Was it worth getting out of bed?

Was it worth getting out of bed to go to the market bright and early Sunday morning???? Well...YES!!! There were lots of beautiful treasures that I could have picked up but I just had to stop myself when possible as our house seems to be getting smaller by the minute! Although I was a good girl there was one thing I just couldn't say NO too...



This sweet chandelier candelabra was calling my name as soon as the lady popped it out on the table.



Old tarnished silver metal arms...



A sweet little crystal ball to the very top...



And sparkling vintage crystals...



Look at the pretty china I picked up as well...



Pink roses & blue birds...



I don't think it gets any better than these pretty plates!



I'm hoping to get some mosaics done this week and I may even use these pretty plates to inspire me!

  4. Hi Siobhan, what great finds! Love them both! Yes, sometimes I too wonder whether to get up early to go to the garage sales as alot of times they are downers, but then I wonder what I could be missing out on if I don't! take care, Maryann
