    OH MY WORD - what awesome treasures you have found! Well done!

    Funny, the window with the unusual panes? Our monogram is mMm - I see an upside down M on it - love it and would have surely bought it if the price was right.

    GL with the antiques show - you will do well, I just know it!

      Thank you Michele-I love the hunt and with a show soon I need lots of stuff! I am having a thing for old window lately. I am thinking of keeping the M window for my new bedroom once the re-model is done.

    I might be tempted to create a fairy garden out of one of those suitcases...

    Fantastic finds. I love the linen fabric with the zebras. All the small tables are great. Do you ever ship any of your finds, please? Are you on Etsy? I'm sure keeping it all local is much easier and less of a hassle. I agree - isn't junking the most fun ever? You have amazing luck and a great eye for goodies.

    Take care

      Thank you Debbie-I do have an Easy shop, but have not posted anything in it for awhile. I do ship and sell almost everything that I find and post so if you are ever interested in something just let me know and we can figure out how to get it to you.

    Your treasures are wonderful! I know the old Victrola cabinet and the table will be gorgeous once you finish with them. Love the windows too. I just came in from spending the entire day out in the garage pricing stuff for Mes Amis. Oh my aching back...and it's all just small stuff. See you Friday.
