Two posts in a matter of minutes! I finally finished my large dog treat order! Yay! I rewarded myself by going to a few estate sales on the way to work today. I found a fabulous vanity tray identical to one my sweet mother-in-law gave me for Christmas several years ago, a glass compote, a hobnail container, some glass coasters, vintage lace napkins (close-up), a fun vintage Pyrex juice container (close-up of this as well), and a fabulous bird cage. The bird cage was filled with old flowers. I scored the cage for $1. I've got plans for this so check back to see what becomes of it! Speaking of creativity - anyone have any ideas for the juice container? I don't want to use if for juice, not quite sure what to do with it but I couldn't pass it up for $.75!
Last photo is of the softie I received from my swap partner Dawn Alice. Isn't he just the cutest?!

Well aren't you lucky!! Hmmm... what to do with the juice container.. what to do...
I love all the eye candy in this post. I can't wait to see what you do with the tray. What a bargain!
Maybe hold the juice container for a swap? You could put stuff in it.

Oh my! Your little softie elephant swap is just darling! How fun! I was so impressed by YOUR softie last week!
great finds!!! and the little elephant is adorable!!!!!!!
You could use the juice pitcher for water in a guest room or on the table with lemmons and ice water? We drink alot of water. or try martini pitcher???
your other finds are most wonderful also!!!
your cutie elephant is adorable!!!! I love , love ,love the flag in his trunk!!! It makes me happy.
have a good day at work and wow...the early bird got the deals!

p.s.
Your kitchen must be so beautiful in that color!
All of your finds are very fun! I sure do love antiquing. The softie is extremely cute, as was the one you made for your partner. What a fun thing to do a swap like that. I would be so nervous to make one for someone else. My mom and I recently made some fun things, not sure if you saw them on my blog yet. It's so rewarding, or should I say, "sew" rewarding :o)
