Weekend wrap up

I had a very good weekend. It started off with the arrival of a new medium utility tote my daughter got for me. I am in love with it. 

On Saturday, I went by myself to the local flea market and spent some time just browsing up and down the aisle. The outside booths have a lot of vintage finds and that was where I made my scores. I got this nice winter pitcher. I love the snowflake pattern. It was only $5.00 and I thought it was worth it.

I have always wanted to find one of these cut glass fruit bowls. I saw this one in a booth that carried only antiques. It wasn't priced and from what I could tell, some of his items were pricey. But I asked anyway. He launched into how old it was, how hard they are to find, etc. Finally, he said it took up a lot of room on his table and if I would take it off his hands that I could have it for $3.00. Well, you know I did a happy dance over that. 

I have been wanting to find a small Federal mixing bowl. I got this one for just $4.00.

And I am a sucker for any type of sandwich glass, especially little trays. I loved this one and for $2 it was a pretty good deal.

I hooked up with my daughter later that day and we were on our way to Walmart when we spotted a thrift store. We stopped in and I got this little cup and saucer set. I love to heat caramel sauce and cut up apples to dip in it. The cup can hold my sauce and the saucer can hold my apple. For $2 it was a great find.

I also found this little soap dish for just .99 cents. I fell in love with it. I am going to put it on my home office desk to hold paper clips.

Sunday after church, I got in a cleaning mood. I got out my fall tablecloth that I bought earlier this year and put it on my table.

Then I moved my big chicken as my new centerpiece on the table. 

I rearranged some of my other Pyrex and stuck my hen in one of the bowls to hold the coffee filters down. I use these filters to cover food in the microwave so it doesn't splatter everywhere. 

I moved a few things around on my wine rack once I took the big chicken off and put it on the table.

I tried out the new Duncan Hines Perfect Size Cake. 

Was it fantastic or did it flop? Come back tomorrow and see how the process went.
