Make Momma Proud
The town we live in had it's annual city garage sale. So the girls and I went out around our neighborhood with wagon and bikes in tow on Saturday morning to see what treasures we might find. The very first place we stopped at I found this set of coffee pot, tea kettle and something else. I still have no idea what it's use is? I have been looking for trinket type things to put up above the cupboards in my kitchen and thought these would look great. I was only going to buy one of them but then decided to get all three. It was a bargain, I paid a whopping $6 for all three. When I got them home and started putting them up I noticed something in the bottom of the tea kettle. I pulled it out and it was a price tag form an antique store. It listed the item and Id# then the price. It was $49.50! And that was just for one piece of the set. It makes me wonder what the whole set is worth!!!
Any of you who know my mom, knows that she loves antiques and is an avid antiquer. So not only did I get a cute set of things for my cupboards but I also got a steal of a deal, and it was my first purchase of an antique and I think I did my momma proud.

Very cool find!!! I like stuff like that above cupboards....it looks good!!!
You did....you did....you did do yo momma proud!! But hey, you and antiques??? What's up with that? Better keep an eye on them the next time I am visiting.
You did find a deal. I haven't been to garage sales in a while, but we've had a few ourselves though in the past few years. I noticed our neighborhood is having one in a few weeks and I hope to find a few good deals myself!
I can't believe they didn't try and sell them on ebay if they bought them for so much!
My uncle has an antique store and he goes to flea markets, buys stuff for cheap and than puts high prices on them. People buy them because they are in an "antique store" or speciality store so the item is special. So hopefully they are really worth that much, but you never know.
I agree with your mom. You like antiques? That's kinda cool. I like the things you bought. I bet they look great up there.
