In my travels around the countryside over the last few weeks I have made some interesting stops at various enchanting flea markets, antique shops and a few amazing yard sales. Actually, I had sworn to buy nothing this summer in the way of collectibles, etc but then I did sort through a bunch of "stuff" in June and took three boxes to the GoodWill. Really, Robin?? Is that your justification?? Oh well!

In no particular order, here are some of my little treasures. For a closer look, click on photo.
This odd looking little shelf type object is over 100 years old, made of solid, heavy wood and has a lot of engraving and intricate embellishment. I was told it might have been used as a clock case; there is a recessed area. I should have taken another photo from a different angle. Whatever it is, I find it fascinating and unique. Who knows what we will do with it??!!

I have another post's worth of junk to show off, so tune in next time!! Oh, and everything, with the exception of the McCoy vase was under $5.00 each.

We had one of those little copper hanging baskets too when I was a kid. It had a fake green fern in it.
You really found some fantastic treasures. I love that amber bowl and the vase. Anxious to see more of your treasures.
