Best finds ever

We went thrifting yesterday and found the best items ever.


I was about to buy an oil lamp at Walmart because I love the smell of burned oil on rainy days (we have a lot of those in May and June)

And alas, I found this old one at an Estate Sale, it was very rusty inside where the wick goes, it gave us a hard time cleaning it and putting a new wick, but it is working now.


This butter dish is so pretty, lots of patina.

I want to bring some flowes inside the house and put them in this glass bottle, unfortunately I don't have any cutting flowers yet, weather too cold.

But the best finds ever are these two... I don't know what they are, they look like candle holders, but they have a hole through the middle.  The price, $1 a piece.


I love them!



Do you have any finds to share today?
