Second Time Around - 11/3


I'm showing my 2nd hand treasures. If you would like to see other bloggers 2nd hand treasures click the link to go to A Picture is Worth 1,000 Words.


The best find in a long time was this tripod, on half price day. I only paid $3.00 for it. There was a case and a lens, too.



My step-sister collects cobalt blue bottles. I think these are very unique. The horseshoe one on the left was only 25 cents. The guitar shaped one on the right was only 97 cents.



I think this candle and candleholder is perfect for fall. Both for under $3.00. The beads are attached to the candleholder.




The tea cup and saucer for 90 cents.


What thrilled me was that I already had two of these napkins. Now I have enough for a setting for five. They are Pier 1. I think I paid only a dollar or two for all three.


A pumpkin Wilson cookie cutter I got half price for 15 cents.


These wooden candlesticks need some spray paint. The pair was only 49 cents.


Melissa from Melissa's Heart and Home is having a give away in commemoration of her 1 year anniversary. Go check it out and wish her happy anniversary.
