More vintage finds

Well.....the forecast called
for sunshine and 80 degrees today. What we got was rain and temps in the 60's. No day to be out on the boat.
So....I thought I'd show you more treasures from my vintage shopping trip with Pam.
This beautiful dish has a French stamp on the bottom...and a price tag of just $3.00!
I knew exactly what I would do with it. I filled it with some of the shells I received from Debbie at Love of the Sea.  Debbie was kind enough to send them to me all the way from Sanibel Island in Florida. They are a wonderful reminder of our planned trip to Sanibel in March with  my sweet sis, Laurie from Heaven's Walk.
Wasn't that the most thoughtful thing for Debbie to do?!  I am in awe of the people I've met while blogging.

 
Another treasure is this seltzer bottle. I've never seen one like this!  What a surprise when found it at one of the vintage shops we visited Saturday!  It looks nice with the French dish; and the French runner found at the flea market that Laurie and I went to.
The little wire basket was a Hobby Lobby find. You can't have too many of those.
There are still more wonderful pieces from my shopping trips...they will be shared in the next few posts.
Hope you are enjoying your day.
Thank you for stopping by, and leaving your encouraging comments. I appreciate all of you more than ever.
Hugs,
Debbie

  3. Well, Debbie...I'd say you hit the motherlode last time you went "shopping". I love that round casserole-I would think that's pretty rare!

    Now...please quit talking about you and Laurie's trip to Sanibel that is coming up...you know how I am....you know I might cry and try to follow you there in the Pearl...that would serve you right!

    I can't wait to see what other things you found...so far..so good! Love 'em all! Diana

  6. Love how you displayed the shells..such a pretty little dish. I have a small seltzer bottle collection going so I am always interested in seeing different kinds - I really like this one. It's hard to tell from the photo - but yours looks like it is metal with stamping on it. Very interesting looking!!

  12. Hi Debbie
    I just love your French dish! So perfect for the shells that Debbie sent you! And the seltzer bottle is so cool! Love, love, love the runner that you placed everything on! So French, and tres chic! How nice that you get to go to Sanibel with Laurie this winter! Our weather was goofy here today, too! It was supposed to be 84, instead it was in the 60's! But I liked it :)

  14. Debbie, did you get a chance to go to any garage sales in Houghton Lake over the holiday? We went to a few at Higgins. The weather was pretty lousy, but we had a chance to build a fire in the fireplace!
