Table Top Tuesday; A First

This is my first Table Top Tuesday. It is Marty’s link party at a A Stroll Through Life If you have seen the photos of our living room at the yellow house some of these items may be a repeat for you. I do change objects around quite a lot as Joe and I thrift over two states.

The pineapple lamp is from a second hand store close to our old house. The ginger jar is a garage sale find. The small cloche is from a thrift store and the large one is from an estate sale. The tiny creamers inside the cloches are all from garage sales. The white pitcher was made in Italy for Williams Sonoma. I got it on clearance for sixty percent off the regular price. Williams Sonoma is a beautiful store but the prices are scary.

The duck mandible is really Joe’s brother’s. We are holding it hostage because I like it very much. Joe found the drift wood at the beach. The little elephant is from a garage sale.

The small oval mirror is from a thrift store. The print was purchased in Florence, Italy and is of the Ponte Vecchio  bridge where we purchased our wedding bands.

My little three drawer chest holds my vintage linens. I have had it for many years. I did purchase it from an antiques store. I love the drawer pulls.

  14. Isn't it great fun to thrift...especially as you travel? Hubby and I love doing that. It's the little treasures we find that make our houses our homes and add such personality and style.

    Have a terrific week!
