My New Thrift Loot

My Mom decided she wanted to decorate her house with a new look. Of course my first idea was to head to the local thrift store. I scored but she was not interested at all.. However, I did talk her into a couple of beautiful pictures of clipper ships.. of course she wants me to paint the frames. In spite of her lack of enthusiasm  I had a good day.

First I wanted to show you this vintage baby scale I found a few weeks ago.. isn't it the cutest? I bought it for my daughter who is a photographer.. she loved it!

I love the little graphics on it.

So back to this trip.. bunnies!

Cute for $1 .. 

and another $1.00 bunny.. I can never have too many

bunnies

Won't he be cute with an egg in his wagon?

Avon stamped on the bottom.

Now... for finer things

Haven't polished this yet but I can tell it will turn out beautiful.. Sheridan silver.. I had really wanted one of these. I got the boat and the tray for $5. Not bad.

There may be a spot or two that I will have to work hard on.. it seems more like tarnish since it came off on my hand, but I will still like it if it is worn some.

Now, saved the best for last.. I love this!

Can you tell what it is?

Do you know what it is yet?

Yet?

I love the detail.

A butter dish! Now I know it may not polish perfect.. I see some areas..but I think it is wonderful. I am so excited... my Mom not so much.. I will say she always likes my finds after they are cleaned and shined.. Mom, gotta get your hands dirty and dig for treasures. I know all you treasure hunters out there know what I mean.. I absolutely love the hunt.. I know you do too.. Thanks for stopping by. Oh yeah Mom ended up buying new stuff.. to each his own. I like my old stuff better.

Would love for you to leave me a note that you stopped in.. any information you might have about the butter dish I would love... It was not marked. 

Have a great weekend!

Whooo lots of parties and pretty things to see this weekend!
