Trash & Treasure Monday.

Welcome everyone to my favorite new start to the week! 


This weekend I really wasn't expecting too much as far as good finds go, what with a holiday right around the corner. And boy was I wrong, this was one of the busiest weekends Ive seen in a while. As always I have to start with the best, yes I some how managed to find another bee item. This one is the honey pot that matches the creamer I found last week. Maybe next week I will find the sugar dish!


I don't know if I am the only person who adores these, but I managed to find a really old silhouette piece, and its in really great shape. 


I was really excited to find two new packages of burlap material just begging to be used. 


I found this sweet little hand painted "Apple of my Eye" sign at an Estate sale in Lakeland, and thought it will look perfect in our kitchen. 


And I couldn't help but fall in love with this charming plaque. 


Meet Nancy, who just happens to be my find of the week! I have been looking for one of these babies for so long now that I was in shock when I saw her sitting there amongst a mish-mosh of items. Who couldn't love her? Certainly not me!


This is the SWEETEST little vintage apron I dug out from the bottom of a cloths box with my mom at a Flea market on Sunday. Special thanks to Nancy for modeling this for us. ;)


Amongst a few smaller items I discovered this adorable coat rack.


an old coal burner for a steal.


and last, this sweet little hutch that is in dire need of some new paint and some much deserved TLC. 


All in all its been a wonderful start to a new week! I hope that everyone has a wonderful Holiday!

  1. Victoria, Such good finds this week! I love that coal burner, if you need some coal I have loads of it in my backyard. Our house has 8 coal burning fireplaces and they must have kept a pile in the backyard, my kids are always finding it. I can't believe you found the honey pot to match your creamer. Have a great week! Kathy

  3. Victoria,

    You are the MVP in treasure hunting! Like Kathy, I am amazed you found the matching honey pot! I adore "Nancy" and her yellow stripes (like a bee!)
    Looking forward to see what you will create with the new burlap fabric you scored.

    Your Friend,
    Deborah

    I, too, found a Nancy, last Fall! I couldn't believe my eyes, either!
    What a haul you got!
    If you find the sugar dish next week, wouldn't you just faint?!!?
    Blessings to you as you make your home!!
