treasures!

it's been a great week for garage sales, free samples in the mail and salvation army shopping! i couldn't turn down the shabby chic purse bank above... nor the water pitcher next to it. life's way to short... i'll be using the pitcher for tea or maybe a vase!


i sure do enjoy receiving free samples in the mail! i have lots of links on my sidebar that keep me informed. all which are legit and not a scam. i was shocked when i opened the manila mail envelope to find a full size bottle of aveeno lotion!

i might of paid too much for this "fiddler on the roof" musical turn-around piece... $5. but, it is an antique and fiddler on the roof is one of my top two movies of all time. plus, it works! i adore this mini basket flower holder... i found it for a dollar.
oh! if these little treasures could talk... i'd ask them where they came from? who owned them? and were they used a lot? i always have visions of a sweet, old farm lady... who enjoyed them with passion.
smile, wink, nod!

I love that little Pin Money bank. I have found a couple of those myself, each decorated a little differently. Very cute!
