I found a huge box full of my Mother In Laws silver in our garage. It has been in there for nearly 5 years and we didn't even know it! Imagine my delight when my hubster bellowed for me to come into the garage and see what he found... a big fat box chock full of decorating goodies... just for me (because no one else in the house but me would have wanted any of it!) 
Loot at the gorgeous handle full of ornate details. Sadly, a leg was broken off of this tea tray and it wobbled a bit but I had a solution for it....
A topper to a plain little wooden side table in my living room! 
Mr. Chippy- the dusty, ceramic pooch! He wears his name well!

A topper to a plain little wooden side table in my living room! I thought it looked quite regal next to our carved wooden chair with a few vintage books, a couple of poochies and a simple lamp.

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel,
ReplyDeletewhat a find. I think, I will go strait to my garage and start to tidy up. May be I will find such treasures, too. No, just kidding!
