Antique Faire Awesomeness

Molly Mo's Antique Faire did not disappoint. I've decided that I'm going to it every year from now on. We had a great day and found a lot of treasures.

I got an AWESOME vintage kitchen scale!!  I. love. this. Not only is it cool looking, but it actually works!

I bought 3 cool amber bottles. Since I've had Cliff, I haven't been able to have plants in my house, but this is his test - two plants on a counter he can easily get to.  I found a glass amber tray that I had buried in a box and discovered that two of my small terracotta pots fit on it. I transplanted a couple of succulents and there you have it!  We'll see if he can resist eating them. (He laid by them and sniffed them for about 10 minutes earlier today...no chomping, though.)

I also bought a cutie-pie old wire basket. Perfect for fruit! Or...?

And last, but definitely not least, I found what I've been looking for FOR EVER.

A little white metal bistro set!!!! Once I make super cute seat cushions, it will be PERFECT! Goodbye old camping chairs!!

My precious...

Being a general contractor has its perks. One of them being finding amazing deals at our suppliers. Check out this beauty we got for our kitchen.

It's a Blanco Medallion. It's stainless steel (brushed nickel). And at Home Depot, it sells for $529....FOR A KITCHEN FAUCET!! I can't believe it. (Yeah, yeah, I know there are more expensive ones, but holy cow, that's a lot for something that shoots water!!)  We got ours for about $400 less than that. Now I can go buy a one-way ticket to Hawaii...or a new TV...or a new wardrobe...or more new things for my kitchen.

I love me a good deal!
