Trash to Treasures



                                       Is there a specific piece that you look for.....


                                               Are you a collector......

                                      Does colour matter..........

        Well I'm the kind of gal that is spontaneous ........If I see a bowl and like it's colour.....
                                   I take it home.....does $$$$ matter.........

                                             Of course it does.......







                               So when I came across this pudding bowl at a yard sale and
                           the lady says .25 cents .....would you  linger and hummm and haaa...
                                   no....you would pay her promptly.....and wonder wow!!!! deal
                                              of the day!!!!!






                                       Then I spot this outdoor carpet laying there under a tree.....
                                           no price.....hmmmm and haaaa.....the nice person says it's
                                               yours for $2.00 sold.......roll it up and take it.....
                                                      Know it will look great on my upper deck ...

                                       carry on farther down the road and come across another yard sale....
                                                 this bowl sings to me......love the colour......

 


                                              This person knows it's an antique......$5.00 sold........
                                                     then I see a container of marbles....allies....
                                                      .25 cents ....sold....thought I would use them




                                                          someday....or just show my grands how we played
                                                                 with them.....not electronic games like now.....

                                                         Then we are off to Lakefield fairgrounds to the annual
                                                                           Antique show and sale.....

                                                                       Bought these two shaving mugs....
                                                                         both from different vendors.......
                                                                            The blue one was $1.00
                                                                              the green was $2.00....




                                                       I'm crazy over trasnsferware.........

                                               Then from afar I spotted her.......knowing that she was
                                                               maybe 19 years old not an antique.....
                                                                            but a collectible item.....

                                                                       can you guess????









                                                No I don't collect Barbies....but she will make
                                                              someone happy.....
                                                   The price on the box when new $54.00
                                                         It still had the sticker in contact.....
                                                                          Zellers.....






                                                                 I paid $15.00.......

                                                  Started out at $25.00 then down to $15.00

                                                                 Couldn't go wrong......

                                                   Oh yes and this cute red pick up truck
                                                       $7.00.....Mr.WWH couldn't make
                                                                       it for that price.....

                                                               You will have to wait to see
                                                                          it.....already full of
                                                                ..............................................
