I love a good sale! I came across a great estate sale and came home with these finds....
I got this gorgeous large buffet style antique mirror with beveled glass for just $8.00.




















See the detailing? I think I will dry brush some white paint across it to highlight the relief.


















I LOVED this original artwork. So much I bought it.

It came with a story. The lady selling it had lots of stories with things she sold. I love that. This was something she purchased on a trip to Buenos Aires with a boyfriend.

The boyfriend is now history.
The artwork reminds her of him.
And I have a piece of gorgeous original framed artwork with authenticity plaque for $5.00!
The artwork is called Buenos Aires Tango by Pablo Paez.



























I also picked up this "Bless this House" glass vase with light for a buck.

I plan to use it in my Christmas display next year. Unless I come up with a place to put it between now and then. One buck. Yes.
I also found Sister Sledge some more brand name clothing. She was happy about that. What a great sale!

Tablescape Thursday
Now, onto to Tablescape Thursday, which is hosted by Susan of Between Naps on the Porch.

I also participate in Tablescape Thursday on Thursdays in addition to Thrifty Thursday.  The host of that fun carnival is the Hostess with the Mostess...Susan of Between Naps on the Backporch. That's no lie or exaggeration, each week I visit Susan's porch and just long to be a guest at any of her tablescapes...especially those held on the porch.

Its cold outside, even here in the south! WE went from temps in the 60-lower 70's to 30's! I am ready for a warm beach somewhere. So, today for tablescape I am doing a flashback. This makes me think of picnics on the beach. Dining with a view. And what a view it is!

(Taste of Home)
I invite you to stop by my food blog, PLATES & PLACES for Foodie Friday. I will be sharing the beach menu for perfect finger foods/nibblers: Oven fried chicken, shrimp gazpacho and coconut lemon bars.

Thanks to all of you for stopping by and participating in today's Thrifty Thursday. Please use Mr. Linky below to link up your blog.
