I brought some branches inside to add some Spring cheer to the room. I guess you could say this is a "flea market finds" photo - the two silver vases and the tray are recent finds (for a total of $11.00!), as are the shutters ($20.00 for four panels) and the Battenburg runner ($1.00). Good deals, don't you agree? The tray is very old and heavy but was so discolored I painted it. The larger vase is stamped "Cunard White Star" on the bottom, but after checking around I don't think it's very valuable, although it's perfect for flowers. And the shutters are a project just half finished - they were green, and so far I've sanded, primed and glued the slats back into place. I prefer to paint large objects with a spray gun, but the weather hasn't cooperated lately - it's been cold and windy - so it's a project waiting for a calm day. My plan is to paint them an antique white, then shabby them up a bit with some light sanding. I do so love white!
Great deals Jill!!!
Love them!

Well your vase may not be "valuable" but it sure looks like a million bucks with that arrangement in it!

I love the simplicity of your branches and silver pot. I have a quince bush down the street from me. I love to go get some of the branches put on my table. Lovely!
