Found Jewels

I went up to Lexington Missouri over the weekend to attend my niece Janelle's bridal shower, she is getting married in Kansas City next month
While driving up there I stopped in Higgensville Missouri a little town however they have 3 pretty good vintage flea markets with several booths and then there is a Methodist Church resale shop where I got enough glass vases and bowls,10 cents a piece! )  to make one of those I call a stick bird bath or glass totem pole to put in your flower bed, haven't you seen those on different blogs?

I also scored in Lexington Missouri at River Antiques downtown, Sue is the owner and my sisters neighbor

                                                                           

Judy had  these repo civil war era wallpaper hat boxes that I love, she only had 2 sizes left the large ones were all sold

I have them on a book case and they look so good




I got this red & black necklace $3.00  at Higgensville Mo the clips and bow pin I paid $4.00 and can't wait to get them worked up in a recreation of mine LOL
I don't think I paid over $2.00 for any of these pieces, it was a good day LOL



Then I found some old luggage , a friend is always begging to buy mine so I happened to find some  pieces to sell her ,


Linky parties I am joining in
