Recent Shabby Finds

A rare Grindley Excelsior platter and a wonderful Dresden pitcher  complete a great weekend of antiquing. 

This was a very boring Early American chandelier until I painted it
 with chalk paint.  Even the  hobnail milk glass shades look great.  

I really had to do some fast talking to get Mr. Shabby to load this
 chippy window into the trunk.  But, isn't it wonderful?

These were given to us by a friend who really knows what we like. Thanks, James.

In this pic you can see the hobnail milk glass shades.  Yummy.

Love old boxes with advertising.

The last of my buttons.  These are antique white porcelain buttons
 with metal shanks.  

A small but precious remnant of old bark cloth.  I bought an old pillow, gutted it,  then laundered the cloth.
