Look what I found today

Today I figured I would just take it easy and have a lazy day. I had to go run a few errands though. As I was driving around I spotted a few garage sales going on. It was pretty late in the day so I almost didn't bother to stop. But, I'm happy I did.
I found these two little bird candle holders. They have pale pink chippy paint on them. I don't think they are really old. I think they are newer and just painted to give that old look. They are made out of some type of metal though.

Cost $1.50 for both.

I also saw this little cup. I picked it up and then put it back down. As I walked around I kept looking at it. I went back, picked it up again and then thought it would look cute on my desk holding pens so I bought it. Besides, it was only 50 cents.
I love this little plate. It has hand painted forget me nots on it. I'm going to hang it in my bedroom with my other plates.

Cost $3.00
I love this little plaster pot. It has three cherubs on it. There isn't any drainage holes though so I'm not sure what I'll do. I could either try to drill holes or put a pot inside and pull the pot out when I water the plant. What would you do?

Cost $2.00

I think my best find was these candle holders. They are heavy. They are tarnished silver. I think they look much better in person. I'm not sure I will paint these or let them stay this color. I'm leaning towards letting them stay silver.

I put the crystal part on the top. I think it looks nice with the tarnished silver look. Sort of a real Shabby Chic look.

Cost for these were $3.00.

So what do you think? With or without the crystal top? I'll be putting pink candles in them. I have to buy some though. I'm going to put them in my office.

I was pleased with my finds. I guess sometimes you find good things at the end of the day as people just want to get rid of the things they have left. I've noticed that you find a lot of nice things if you get out there really early but often the prices are much higher.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
