Fabulous Finds Friday

My trip last week produced some awesome finds I want to share with you. The first visit we made was with my sister-in-law. She had seen my posts on Facebook about how I am collecting white milk glass. My favorite is the hobnail pattern. You can imagine my pleasure when she gave me this beautiful basket made by Fenton glass. She has had it for years but never set it out. It still had the tags. I was thrilled. 

My sister gave me this Pyrex Butterfly Gold 444 Cinderella bowl. I just love it.

My cousin, Patty, gave me this Pyrex Butterprint 444 Cinderella bowl. I have been looking for one of these for a long time.

In past blogs, I have mentioned my sewing machine died and I needed to get a new one. I have the best sister in the world because she had a spare machine and guess who she gave it to...ME! Can't wait to sew something.

She also gave me the sewing machine cover to go with it. My niece Amy actually made this so that makes it even more precious to me. 

My mom gave me this crochet Christmas stocking. Growing up, we had a neighbor named Ruby. She was the piano player for our little Baptist church until she was well in her 90's. She lived to be 102. Ruby had made this for my mom years and years ago. Since Ruby and I had a very special bond, Mom wanted me to have this. 

I picked up some books that Mom had for me. Lots of Sherryl Woods and Lori Wilde. I am set on books for awhile. 

There were even some Christian books that I can donate to the church library after I am done reading them. Over 50 books total.

On Sunday, I stopped at one of their local thrift stores. I didn't find much, but I love crystal saucers so I picked this up for .25 cents.

And this little cup was just too precious to resist so I had to get it for a quarter as well.

My sister had a cute butterfly hanging on her front porch that she found at the Dollar Tree. I stopped in to get me one but they were out. However, I couldn't resist this little bunny to hang by my door. It is kind of vintage looking so I had to have it. 

When I am visiting West Virginia, I love to go to the antique mall in Milton, WV. They have great prices and I usually find something on my wish list. This trip I found this small Pyrex bowl. I have one in a pattern I don't like so I have been looking for a new one. I am really into the solids and when I found this one for $5.95, I knew I had to have it. 

When I started collecting milk glass to decorate my new office, I kept looking for a candy dish with a lid. I had seen several online and wanted one that was an oval egg-like shape. I have looked everywhere. Well, the look is over. The Milton shop had exactly what I was wanting for just $5.00! This baby will stay filled with Junior Mints to set on my desk at work. 

As you can see, it was a great trip. I got lots of great things and my out-of-pocket expense was just $12.45. I need more trips like this one.
