You cert...What a bountiful haul you made this time! You certainly have a gift for finding the most fantastic things, and in excellent condition, without costing a mint! <br /><br />I noticed Sunday at the first of the season Antique market, that prices have gone down to reasonable instead of inflated, but no where near the bargains that you are finding.<br /><br />And what a wonderful surprise on those gorgeous plates! Did you suspect that they were worth that much when you bought them? No mosiac material in their future!!<br /><br />Speaking of mosiacs, I've been meaning to tell you that I saw a round metal garden table that someone had used mosiac tiles to make a pumpkin for the top, and sad to say, they didn't do a very good job. The background was pure white, the tiles hadn't been cleaned after setting up, very well, and the tiles used to make the pumpkin were rather dull and boring. .as I was thinking of what you would do with the same idea, some women came up, ooohing and aaahing over it, asked me if I was going to buy it (nice of them to ask), and when I said no, they bought it! This was in a trendy little gift and antique shop.<br /><br />Another idea that someone came up with was to take antique wire egg baskets, and make mosiacs of chickens and roosters in round forms to fit in the bottoms of the baskets. They then hung them on the wall. I saw one of a rooster, and thought that would go so well with the roosters under your potting bench, with the wire form reflecting the texture of your bird cage.<br /><br />I'm thinking of projects for you, even when I'n not here. .as if you don't have enough to keep you busy already!Suziehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04050428036946794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-88732055226281936172010-04-26T17:55:02.297-07:002010-04-26T17:55:02.297-07:00Fantastic finds!!!

That's all I'm saying...<br /><br />It depends on the size, but I think they are necklaces that belong on satin ribbons. We used to do that (1,000 years ago) and put a little 'belt loop' on the back to thread the ribbon through. Now, if they're over 2", they could be ornaments or brooches...Sharlene T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08520928982756928527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-27519615431175602432010-04-26T15:15:05.968-07:002010-04-26T15:15:05.968-07:00Love the Green Man and that lovely mirror!Love the Green Man and that lovely mirror!Zabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214517476156951421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6991743430794325756.post-46973269020367312172010-04-26T14:50:31.880-07:002010-04-26T14:50:31.880-07:00If I found half those things and at those prices, ...If I found half those things and at those prices, I would think I was extremely lucky!!
