Some antique finds...

Friday I decided to do some antique shopping. I found this cute little clock. It doesn't work, but I thought it would be cute in my steam punk room. It was just $2.00. So I got it.


Check out the little gears in it. It is rustic looking but I am not going to clean it up since it is very "steampunky" looking.


At another store, I found this Indiana Glass cup and saucer in a sandwich clear pattern. This is one of my favorite clear glass patterns. It was only $2.00 for the set as well.


I have a cream pitcher and two small bowls in that pattern so I bought it and put them all on one of my little shelves. 


Last and definitely not least, I have been looking for over 5 years for this Carnival Glass blue/green iridescent King's thumbprint compote dish. I never could find one "in the wild". But as I was heading home Friday, I just made a snap decision to go in one more antique store. At the next light I whipped in and parked and entered the store. After the third booth, I decided it just wasn't the "right mood" to be in there that day. As I turned around to leave, look what was on the table right in front of me. The elusive dish. And the price was just $12 which was a really good price. So I came home very, very happy needless to say. She's a beauty.


I didn't find a lot that day, but what I found was totally worthy the time I spend out at antique stores.
