Don't you get excited when a package comes in the mail. I do!!!!! I have a very special friend that lives half way across the country, and she is so sweet to always think of me when she sees something that she thinks I would like. Well a package came in the mail this week from her and I was squealing with delight.
Look at this tiny little silver goblet filled with the most precious little nest and egg. It is so perfect with my island vignette and next to my little lamb.
How precious is this!!!! I love this lady so much and she is such a dear friend and one of the most thoughtful people in the whole world.
I also made a trip to GW this week and I think I need an intervention. I just can't pass up a pretty tray. This gorgeous one is so detailed and for $4 it was a real steal.
Look at those pretty feet. A footed tray is always so elegant looking.
This little tankard also caught my attention. Such a pretty handle. This lovely piece was only $3.
I was thrilled when I saw this wonderful frenchy tin. Love the rusty color and all that patina, fabulous. The scalloped design on the top is gorgeous. Can't you just see a bunch of sunflowers or lilacs spilling out. $4 is a real bargain I think.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits.
Marty, that little silver egg cup is so adorable! What a lovely gift! And that silver tray with the feet...Oh, I am swooning over that! Great finds!
ReplyDeleteThat little nest cup is wonderful! Love that bucket you found at GW too!
ReplyDeleteThe little cup that says "nest" is darling!!! So many great finds!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful afternoon.

ReplyDeleteI love all your finds! Like you, I cannot say "no" to a silver tray! I use them as chargers at the dining table. Each one is different. I love that look!

ReplyDeleteI can hear it now...Hello, my name is Marty and I am a GW addict! Hey, maybe it could be a new TLC show.
ReplyDeleteThat little sweet Nest is precious. I know you will be figuring that one out soon!! It looks like it is a shot size or an eye wash???
That little egg cup with the nest text is amazing. What a great idea. Love your buys.

Sissie
Oh! I love your little nest in a cup! How did she get the word "nest" on there? You really hid it good this week with your treasures. Such good prices. Love the footed tray!
ReplyDeleteDonna
Marty, LOL I think if we went shopping together we'd be "fighting" over the same treasure. I just bought another silver tray at GW too. I love that yours has little feet.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Marty what a sweet and thoughtful friend! And I love that tin flower vase...Yes I can easily see it brimming with sunflowers! *winks* Oh and keep shopping and open an etsy shop so we can all benefit from your shopping forays! Vanna
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift for a sweet lady. That lamb is precious. I can't believe I never noticed him before. And I love the tin you scored. Great job Marty!
ReplyDeletexoxo,
Kim
Love the lamb!!!! Hugs and have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe silver goblet is a sweet gift. How thoughtful of your friend.
ReplyDeleteI love silver trays and I've never seen one for under $50.00. I can't believe you scored it for $4.
The tankard is nice and fancy.
I'm sure you will have the 'frenchy tin' filled with flowers in no time.
Dee
Beautiful finds and so reasonable. Especially love the tray. Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend.
ReplyDeleteBest Carolyn
Marty,
ReplyDeleteThoughtful friends are the "Wind Beneath Our Wings", indeed. I'm sure she is tickled that her gift thrilled you so! Darling little nest!!!
That tray is absolutely gorgeous and a bargain...I can only imagine! Our GW wants $24 for an old silver tray that has lost it's silver and no feet! Get real, people! Your other finds are delightful...can't wait for you to showcase them in an upcoming post!
Fondly,
Pat
What wonderful treasures Marty. Your friend is so sweet to send you little treasures your way! I got a package today but it was supplements- not near as fun!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your sweet lamb!! While on our trip I went a looking for sweet little lambs and sheep to add to my very small collection. Found one very small 1/2 inch size chalkware lamb with a big price tag of $22!!! I almost choked when I saw the price!! Well I found a cute new little one at the Tillamook cheese Factory for $2 which was more my liking!!
bee blessed

I wished we lived closer so I could come over and borrow that bucket this summer!!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds and a lovely gift!!
XO,
Jane
Oh you have some great finds. I know what you mean about an intervention! And how nice to have a friend that thinks of you and sends a cute little "Nest" gift. It looks so cute with the little lamb in your vignette. By the way I love the lamb. Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs, Karie
ReplyDeleteYour GW is much better than mine.
ReplyDeleteI love the name of your blog and you are just so cute. This is a cute blog! Thanks for stoping by fineandhandy.blogspot.com to say hi. I'm following you!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Marty and why not your one of the kindness and sweetest gals in all of blogland..Love ya..Hugs and smiles
ReplyDeleteYou have the best GW ever. I love trays with feet! I went to a GW in Dublin, Ga. today and bought a tank top...haha. There may be a glimmer of hope as we might go to GW in Buckhead in Atlanta on Sunday which is supposed to be awesome. I hope we can work that out.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet when friends send a "thinking of you" gift for no reason! Just makes your day, doesn't it? You find the best things at GW. I never seem to have any luck at the nearest ones to me. Must be the area I live in. People have nothing but junk around here! LOL! Enjoy your weekend!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna

I love the little silver cup. I love silver too, not polished though. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteMarty either you have the best goodwill in the USA or you have an amazing eye--or both! Love the little feet on the tray and that bucket and the little lamb...and everything! Linda
ReplyDeleteLove them all, but the little Frenchy tin with the incredible patina is my favorite. Oh la la :D
ReplyDeleteMarty, your precious little gift from your friend is perfect for your kitchen. After seeing your lamb I picked one up for myself when I was at HG's. Looks like you had a great day at GW, I'm in love with that silver footed tray!
ReplyDeleteoh wow.. wow!! so so gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou just find the BEST stuff! Or...JUNK as my hubbie likes to call it. The tray is divine...and so is the tall tin.
ReplyDeleteAnd surprises in the mail are the BEST!
Love it all!
Have a good day my friend! Hugs! Miss you!

What wonderful finds you manage to come home with! I don't think you need an intervention, I think I need a better thrift shop to visit!
ReplyDeleteBrenda
You got some great stuff at GW Marty. I have got to get over to my Salvation Army store, we don't have a GW close by. I love that rustic tin containter you scored.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get such a sweet gift from a dear friend! It looks perfect in your vignette.
ReplyDeleteYou really did well at the GW. I couldn't have passed up that beautiful tray, either. It is lovely. I hope we will see these beauties in future posts.
Tammy
Hi Marty! I can't believe I missed this post. Look at all your pretties! I love them. The nest cup is darling!
ReplyDeleteYes, we do have the same cloche. Somehow in it's dark state, I only used it around the Fall. I really like the lighter look.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Marty, the petite silver goblet with that little egg is perfect next to your sweet lamb. What a thoughtful friend, indeed. And all your thrifty finds are fabulous. I think I want to shop your Goodwill. LOL ~ Sarah
ReplyDeleteI can see immediately that we would head towards the same things!
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious friend you have...
Blessings...Betty @ Country Charm
