Weekend finds

Also picked up this book but at a different antique shop. I will talk more about Saturday later, just wanted to share my pictures before I forget.

Here is a fleur de lis thing(?) I would like to use it in the master bathroom to hold towels, but I don't think it is sturdy enough. So either it will be used as decoration in the master bath or a place for Greg to put his ties on.

The couple who the shabby place belongs to was featured in Romantic Homes..... but it isn't either of these :( But I picked these up for $1 each.

We also went to Shabby Heaven, that also needs it's own post which I probably wont get to tonight because I am babysitting my nieces. Anyway, we bought a few things for the room.

Like I said he was having a yard sale, Greg bought a water hose for $1 and bought me 3 books for $.75! I was so excited, I love buying used books and for a quarter each book it just makes it even funner (it's a word...... in my dictionary) Greg didn't take a pic of them so I will talk about them in a different post.

Greg found these cute end tables on craigslist, they were $40. Thought these would look nicer in the shabby room than the wood end tables (which we still want will explain later) it had just been posted for 20 min's so we lucked out! When we got to his house (which was 40 min's away) he said his wife had already sold them, but he gave the customer (he was having a yard sale) their money back because he wanted to give them to us. He and his family seemed so nice. He also said his wife bought them at pier 1 for $100, so $40 was a good deal especially for night stands that don't look used. What do you think? would they look nicer in the shabby room than the antique wood ones?
