love the seagull plate and I have never seen a braided wreath like that, would make a good wreath with shells. I have the same glass candy dish. I think we bought them for mom when we were kids in Woolworths!

    Luvs, you got some neat stuff. That carrot plate is perfect for a bunny vignette. And even tho I'm not into seaside decor, love the gull plate too.

    Here's my goodies.
    All my stuff from the Antique Mall.
    Large amber rooster bottle, that I will probably use in garden as a totem topper with those ruffly amber bowls I found recently at GW. The small lead crystal rooster is so pretty I think. I have some small lead crystal vases in my kitchen window sill, and will put him there too. Love the light hitting the crystal.

    I have wanted this particular Rooster for a long time, just didn't want pay eBay shipping on one as they cost around $25 each to begin with. Then saw him at the antique mall. He's by Westland from their country kitchen roosters collection, called Poultry in Motion. They are a hoot I think. He's called "Fruit Cocktail".

    This rooster is about 10" high and made of resin. He looked kinda of sad and dull, so I sprayed him with a gloss sealer and it really perked up his colors. The little salt-pepper shakers are china.

    I was totally thrilled to find these two little rabbits. The carousel one is china but the little one is handcarved from wood. The guy who made it carved his name on the bottom and date 1984. This rabbit is about 2" high and 3" long. Only cost $2.50 which I was surprised at antique store.

    And I was downright ecstatic to find these four Bordallo rabbit cups and saucers for only $12. The green ones go with the platter, sugar and creamer, that I found in Mar. at Home Goods. As for the PINK.....what can I say??? My first pink purchase. LOL.

    and finally, Floor candle holder, not sure if it'll stay in or go outside for GJ stuff. Might get painted another color. I have no idea what I'm doing with it yet.

    Happy Memorial Day to Everyone.

    Karen, you found some wonderful things. I LOVE that carousel bunny, very unique. I bet you were happy to find those dishes!!! You never know when you will find them!
    I haven't been shopping, but if I could go I would go here to get some goodies. (I am practicing what you taught me!)

    Here is a link that might be useful: Christmas Tree Shops

    Karen, I love all your treasures! You know I especially love the bunnies and roosters. Hey, if you had a tablecloth with pink and green in it, you could mix and match your new cups. That was a good deal. Love the candle holder stand too. Would be nice on the porch with a plant (silk, of course)in it. In your heat, a candle would melt wouldn't it? I know my votives on my back patio table melted last summer, and they are shaded. Good finds, and glad you were able to go shop. Luvs

    Way to Go, Kathleen!!! Wish they had that shop here. I really like the designs painted on the patriotic wood stars on the first page of the flyer. Nicely done!

    Yes Luvs, thinking about using candleholder as plant stand.
    Tho small front patio and also the back one pretty full of my GJ crap, errr stuff, already.

    Ooohh...I love Christmas Tree Shops!!! I used to have one when I lived in MA, but none down here in PA.

    I just noticed on your link that they're opening on in Wilmington, DE, which is close enough for me!

    Yay!

    Luvs, I love your carrot plate. That is just so cute. And I really like the blue plate. I've never seen a braided ring like that either. That's very interesting. You found some really cute stuff.

    KAREN BOUGHT PINK!!! We knew you'd come over from the dark side! LOL I love your roosters and Bordallo, but I think my favs are the 2 little rabbits. They are just precious. And I really like your candle stand also. That was a great price on the Bordallo.

    Thanks to Kathleen I've been drooling over the goodies at Christmas Tree Shops also. None anywhere near me which is probably a good thing. ;~)
