Oh I've Just Been Diddlin' Around and Puttin' Out My Recent Finds....

 What've you been up to? Have you found any good treasures while out on your junkin' adventures? Well, I sure found me some goodies...... I  found this wicker basket at a yard sale for 50 cents, and this small old table cloth for 25 cents....it makes a nice soft homey place for my birdie...don't you think?  
 I nestled it here on my old ladder back chair that sits beside the window....and

 I was thrilled to find this tin bucket for a buck at a recent store closing sale ....this bucket makes a perfect home for the hydrangeas that I picked at Michaels half price (since mine outside have yet to bloom ....I'm still looking forward to that), along with the little crowned birdie....Less than $15.00 for the whole arrangement here! I just set the hydrangeas one by one in the bucket...I wanted it to seem as if I freshly picked them from my bushes and brought them inside.....a girl can dream until my hydrangea bush blooms outside right?!

 This cute little Teapot is a Thomas Kinkade and I found it at Goodwill for only $2.99!  I have always been a fan of and loved Thomas Kinkade's Art because of  the quaint and picturesque cottages and scenes that he so beautifully paints. So of course I was thrilled to bring this home!
 The tiny terra cotta pots were found at a roadside sale and I had to grab those up for 10 cents each....I'll be using them for a decorating vignette sometime I'm sure....and the mini flags are some I picked up for a quarter each at another of my favorite thrift stores.  Oh, I almost forgot....I also found the little glass bell cloche for 50 cents at a yard sale...see it down below with the cupcake under it?
 Sure couldn't resist this little pumpkin stage coach at a garage sale.....
 It came with horses and the "happy (I think) couple"....by the looks on their faces... I'm not so sure.... maybe they are just a little camera shy....oh, that's probably all it is......
 Nontheless, I was thrilled to take it home and you will not believe it,  but it was only marked 25 cents for all of it!! I ran, "not walked" away with it!! You know you would have too lol!  :) So what if the horses won't stand up on their own...I did a pretty good job of propping them up.

And last but not least..... more teacups to add to my growing collection....Isn't this little tower of Teacups too cute? This tower of Teacups under the glass dome cloche idea is not one of my own though...I must give full credit where credit is due....I got the idea from Bella's Rose Cottage. I love her blog and I would like to thank her for sharing such a sweet idea...I'm lovin' my little teacups showcased under the glass dome. 

Well, garage sale season is in full swing for sure now.... hoping there will be a lot of sales this weekend.....it's a hot one down here in the south today....supposed to have heat index in the triple digits....maybe we'll cool down some before the weekend....fingers crossed but I don't think it's happenin' 

Thanks for stopping by....have a happy day everybody!

I'll be linking up with Wow Us WednesdayVintage Thingy Thursday, Thrifty Thursday, Time Travel Thursday  I'm posting a little early, but be sure to visit these lovely  blogs to see more bloggin' linky party fun on Thursday.

Big hugs,
Queenie

Such lovely finds. I especially love the carriage and couple. It reminds me of a special birthday cake I had in the 2nd grade. The stacked teacups are pure genius. Just beautiful.
