Friday's Find #159


Thank God it's thrifty Friday, Friends! One of the best things about summer is the abundance of yard sales and I hit several great ones where I scored this week's fabulous finds. Anytime I see an ornate Italian frame like this one, I grab it. I decorate with them throughout my home, so it's a keeper!

I'm always happy to find vintage dishes that match one of my collections, like this Lifetime China Co. Gold Crown plate.

Next, I love mint julep cups and this one is a perfect addition to my silver collection, worn patina and all!

I frequently use vintage books as decor and I'm partial to old ecclesiastical volumes.

At first glance I thought this was a candlestick, but then realized it's an old lamp base. I'll probably use it as a type of pedestal to add height to upcoming seasonal vignettes.

Did you happen to notice the updated book cover I snuck in on the sidebar this week? It's been almost a year since I launched my first eBook chronicling my journey from divorce to a healed heart. In celebration of its first anniversary, I'm planning a relaunch and have made a few changes--same book, just an updated cover plus I've decided to list it exclusively on Amazon. I'll be sharing more soon about a special sale, so stay tuned and spread the word! 

When the Glass Slipper Shatters: Recreate Your Fairy Tale After Divorce by Cecilia Lynne

  3. I love that plate! It's perfect for your house. :-) looking forward to seeing what you use the lamp base for too. I recently bought a tarnished silver pitcher and I love how it looks! I finally understand the attraction to it...your cup is fabulous!
    I like the updated book cover (about half way through the book too. Wonderful so far! It can apply to so much more than divorce).
