Treasure Hunting! (Spring 2015)

With cold rainy weather, the Easter/ Mother's Day holidays and even a local marathon, treasure hunting has gotten off to a bit of a slow start this year.  So far Baby Girl and I have only been able to visit about three garage sales each weekend, but we have still been able to find a few treasures.  Take a look at these pics:

Milk Glass Vase

I almost passed this little vase right up.  Usually I prefer to collect clear glass vases, but when I saw that this one was milk glass I decided to buy it.  It was only $1 and I realized that it would look great with the rest of my collection!

'Fine China' for the Play Kitchen

We found this little ceramic plate at the same sale that had the milk glass vase.  Baby Girl thought it would be fun to collect some 'fine China' for her play kitchen.  Since it was only .25 I agreed.  Besides, It's an adorable miniature plate!

In fact, it looked really good as a jewelry holder next to the (real) kitchen sink, but I was honorable and put it with the play dishes ;)

Mermaid Ornament

I found this mermaid for .25 in a bin of Christmas ornaments.  I have this idea in my head that one day I will have a bathroom decorated in mermaids.  I thought this lovely lady would make a great start for a collection...until Baby Girl saw her...this little mermaid no longer belongs to me! :D

 Pears

I have a few miniature pears that I put out in the fall, but nothing like these.  These pears are large, heavy and look/ feel very real.  I like the way they are weighted as they can stand up nicely on their own.  These were .50 and I added them into my summer decor.

 Lemons & Grapes

This was another play kitchen find for Baby Girl.  At only .05 total, these made a cute addition to her play set.

 White Geranium

This adorable little faux geranium was also .50.  I thought it looked nice and summery, so I left it in the kitchen for now.  It looks really cute with my summer strawberries nearby.

(Summer update photos will be coming soon)

Peaches

I found these peaches at the same sale as the pears.  They were also .50 (for all of them) and are so realistic.  Like the pears these are also weighted nicely and include just a touch of peach fuzz.  These are my favorite find so far, as I have never before seen a faux peach!

(The milk glass pedestal bowl is an old treasure hunting find.

If you have been keeping track - that's $3.05 so far - a great start to the season!

I hope you enjoyed this treasure hunting update, thanks for stopping by!
