The last couple of weeks I have had some good luck at estate sales and last Saturday at the flea market.
Isn't this a beautiful piece of embroidery? It will make a gorgeous pillow.
This is a brooch I found. It is so cute. The little locket at the bottom opens up to put a picture in.
YEA!! More butter pats. I shutter to think how many I actually have. I know - I just won't count them and then I won't feel so bad. I won't actually know how many I have. LOL
Some cream colored pieces.
A nice silver tray and two vintage tablecloths.
Enjoy!

Butter pats! I know I have seen some of these in the thrift stores but I didn't know what they were. Now I really want to find some! I guess I thought they were little saucers. Great finds my friend. Happy New year!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane! I don't even know what got me started on butter pats but for some reason, when I see them, I just have to have them. At least they are small and don't take up a lot of room. LOL
DeleteJudy
I never see butter pats at a good price but you seem to find them often. Of course now I'm downsizing and decluttering so no buying for awhile!
ReplyDeleteI don't buy them unless they are at a good price. Usually, if there is a bunch like this, I ask them what they will take for the whole lot. Sometimes it's a good deal and sometimes it's not.

You do have good luck, Judy, when you go thrifting. Don't bother counting those butter pats- what you don't know can't bother you. lol I have a few that belonged to John's grandmother. She always used them for holding her used tea bags...lol....so I always assumed that is what they were for until I saw an article on them years ago. Live and learn.
ReplyDeleteHappiest of New Years to you, Judy. xo Diana
Thanks for visiting Diana. I just decided not to even count them and just wonder how many I have. LOL
DeleteHappy New Year to you and yours.
Judy
So many new and wonderful treasures to start the new year out. I love butter pats and feel you can never have too many!!!! Happy New Year.

Always good finds Judy, love seeing what you discover in your area. If I didn't say Happy 2017 yesterday I will certainly wish you the very best in 2017. Hugs.

I always fell a sense of relief when the Flea Market opens back up!! LOL It's like, what do I do on Saturday mornings when it's closed. Hoping you have a very blessed 2017.
DeleteJudy
At least your beautiful butter pats are small and do not take up much room. I guess with everyone purging in January it is a good time to pick up some goodies.
ReplyDeleteThanks Ann. This bunch was from a guy who was cleaning out his Mom's house and had no idea what they were.
DeleteHappy New Year!
Judy
I just lost my comment...:(
ReplyDeletelove your finds...
have a blessed new year.
Hope you and your family have a very prosperous and blessed 2017. I can hardly believe it is already another year gone by. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteJudy
More great finds! I have that exact same piece of embroidery. It came in a set of three, one for each arm and also a head rest. Great minds think alike ;-)
ReplyDeleteBig Texas Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I got a set of two - the ones for the arms. The embroidery is unbelievable!!
DeleteIt's really cold up here and suppose to get colder all week. Darn Artic front!
Judy
You such a good eye for beautiful things, Judy!
ReplyDeletePaula - Thank you! My Mother had a wonderful eye for dishes and I always thought she had way too many. Now - not so much!! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting.
Judy
HAPPY NEW YEAR, Judy!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been out treasure hunting, yet, in the new year! Nice finds. I hope we find many treasures this year at awesome prices!
warmly,
deb
Hi Deb! I haven't been out much since the new year either. We probably won't have many garage sales now that cooler weather has moved in. But, there will still be lots of estate sales and the Saturday flea market.
DeleteHappy New Year to you and your family!
Judy
I love it when we have a good day out hunting and finding treasure.
ReplyDeleteI use to have lots butter pats also,I found a flo blue one last week
and it keep it out of my yard sales
I have several flo blue ones and just will never part with them either. Have a great week ahead!
DeleteJudy
Such beautiful finds! I love the embroidery too! What do you do with all your treasures?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am blessed to have a huge workroom in my new home which houses most of my goodies! I use all of the vintage fabrics and laces to make pillows for my Etsy shop. I keep buying dishes saying that I am going to start selling them on Etsy but can't seem to let go of them. LOL
DeleteThanks for visiting.
