I don’t remember the last time I went to a garage sale. Something about stepping onto someone else's property and scouring through their things has always made me feel uneasy.
Today I decided to step outside of my comfort zone (thrift stores) and go to a garage sale. I stopped at one sale with my BFF before the rain came down in torrential buckets. All I needed was this one sale because I found this beauty for $3.00! It’s huge!
My daughter picked me a small piece of lilac which I placed inside. I wish I could preserve the scent and it’s beauty forever.
Look at the detail on the mirrored pedestal.
I have to come up with something to display in here, something worthy of it’s beauty.
I am linking up to Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps on the Porch.
And it's almost Thursday which means I get to link up to the thrift party at Tales From Bloggeritaville.
Ughhhh lucky! Love it! Good find!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! I can't wait to see what you come up with to put inside.
ReplyDeleteOMG it's awesome! I have a really tall on that I put a vase with silk orchids in for our bedroom. I can't wait to see what you do with yours!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! What a great find! I haven't stepped out of my comfort zone yet...I prefer thrift stores myself. However, you've inspired me to take the next step! Keep us posted as to what you decide to display. Thanks so much for sharing!

That is such an awesome find! I can't wait to see all the ways you use it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting. The cricut is expensive but since I use it to make things to sell it seems a little more justifiable.
Have an awesome week!

What a great find! I love cloches but always have a hard time deciding what to put under them myself. It's wonderful that it came with the base, too.
