Oh that swapmeet and a couple of blog trains

i hope you are having a WONDERFUL weekend! We went to the swapmeet this morning and found some treasures! :D
This lidded bowl was a dollar! no chips, no cracks! We believe it is cut glass but i think it's a BEAUTY!
lid bowl one dollar
Then i found two wire teapots, a dollar each.

Then i found this necklace, at least 24" and we think it's stone but not sure and this little ladybug pendant watch, for only three dollars!
three dollar total
here's a closer look:

All those lay strait when it is on, it's askew from laying flat! But it is really PRETTY!
And the next four items was such a deal for $15.00!! plus a bunch of dried flowers that looked really nice but i didn't get a photo of them, they are JUST dried flowers!hehe
These fairies sit about a foot high:
1part of15 dollar lot about 12"
This little angel sits about a foot high too:
4part of l5 dollar lot 12"
And if that wasn't enough!! The vendor included these that i was eyeing:
2 & 3part of l5 dollar lot
i wish the close up of the pillow looked better than it does here:

because it doesn't quite show the quality of the pillow's embroidery and jewel and ribbon work! And the comforter feels all silk like but i don't really know, just thought it was BEAUTIFUL! :D
Oh and then the husband bought some stuff, like baseball cards and such! hehe But mostly he helps me carry bags!! lol We both truly enjoy looking at the whole variety of things there though! oh and meeting the vendors is ALWAYS nice!! some who sell there weekly, ya get to know on some basis and that is always GREAT! really makes it a friendly way to shop! hehe
Just before i came to blog i checked One World One Heart again and it had 794 participants joined in! i do hope you stop in and join in the FUN too! :D
Before i go, i wanted to share with you two blog trains i found, with TONS of freebies! One i found at Scrapping Cop and the second i found here . Please remember to leave a thank you if you download!! it is totally appreciated by all the designers! :D
Now i am off to get a few more things done before i head off to bed! Thank you soooo very much for your visits and comments!! They really keep me smiling! :D Hope you have a WONDERFUL evening!!

I love all your swap-meet finds. It is good to know that someone else likes that kind of stuff, although I don't have the opportunity as much anymore. We downsized our living space, so I have no place to put all theffun stuff. Besides, I have several things on shelves in the cabin store room. Any time I want to go to a garage sale - I go there, and pull out a treasure that has not yet found a place in the house. LOL.

Have a great day Shirley!

It is snowing here

Thanks for visiting my blog through OWOH. I'm spending the afternoon doing a little blog hopping.

Good Morning Shirley - Looks like you had a great Superbowl Sunday!

Wow look at all that equipment - looks like they were doing some serious training exercises! We too get those explosions but from the Boron plant and blasting, whole house and windows shake and they are quite a ways away!

Just checking in - Big Hugs and keep on finding the great Swap meet treasures - they are great!

Hugs, Robbi and Mike

I love when you go hunting!!!!

I swear you find the best stuff!! The little watch ladybug might just be a vintage find, they were popular in the late 60's and they are acually remaking them today! great find!

The beads are pretty, but the pillows, wow they are super fantastic!!

Hope you have a great weekend!!!
