First is this pretty little dish with lavender flowers on it. It's small (hard to tell size in this photo!)I'm going to put it in my room for catching jewelry & loose change at the end of the day.
It was 50 cents!
In with the stacks of dishes, I found this round plate (in the back of the photo). You can see how it matches the pitcher & bowl that I had bought years ago at an estate sale! It was just 25 cents!
This really makes me want my butlers pantry.
Next I found a book for my oldest son. He is very into the fact that our house was built between 1760-1790, during the time of the American Revolution. I thought he'd enjoy this book filled with paintings from the time period. It didn't have a price on it (I HATE when things don't have prices at a sale), but judging by the cheap prices on everything else, I took a chance... and it was only 50 cents :)
She also had some free children's books & I picked up a Peter Pan book. It was in rough shape- but I thought maybe I'll eventually frame some of the pages as artwork. No photo of it though because my youngest quickly commandeered it to his room!
And finally, to my favorite finds of the day!
First, a set of two small enamel pots.
They have measurement markings inside.
They were just a $1 each.
These two basins are kind of beat up, but I still love them! I especially like the handles on the blue rimmed one. These were just $1 each too!
I'm envisioning these on the shelves in the future laundry room or linen closets holding washcloths & hand towels.

| "Rustic", right? ha ha! |
For now, I've put them on the wall going down the basement steps. It's down below the stairwell area that we've finished, so this is where you step back into the 1700's era... and I wasn't sure about sharing photos!
But what the heck, here's a peek --->
Can you believe I came home with all of that and I only spent $5.75!!! So much fun!
