FINDING TREASURES

I have to tell you we have stayed focused lately and we are pretty tired of work - work and more work for the last month.  You know moving is a horrific job so it was time for a few breaks.  Last Tuesday we had to drive toward Kansas City, Missouri area to buy a new lawn mower so we stopped at Grain Valley and went to the Brass Armadillo Antique Mall. 

 I found a few treasures there such as the lovely
 set of English rosebud plates 8 for $20.00 (seen above
with pieces I already had)



 I found a sweet little teapot like the bigger
 "Friendship" one given to me by my friend Kathilee! 
 I'm wondering if they made one for the little 
blonde too?  I will
sure be looking won't I!


  I also found a cookie plate (the one at the top) and a lovely old tin with handles.  Later in the week we went to a church yard sale where I found the darling glass basket vase.


Love the tin:


Here is the basket from the church sale:

    Hello Bernideen,
    You found some very pretty things on your outing. I do love your teapots. I know some ladies really like teacups and so do I but there is just something about a teapot that warms my heart. Your home is looking charming and very cozy. I know you are tired but aren't you having fun displaying all your treasures? I enjoyed reading your post and thank you for sharing and hosting. Have a beautiful day.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

    Hi Bernideen, I understand you must be busy with moving and getting settled.
    I didn't blog last week I was very busy with housecleaning and visitors.
    You found some lovely treasures especially the teapots.
    Have a great week.

    I know exactly what you mean about work, work, work, lol. I am on the same boat and I am exhausted, but next week, I will literally be on a boat, sailing on the Mediterranean. I will relax then. Wow! I love your new treasures especially the plates and so nice that you already had the same pattern in the tea set.....Christine

    Hi Bernideen,
    So glad you had a break and found more treasures when exploring. Everything looks so lovely in your new home and oh those Sadler rosebud teapots are beautiful. I just adore Sadler teapots and I keep seeing vintage ones that I have never seen before. Thank you for hosting BTTCG. I am not sure whether the weather will be nice enough on Friday for Tea in the Garden but I will try my best. Have a Wonderful Week! Karen
