~Estate Finds and Simple & Sweet Fridays #51~



I had to share with you some treasures I found at an Estate Sale.
This mirror was on the wall at the home
 and didn't have a price on it. 
I thought it wasn't for sale but I asked anyway and
 the lady said $25.
I said absolutely!

I love the detail on it and for now I put it upstairs in the hall.
I saw this on the wall in a entryway and paid $15.
I love it on my mantel. It has a European look.
I love gardening as you know and saw this lovely vintage fountain sitting all by itself.
No price on it. 
I asked, the lady said $10.
I'll take it!!
Stan did have to change out the pump and recement a piece on it.
The water comes out of the top of the umbrella.  
It's a perfect fit for that spot.
It was my lucky day!

Happy Thursday everyone!

  21. Hi Jody,
    What a great post. You have filled it with so many amazing features. Your Estate Sale finds are absolutely incredible. You were in the right place at the right time. I can't get over the mirror and it looks fantastic in your home. The piece you found for your mantel is so elegant. I love the little children beneath the fountain. They must look sweet in your garden.
    Thank you for hosting. I'm looking forward to strolling over to several of the blogs you have featured.
    Have a great weekend, my friend.
