Weekly Recap
Here's a quick look at some of my finds for this week:
I bought the suitcase, white planter and the Pyrex dishes at my favorite thift store, Nana's Attic. The green Haeger planter was from Powerhouse Antiques in Collegeville, PA. I love the bright green color. Powerhouse is one of those annoying antique malls that is only open on Sundays. The booth owners have to be present in order to sell their stuff. It seems like every time you pick up an item, the owner gives you a complete history of it and all its possible uses and then tells you that they can give you a great deal on it. It gets really old by the third booth.
I also found this at this pale pink wooden hat/band box with decals at Powerhouse. It is pretty big - 14" high by 15" in diameter.
My best find of the week (or maybe the year) is this old quilt. I nearly died when I saw the price was only four dollars! The woman at Nana's Attic said that she had just put it out a few minutes before I got there. The backing is a pretty aqua and white fabric and the binding is hand-sewn.
LOL, I love the hatbox, but I couldn't stand that system!

What??? 4 dollars for a quilt? Awesome! And so cute and cottagey looking! You are right, that was a steal. Good eye. Don't cha just love a bargain? I do. I wouldn't like the Powerhouse system. Everyone mans their own booth? Odd, to me.
