Rummage Sale Finds

A church near our old house has an annual Rummage Sale.  Even though we now live kinda far from it, I still try to get there because they have such neat stuff!  (The old trunk that we found at the 2012 sale is still hard at work in my oldest's room!)

Here are my finds...

A Pewter Pitcher
Mike requested that I keep my eye out for some pewter items, since it goes so well with the time period of our house.  (I love having something to legitimately search for!)

 It's about 6 inches high (here it is standing next to a 5x7 frame, for perspective)   --->

Right now it's on my foyer table, I think I'll put some fresh cut flowers in it.




Then there was this pair of pewter candlesticks...














I placed them both in the family room for now- one between the two new chairs, and one on the piano.  They might be moving to the dining room though.

It was the last night of the sale, so they were doing "buy one, get one free" in the dish/serving-ware room.
The candlesticks were marked at $10/pair, the pitcher at $6, so I got all three pieces for $10!

Then we found this little vase:

Look at how well it goes with my Victorian chocolate set!  

I'm trying to remember, but I think I got this set at the rummage sale 5-10 years ago!  My mom recently gave me the mustache cup that's in the center front, along with the milk pitcher on the left.  I think they all look rather nice together in my china cabinet.

That got paired (for BOGO) with this hanging tea light candleholder:

I've hung it from a hook in the kitchen window since the amber/brown color matches in there.  It will likely move outside for entertaining company on summer evenings.

That pairing cost $4.

The last item I found was this wrought iron candle holder- probably will be placed outside on a barn? The candle dish & chain is quite Gothic looking, but the hook could also hold a hanging flower pot.  The set was $8.

So, I spent a total of $22 and had a blast!  I'm already looking forward to next year!
