While we were at the lake last week, Chris and I did manage to hit one estate sale. We were in and out in just a few minutes but I did happen to find a few holiday items, as well as another wool plaid blanket and handmade afghan.
I also made a quick trip with my mom and sister to the local antique mall and scored this amazing tin Easter basket for $3! Aren't the graphics darling?
These squirrel salt & pepper shakers are now living at our
A-frame too. With all our oak and pine trees, I believe they have become our lake house mascots. On the way back home from our week at the lake, Chris found a picker's sale (the house is so bad, it's actually being demolished) but he dug through some boxes and came home with Santa and Satan.
Last but not least (and certainly most exciting) my husband's former principal generously gave us this beautiful pie safe....for FREE!
Isn't it gorgeous?
My mother has a pie safe and I've always wanted one of my very own. As you can imagine, I've already had fun filling it with linens, my grandmother's dishes and other special treasures.
I still can't believe this beautiful piece of furniture is now mine! I'm feeling very spoiled and very blessed (thank you Linda).
Very NICE pie safe!!! Darling easter tin...nice finds.

Hi Kim, such great finds but the Pie Safe is the greatest! What a nice give a way! I like all of your treasures you put in it and those sweet doll dressers on top, very cute!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week,
Gina
My Gosh! I can hardly believe you got that gorgeous piece for free! Are you taking it to the cottage or using it at your house? Love it! Those are really cute finds, too! You find the best things. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteThe pie safe is amazing. They knew it was going to a good home! There is an old Hoosier sitting out at my husband's Uncles house - it belonged to his Great Grandmother - we have been trying to rescue it before the roof caves in on the old house. People need to understand that these things need to be saved!
ReplyDeleteWhile the pie safe is beautiful, I am enamored with the miniature dressers and knick-knacks.

WOW - amazing that you received the pie safe for FREE! Lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteOoooh -- that pie safe is beautiful! Now, I'm wishing for some pie this morning! ;) Have a good day!
ReplyDeleteGreat score on the Easter tin. I have been on the hunt for one more to corral my vintage Easter chicks in (I have about 4, but need one more)...I've seen some but not with a $3 price tag! That pie safe is perfect..a good home with you indeed!
ReplyDeleteThe pie safe is beautiful, what a generous gift! The petite dressers on top are just darling! Are they recent finds, too? I love your salt and pepper shakers too!
ReplyDeleteOh! congrats on the pie safe! ♥

ReplyDeleteMy principal was mean and probably decorated his house with pressboard furniture :-) That pie safe is beautiful!

What wonderful finds, especially the free furniture!! But what I find the best of all are the doll dressers up on top- of course you knew I'd say that!
ReplyDeleteI love the graphics on that old basket and your mascots are pretty cute too. How wonderful you were given that beautiful pie safe, & love how you decorated the top, just darling!
