Treasure Hunting

Happy New Year!

 I travelled at Christmas and got home in time to go to the last day of Wellington's after Christmas sale.  I got a tiny little myrtle topiary which made  a little french corner on my marble table. Treasure hunting at Wellington always makes me happy.

 (The base of the urn is a little square pot from Walmart, painted with a magnet glued on.)

All I did was put together plants I already had together on the same table. 

Simple

 My Mom love Hermes scarves and I always wanted to give her one but it was not in my budget. I

 went into a local thrift store in early December and found.... a Hermes Scarf !

She was thrilled and this is the reason I love thrifting, you just never know what treasure is in there. 

We went to Arizona for Christmas and while there I went to an antique mall (travel for me always means hunting for antique's) and finally got to see a vintage mercury glass lamp.

Isn't it fabulous?? It's in perfect condition.  I fell in love but I couldn't figure out how to get it home without (god forbid) breaking it.  I had to settle for caressing it and letting it stay.  Seeing this picture is making me think I need it......

I also found another little treasure that made the trip home. 

This little ( but heavy) white alabaster was built to travel and it did.  I'm still working on a shade for it. 

I never know where I will find a treasure.

Keep Treasure Hunting,
