I've been treasure hunting since April, but I haven't shared any of my fun yet this year.
I thought it was time to update with a few of my favorite finds:
Enjoy!
I love my fake candles and I'm always adding to my collection. These were .25 each.
The artificial peony we found for .50 - it even has faux water! 😍
Milk Glass Saucers
These gold embellished tiny plates were .25 each.
Artificial Ivy
I found this hanging ivy plant for $1 and after removing the ropes, I stuck it on the porch as an outdoor plant.

GIANT Candles
Ok, so I was just talking about my faux candle collection, right? I could not pass up these huge fake candles for $3!
I'll admit, I have no idea what I'm going to do with them, but they make me unreasonably happy 😁
Check out the inset, I didn't think the photo really showed the size of the candles, so I added in a shot for reference. Yes, that is a standard sized tea pot. 😆😌
Vintage Pyrex & Jadeite
Score, score, score!
Not only did I finally find some pretty patterned vintage Pyrex mixing bowels (.50 each) but I also finally found some Jadeite!
Since Jadeite is harder to find and more valuable, I went ahead and splurged at $25 for the two of these pieces. I know, I know, to most people $25 isn't all that much. But I'm used to dealing in quarters and dollars when I treasure hunt, so this was a 'big' purchase for me 😎
Milk Glass Treasure Trove
I was treasure hunting with my Grandma when we found a sale that had a table full of milk glass. There were only a few pieces that I was interested in (about $8 dollars worth), but the lady who was selling it said that I could take the entire lot for $10.
Of course I had to take that deal! Not only did I get the pieces that I was interested in, but I'm re-selling the rest for $40. That breaks down to a profit of $30 in addition to growing my collection. Success 😘

I'm off now to check the listings for this weeks sales - I hope you enjoyed this treasure hunting post, thanks for stopping by!
