So MacIver and I were out on the weekend. Driving home after a long day of running around, just around the corner from home I spied a canopy in a parking lot of an office building area. I asked if we could stop and peek as it was obviously a garage sale ...some sort of community fund raising event. MacIver was a little tired and maybe a little grumpy and I said..oh..forget it...we don't need anything ...but he did turn in and sat in the car while I whipped around. There was lots of little things. I spied a set of cutlery in a cutlery box but did not pay too much attention to those (yet). Then I saw some old silver stuff. Again I really don't need any silver as I have LOADS of it from my MIL and my own dear Mum (still in Ireland awaiting sipping). I did look..and found something that I loved the shape of...what do you think?
It's a lovely shape and size and will be a perfect vase for Summer blooms!
Lovely detail on the handle
but what confused me was...what sport plays for "flights"? Anyone know what this might have been an award for? **EDIT...I think I found it after googling every which way but up...golf...maybe just ladies golf?**
There was quite a few items in the collection of trophies. Platters, cups and vases and I could kick myself that I didn't pick them all up! I asked how much they wanted for the jug and she said .... $2!!! SO SOLD!! I was so happy! Next time I won't leave anything behind...afterall..I am sure you would all love a little blog candy? I won't fail you again !! Promise!
MacIver came over then and I showed him the cutlery set in the box...a very pretty & elegant set of plated silver, 6 pieces of each item. I really did not need cutlery but I thought my newly wed son & his wife might. So I called him and he said they would. I asked how much and they said $10 (reduced from $25!!). SCORE! He was over shortly after we got home and so I didn't get a chance to take a picture but he was thrilled with them :-)
So of course now I am all excited to get out to other garage sales this Summer!
