This Week's Finds

Our small town has a tiny church charity shop which is only open a few hours over 2 days a week
I found  a couple of treasures this week

a double strand of mid century pearls for my costume jewellery collection for $9




I couldn't believe my eyes when I spotted a stack of 4 antique bowls for $2 each
They are James Kent  " La Rosa" and we had only been looking at a James Kent display in an antique shop the week before and now sit with my collection of roses china









It is a very small shop ...a crowd is more than one person!




 It's a brisk walk uphill and past the town park


 The autumn weather is gorgeous at the moment and the garden is slowly losing its flowers and leaves


First frost













Left over bread and butter pudding





One of the last roses destined to be dried

    I love those pearls. Why is it that things made all those years ago were beautiful. Try and buy some costume jewellery pearls now...cheap and nasty?! The views of your garden and surrounding hills are gorgeous. Enjoy that lovely autumn weather.

    Is it not wonderful to find the exact china you are collecting in a thrift store?

    Such a lovely post Meg. My grandmother had pearls like those, brought a smile to me. I adore your rose dishes, china with pink roses is my absolute favorite. And gosh, what a gorgeous place you live in. How wonderful to look out upon that each day.

    Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday!
