Great finds. You came home with some goodies. I love that tin. The colors are so pretty. Glad you got to relax later on. You look so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteCool cane chairs! Hope you're having a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteThat's what I need to do, R&R but I can't. Have to prepare for another trip. Anyway, I love what you bought. Looks like the antique shop has really good buys. That sofa is so pretty and reasonably priced too!...Christine

ReplyDeleteGreat finds! I would love to have some great vintage malls like that where we live... of course a boat ride always is tops!

The lamp is gorgeous! I love antiquing and thrifting but those days are far and few between.

My girls left for camp today - double sniff! Love your finds - that birdcage is awesome! I just found one myself - but it's very different from yours - German acrylic and orange!
ReplyDeleteHave fun relaxing!

Hope you will show us what you do with the bird cage. Some interesting finds today!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I have that same birdcage! Had it now for over twenty years! I bought it at a garage sale in Colorado for 0.50 cents!!! Actually, I just painted it not long ago, first I thought I would use it in my craft room, but now I think I will put it in my back porch when is finished. Great post!
