I Did Good Today !

18 years ago

Just wanted to share with you some 'finds' that I came across at a Local Flea Market. Once again... I was minding my Own Business, and They Grabbed me... I swear, I am innocent !!

These are two framed Prints, that I fell in love with...I just love these scenes.. They were $20 for the pair. (the frames are showing up as black..but they are actually a mahogany wood.

{{gwi:1432891}}sorry this one came out a little fuzzy..

{{gwi:1432892}}

This pattern looks familiar..it has a raised Holly Berry Design on it, which is not showing up. It's about 12 inches tall, and was only $2 (that's not a chip on the bottom, it's just a shadow)

{{gwi:1432894}}

This was only $3 and I am sooo happy I found this. Scroll down, and see that it matches my Tureen !! Yippie

Now These were a real Buy...All These Candles Were Only $3 !! Michael's was having a clearance on their summer candles. The large pillars were only 75 cents each, and the small onces were 45 cents each... !!

Hoped you enjoyed my bargains.

Betty, at the Flea Market, I saw the English Castle plates for $9 each, so what you saw the other day was a great buy.

    Slinkey, the two prints are splendid! I love that style too!

    I did not know that "sugar cookie" existed... I love perfumed candles and my preferred perfume is cinnamon.

    And last but not least, I fell in love with both your blue pitcher and soup bowl (don't know how to call them in English, lol).

    thank you prosperity..the 'soup bowl' is called a 'Soup Tureen' !! LOL
    I love scented candles too, and LOVE cinimmon. They just give the whole house such a warm and inviting feeling. I could't get over the price at Michaels. I wish they had more of a variety, but I should be lucky with what I got.

    WOW you did GREaaaaaat!! I have seen that raised holly pattern...give me a few days and I will remember the pattern...old age ya' know :^)
    The blue and white is a beauty...lucky to have a match there!
    Wait 'till Luvs sees those pictures....I bet she will "luv" them!

  • 18 years ago

    You did do well!
    The prints are lovely, and the pitchers too. And the one that matches your tureen, how great is that!
    Great job!

    Okay, I am coveting that first picture, just so sweet and I like the style. I also love the two pitchers you found, both good buys and so pretty. I was in our Michael's just the other day and didn't see the candle sale--those were really great prices on yours. Yes, I'd say you really did do good today! Luvs

    LOL..luvs, Too Late !! They are already hanging on the wall !! The candles were in the center isle in one of those metal racks they have.. maybe not all Michaels
    had them...so I guess I was lucky...

    Thanks Kathleen..yes finding a 'match', and for so little, was a real plus!

    jaybird...If you can 'rattle' your memory, I'd love to know what that pattern is. It's nagging at me.. LOL

    jaybird... hope this shot is good. White gets kind of 'fuzzy'
    up close. The Libby pattern does look like it tho.

    You really made a haul. Those prints are wonderful, and the mahogany is my favorite wood color. How fantastic to find that pitcher to match your tureen!!! I got Fall candles last year at Michaels sale, I should check now for these.

    hugs, Karen

    What great deals you found. I can not believe you got that pitcher for $3 AND it matches your tureen! I love the white picture too.
    That first framed print is my favorite. I would really love to have a fenced in kitchen garden. Wasculy wabbits and deer love all of my flowers and veggies.

    Thanks for the correction, Slinkey :) I'll remember the correct name. Here we call it a "soupière", lol.

  • 18 years ago

    Here's one that looks a lot like it too....

    I want to go shopping with you...you did great!
    With gas so high now unless the sale is very close I don't even bother...bet I'm missing out on some great finds...has anyone else cut back on tag sales?

  • 18 years ago

    Oh jaybird, I think you're on to something. They do look like acorns w/oak leaves. hmmmm
    Great Dectective Work ..Sherlock!! LOL

    Wow prosperity, I've got to remember that one 'soupiere'..
    makes plain ole soup sound real 'special' ...lol

    kathie..I do agree w/you..Everytime I go out, I try to plan on where else, I can go while I'm in the area. CT is one State that has the highest Gas prices in the nation. It certainly takes all the fun out of just the simple things. DH was talking to some man the other day, while waiting for me at the store...he told DH... I'm 79, and I always enjoy taking the wife out for a drive and something to eat once a week...now, I'm lucky if I can afford to take a walk around the block!! Sad but true.

    Terrific finds and bargains Jane! I LOVE that white pitcher! And I'm always a sucker for candles on sale - great haul!

    Yes, it is sad...Gas is down to under 4.00, now isn't that just wonderful!
    Of course, I know other countries pay more...I am getting very miserly with my driving!! Can you imagine what it will cost to heat the house?? We already keep it cold and wear sweaters in the winter!

    Oh, Kathleen, you're right! Here gasoline costs 6 euros ($8,88661) for a gallon of Eurosuper 95 (makes 1,50 euro/litre) ! Eurosuper 98 is more expensive. Diesel (fuel for car) I think it's $1.75/litre ($7.00 for a gallon) and fuel is +/- $1.25/litre ($8.20 for a gallon).

    Prices have decreased since July 1st!

    Fuel and gasoline are expensive but fortunately, I drive a Peugeot 106 - which my friends call "a peanut" and it does not cost me too much (10 gallons/month so 60 euros = $89).

    Obviously, there are many taxes on gas here so, the real price for gasoline should be the same as yours :-s

    I know what you are saying about trying to keep traveling down...Unfortunately, this past month, I've logged on a couple of hundred miles, back & forth for Dr Appointments in NY...I won't give up these Drs...however, the cost to see them is killing me!! As far as heating oil...just got my 'budget plan' for this year's oil delivery > they want $477 per month and that's on a budget. I will have to make up the difference if it goes over!! Yikes...get out the parkas and chop the firewood!!
