Summer's Last Rummaging Finds

Morning finds..... some real beauties!

 Autumn is two days away, and this morning the weather was positively perfect for a nice morning of rummaging. Sporting my comfy Coach tennies and cozy Burberry cashmere scarf bunched around my neck, I was ready to enjoy the crisp morning air. I realize this is not the best choice of attire when rummaging as I can't get the sympathy "pathetic look" discount, but too bad - I like to look stylish and put together when I'm out and about. Who cares if I don't get the $2 off I otherwise would if I were to appear in sweats and a tee? There is something called pride in life.....

This morning featured a multi-family sale at 5 houses... all within walking distance of each other which was nice. I arrived a shade after 9 and the streets were lined with cars. How, you ask, since the sales were advertised to begin at 9? Answer: early birds! I found a parking spot, hopped out of my car and started in, still having hope that not all the fab finds would have been already snapped up... I may not have been a true early bird but I picked up beautiful things.... some pretty romantic and shabby chic finds: two Cabin Crafts chenille bedspreads, an antique silk pouch, some icy-blue glitter mini Christmas trees, marble and quartz hardstone eggs, a great vintage wire bicycle basket... 

 

Enjoy the pics.

Whose move? Marble and hardstone eggs battle
the Christmas trees. Who will win this holiday game?
