Treasure Hunting Finds (Early Summer 2016)

Take a look at a few of the little treasures I've stumbled upon recently:

Strawberry Ornament

I've been into strawberries lately and found this little beaded ornament for .50

I haven't decided if it will be a Christmas tree ornament or a kitchen ornament, but for now it's resting on a plate on my baker's rack.

Milk Glass & Strawberries

The bowl I found for $3 and the pitcher was $1.
I love the summery feeling I get from the strawberries!

I tucked the new pitcher along side a strawberry printed colander that I already own.  The colander used to be my Granny's and sits nestled into some ivy leaves at the top of a kitchen cupboard.

Silicone Baking!

I found the pumpkin mold for .50 while the packages and gingies were .25 each.  

I manage to squeeze them into my baking cabinet storage.....

.....It's getting a little full in there :D :D :D

Tart Ornament

This little fruit-filled tart was priced at 50 cents.  For now I hung it from the top of a cake dome, but I think I'm going to add it to my kitchen Christmas tree ornament collection.

Misc Holiday Supplies

I found the gold bulb ornaments and peppermint stationary all for .50

  

The ornaments will be tucked away for holiday decorating and the stationary I will split apart.  In other words, I have no idea how I'll be using the ornaments ;)

The peppermint printed cards will be great for holiday scrapbooking while the red envelopes will probably be used for the Little Man's next set of birthday invitations.

Rainbow Ornaments

Remember when the kids got their own Christmas tree?  Baby Girl wanted to decorate it in a rainbow theme.  For .50 these will start that project off nicely ;)

Resin Urn

This urn was another $1 find.  I loved the size and shape, hated the color.....

.....so I painted it out white.  I'm not sure if I like the white or not.
But since I am currently out of gold paint, this will have to do for now :D

Miniature Dome

Intended to be the cover for a small cheese plate, I found this glass dome for $1.   I bought it thinking that I would stash it away until I found a coordinating stand, and then remembered that I already have a small raised pedestal plate (right photo).  

I think the plate was meant to be a candle holder, but I've never used it that way.  It was one of those finds (treasure hunting for $1) that I bought and then never really knew what to do with it.  I liked it, but kept it up on a top shelf and never used it.  In fact, I almost got rid of it, twice! 

I'm so glad I kept it because I realized that the little dome would look great on top of it.

In place

Here you can see the newly topped plate pedestal on my shelf.  I love how it turned out and I'm so glad that I kept the pedestal plate!

Those are my goodies for now- stay tuned for more and thanks for stopping by!
