Well, I headed out this morning…it was gray and chilly, so I didn’t have high hopes. Today was a good reminder to me that you just never know what treasures you’re going to find when you head out on a Saturday morning. I didn’t actually find the dresser this morning, but it was an $8.00 auction find from 2 weeks ago. It’s been sitting in my living room, so I thought I would show it as well. The veneer is bubbled on the top and it needs some work, but it is bird’s eye maple. I loved it…and for $8.00, sold.

You've got some major great stuff! I love love love the crate! And the mirror to the right in your first photo! Wowzeee!
Wow, that is an impressive haul–especially your headless bird!
I want to head out with you some time!!!!! Great finds!
Great finds! If it were mine (I have a vintage 1940's bull's eye mirror replica which is gold) I'd go with the oil rubbed bronze look…unless you want to be a bit more avant garde with the white. Ooh..that blue and white side table is cute! (it's showing right next to the comment box!)

I've been hunting for a mirror like that oval one you found ever since I saw design sponge turn one into a magnetic chalk board to hold photos! Great snag…I'm coming shopping with you next week 🙂
Wow, you made out!!! Love both mirrors!!!! The plastic ornate and the concave one. And the crate is adorable!
The maple dresser….what a DEAL….girl you get the best deals out there! I will be looking out for your GOOSE.
