(you guessed it- cell phone pics- sorry)
Here's the other side- This sweet little settee and matching chair just sold today for $345.00. And now a few pics of this weeks finds- some went straight to the shop before I had a chance to photograph them.
The large picture is a Tarkay print and was just $5.00- The little dresser below (with the linens in the drawer) was $30.00 and sold in just one hour for $125.00!
Here's another Tarkay also $5.00. Now onto some auction finds...
This box of vintage books was $7.00 and will be used in a wedding I'm decorating next week- can't wait to show you all the fun stuff were doing- Purple, Black and Gold- Victorian Wedding- LOVE.
This piece of art work is 5 feet by 4 feet- HUGE! I'm not really into the artwork part of it, but the frame is to die for and will be an amazing feature at the Victorian wedding. A splurge at $50.00- but I still think I can turn a profit on it after the wedding.This little spindle table was just $4.00 at a garage sale.
I was so anxious to start this piece that I began to disassemble before taking a before picture. Another auction splurge at $100.00- but I think it will be a $395.00 beauty for the shop when I'm done- we'll see.
And finally, if you've been reading My Dear Trash for a while you know I love me a french style dresser- what could be better?
Two french style dressers. I picked up these matching beauties at auction- one for $50 and the other for $55- I've already painted them black with light distressing and will be using them for cake and food at the wedding next week- but I'm sure they'll bring in $150 each at the shop when that's over. Things are a little crazy right now- but crazy is good, right? Let me know what you found this weekend. Love, Kelly.
Great finds. I'd be tempted to keep that Victorian painting; it looks like something that should hang in a gallery or museum!
ReplyDeleteSo do you mind sharing how the shop logistics work? Do you pay a flat fee per month or do you pay them a percentage of sales, etc.?
I love your finds! Would you mind sharing what thirft stores you shop?
