Garage Sale Finds

In Sunday's post I mentioned the garage sale where I found lovely treasures. I forgot  to show the two Royal Albert teacups that were two dollars each!!  I'm always looking for the flower-of-the-month series and I was happy to find the May cup. I already have February (Purple Violets) and July ( Forget-me-nots). The May one is Lily of the Valley.

This teacup has no special name but is very pretty too.


Here they both are in the cupboard where most of my Royal Alberts are displayed. Middle of the third and fourth shelves.



 One last thing I got was this set of pot holders which I didn't even notice at the time  are not identical. Just imagine the precise folding and sewing necessary to make such a set.


 

Once again I hope I haven't gone on and on about my finds. It's a hobby that's fascinating to me but I realize it's not everyone's cup of tea.

Thanks for visiting. I always enjoy your comments, even the anonymous ones *smile*.
