Those giant wings will be a great decoration during Christmas time. How about those frames? They had cracked mirrors so for safety reasons they've already been tossed. They could become a mirror again or chalkboard. We'll just have to wait and see. That pretty circle thingy (doesn't everyone know what that is). I can see it hanging above my daughter's bed with fabric draped down. I really don't know what I will do with the pot rack. Any ideas would be very welcome. Needless to say, I was pretty happy and enjoyed the hour drive back home listening to my music not Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.
Also, when at the flea market I found a box of silver under one of the vendor's tables. He said I could have it all for $5. I didn't hesitate. I snatched it up. The pieces were quite dirty and tarnished. I cleaned the initial dirt off and started to clean the smaller pieces before I took the picture. They are stamped Sheridan on the bottom with crests.
I'm hoping to post what I did with these items throughout the week. I already have too much stuff in my closet waiting for me. While ideas are fresh and new, I will get started on this stuff first.

I love all your finds! Those mirror frames are unbelievable! Have you ever looked at estatesales.net I get a weekly update on estate sales in my area with pictures. They are nationwide, my sister who lives in Washington is now hooked on estate sale shopping now that I gave her my secret :) I like it because I can view what they have before I decide if I want to drive all the way there.
ReplyDeleteAlso, what did you use to clean the beautiful silver? I need to clean some pieces badly and I haven't found a good cleaner to get all the grime off of them.
Thanks! Stephanie
You made some great finds. I love the mirror frames. I have a few that I am trying to decide what to do with. Thanks for sharing all of your goodies.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many great goods there. The frames are beautiful and so is the silver. I can't believe how nicely it cleaned up.

WOW! WHAT awesome awesome goodies! Great thrifting! happy I stopped by from southern hospitality!
ReplyDeleteYou found some great buys...I would use the pot rack above the bed, paint it white, take the hooks off and have the material flowing down each side of the bed. The silver was a fabulous deal.
ReplyDeleteWhat neat treasures you found...love those frames and that pot rack! That box of silver was also a very NIFTY THRIFTY FIND!!!

LOVE your finds, especially the wings and the frames. That pot rack would be on my patio with plants hanging from it in a heartbeat.
