flea market + junk shop

The Elephant's Trunk did not disappoint this morning. Here's the loot:

Federal mirror that needs some love; $5

A pair of bird needlepoints; $2 (need to be badly cleaned and frames painted)

Forgot to take pics of a thin-necked, pewter pitcher great for flowers ($1) and a sweet candlestick holder (free).  So all in all, $8 for a really fun morning with mom. 

Thennnnn we decided to swing by the junk shop because mom has been blabbing about this chest of drawers. Card catalog-eqsue but not really. Used as a tool box. Well, it was still there. Here she is: 

Almost the same exact piece (except covered in old green paint) was going for $800 at the flea market. $75 dollars later and she's waiting to get pretty at home :) Excited to turn it into an entryway catch-all console. Mail, keys, office supplies, tools, and 20 other things for the other drawers.
