We had a lot of bad storms rolling through here on Wednesday night. With three tarps on the roof, the ceiling still leaked. The insurance adjuster and the roofer are supposed to come by this morning.
Cathy and I went thrifting last week. I texted jamie some pictures of items, but I have exchanged my phone, and I don’t have all of the pictures.
Jamie has a booth at the Tennessee Antique Mall in Nashville, so I thought she might like this vintage shelf to display items. She said “yes” but she actually wants to use it in her own home for now.
I fell in love with this sweet little globe. I don’t think I’ll be painting this one with chalkboard paint like I did the other one.
On Saturday during the Mint Julep June Jaunt I only bought one thing at Peddler’s. This was the largest Peddler’s Mall I had ever been to, but I was so busy chatting with my new friends that I didn’t get much shopping done.
This is what I bought there. 1 new lampshade. CHEAP!!! .99 cents!
The Salvation Army we went to had a building supplies area in the back of the store. I bought these finials for .69 cents each. I also bout a window, but I haven’t taken a picture of it yet. It’s nothing special. One pane, with frosted glass. I’m sure I’ll do something with my Silhouette on it.
After I dragged Cathy all over southern Indiana and Louisville, I made her stop at the American Council of the Blind on the way home from the Jaunt. They generally have 50% off on weekends. I didn’t find anything. Cathy bought a really nice wrought iron sort of hanging planter. Do you know what is located right above the ACB? A Peddler’s mall! What do you think I picked up?
Yup, this beauty is now mine! 
Under my $5.00 limit! I’m not sure what I will do with it, but I love the curves!
I will definitely be going back to those stores we went to on the jaunt! Lots of good stuff. Jan… you ready to go? 
What have ya’ll found lately?
Don’t forget about the awesome Silhouette promotion going on this week!

I hope you get the roof repaired soon. I hate leaky roofs.
Love your finds. It sounds like such fun. I have no new finds right now but at some point I will go to my basement and declutter and I bet there are some gems down there for me to work on! Dianntha
Much better to do something fun rather than stay home and watch the ceiling drip! Hope your repairs happen soon!
great finds!
I think that teapot is begging to become a lamp!
Fun finds Gail! I was thinking of you yesterday because we got some major rain storms and wind in and I knew it was coming form your neck of the woods. It is pouring again today.
I love love love that shelf! I'm so jealous of your "real" daughter. Btw...the globe is fabulous and I loved the chalkboard one too. Ugh... I need a booth somewhere too. Ugh..I sound whiney.
Cheers~

I sure hope you get your roof and all the storm damage repaired soon, and without any red tape! You found some great treasures. Love that coffee pot and the globe!
I've had enough of the storms too. Hope your roof is fixed soon! Love your finds!

I so love that coffee pot that I would simply put it on display as is! :)
I have found that I have to stay away from the second hand stores. I bring things home with good intentions... and that's where it ends.
I hope the roof gets fixed quickly and correctly SOON!
Blessings
Those are some great finds. I like the teapot it does have good curves. Great price on the lamp shade. I hated to hear about you house.......hope all is well now. Hugs Trish
I mosaiced a teapot like that once! Very cute!

Hugs from the finally sunny east coast,

Love that globe! You found some nice things!!
Do you remember that song that goes something like "you will be mine, you will be mine, you will be mine, all mine?"
That you and the coffee pot! I'm glad it was still there!
