Treasure Hunt Thursday #19!!

Welcome to Treasure Hunt Thursday #19! Thank you to all who partied with us last week! We had another great  turn out. I am hoping this party only grows larger every week so be sure to invite all your friends over to have fun with us! I truly love seeing all the great things you have found! As promised I even made sure to do the THT Highlight post! If you have not seen it be sure to see if you were high lighted!

This week I lucked up on a box of antique silver wear! I think there is 10 of most pieces in there. Last night I researched the origin and found out that they are from 1959. 

I think the design is just darling and I was super excited because I have been wanting some old silver wear to decorate with but they have always been so pricey. I got this entire lot for just $5!

Next up is my grand find for the week! It is not an actual antique but still just as divine! I think the production date on the back is 1996. That is the year Th Hubster and I started dating!:) (Speaking of which you may have noticed I changed my music out. No worries it is only for a few days. It is in honor of our anniversary tomorrow!)

This mirror is pretty large and I think a great steal at just $25! I am not sure if I will be painting it or not though I  have found some wonderful inspirations if I do decided to go that route. Not sure where it is going yet either. Maybe in the new guest suite or even our master.

As with all parties there are the normal rules. You must link back to From My Front Porch To Yours. Just common courtesy. Only link up to your Treasure Hunt Thursday post and NOT your blog homepage. Please no advertising. Also be sure to visit at least the link before you and after you to just say Hi! It makes partying all the more fun!:) 


Linking up to the following parties:

If you have not been over Amy's way you must stop by for a visit! She has a great sense of style and I am just head over heels for her ladder! I am sure you will just love All Things Home as much as I do!

I am a sucker for rehabbed painted furniture! This piece is no exception! Stop by Vintage Shabby Chicks  to see what this beauty use to look like.

Black Forest Ham, Cookie Dough, & Chalk Paint

Bet ya never thought you would see those three mentioned at the same time, uh!? I love using the plastic containers for my paint projects! It is a great way to recycle and save money. A win win. The thing I like best abt the deli containers are that they have a see thru top. Makes things easy enough. So this is why I have been MIA. Between the boys, getting ready for school which begins in T-8 days, and yard work I managed to  squeeze in working on my armoire. 

My custom color of  Chateau Gray and Old White. Notice the  plastic knife, it makes a wonderful stirrer!

Sneak peek at where I am at right now. If I had not worked out side in 101 degree heat for three hours doing yard work today I would so be working on it some more. I am beat!  It won't take much though to finish so I am getting excited!

Can't decide if I want to continue with putting patina on the doors or not. Hmmm.....

On a differ note I probably won't be around much this week due to it being the  last week I have with both my boys. Littliest starts kindergarten this year and lets just say I will be having a mini/major melt down any day now. We went in for pre-screening and I was already tearing up!:(

Hope your weekend was a grand one!
