My Saturday Treasures :) (LONG POST)

What an awesome treasure hunting day....hubby didn't get home from Masonic activities until almost 2pm and we almost decided that it was TOO late to go to some of our favorite Antique and consignment shops but we went anyway and am I ever glad we did! I found some REALLY great bargains today and I couldn't be more thrilled! I will have to share them here as I don't have my home blog anymore (sorry folks...too much to keep up with and I know many of you have emailed me about missing it-so maybe you will enjoy this post)-a lot of it is needlework related anyway :)

I think this was one of the best deals of the day....
I LOVE anything to do with birds/birdhouses and have quite the collection in my home. My den has birdhouses in it and my master bath and bedroom is all Bird related as well so this quilt and lap quilts fit right in. Hubby did some bargaining for me and was able to get the full size quilt and 2 lap quilts and pillow sham for $30.00. You better believe they were coming home with me :) I just have it spread out on the bed to take a pic-I still have my shams from my other quilt on the pillows right now.

To show the 2 lap quilts :)


Next up was another WONDERFUL find that I could not pass up...look at this beauty! The Treadle sewing machine stand with a vanity added to the top-this piece is absolutely gorgeous and was marked down 3 times from the original price and hubby talked them down another 10% :) All the items you see pictured with it were purchased today as well :)


I don't usually buy needlework when I am on treasure hunts, but today I bought a few pieces....this framed piece, (I need to clean the glass as you can still see where the sticker was)you should see it up close-it's amazing with the different techniques used throughout- is so different it was 5 dollars...the frame is worth more than that! Also some other goodies I found today as well pictured with it.



I love the unique sewing box...it also came with the threads and look at these vintage scissors. I tell ya I was like a kid at Christmas!! (You will notice an oil can in two of the pics...I found 2 more today.... one for a friend and another spare to use with Country Stitches bird)



This sewing basket also came home with me! Another lady spotted it after I did and wanted it-but I had already paid for it :)
I had to get the Beehive honey pot as well :)

This shelf is SOOOOOO cool and I plan to take the patchwork out of it and add one of my stitched pieces...it will more than likely get a paint job as well. And, I bet you stitchers know what I plan to do with the other item in this pic :)

These are two more needlework items I could not pass up. They are both just adorable.

Another needlework piece...this box is gorgeous and stitched over 1.
I also got the crocheted doily under it :)


And you can't tell in the other photo-but this Green Tiara candy dish has bees and beehives all over it-it was the first thing I spotted today. It makes my heart sing :) :) :)



WOW, if you are still with me, thanks for reading and stopping by :) I appreciate your visits so much :)
I owe a few emails to several people, but I think I am going to go stitch awhile tonight as my stitching time has been so very limited for 2 weeks :) and will reply tomorrow and try to visit blogs as well :)
Hugs to you all and enjoy the simple things :) And remember you have a friend in SC that loves ya!!
