great little treasures...

Sometimes the thrifting angels whisper & you just need to follow their lead...
I was so pleasantly surprised to find these lovely pieces while pottering about some op shops this week...
gorgeous garden stool & chocolate tin...

a sweet little woolen cardi with velvet & crochet trim...

and this DKNY shower curtain!
Though why someone would use cotton on a shower seems a little odd to me.  I'm going to put this very pretty double sided fabric to some good use elsewhere...

    I love the stool!!! I have a similar table but it is in desperate need of restoration. Have been looking for a complete set for years.
    Great finds yet again Mel.

    They use it becuase they can! I love the cardi. It's so purty!I want one just like it. I have had my eye on garden furniture just like your stool for years, but I always just miss out. Vey frustrating.

    the tin looks nice. i'm always on the haunt for tins but they have to be hinged ... for some reason. i don't know why.
    lovely finds this week.
