Show and Tell Friday

TGIF!!!!  It's a cold, blustery day today in SW Virginia.  But the sun is shining and it looks like there will be great weather for the weekend ahead. 

I am participating in Romantic Homes Friday Show and Tell.  You can find some very inspiring, and creative ideas there.  http://romantichome.blogspot.com/  Pour yourself that second cup of coffee and pop on over there and be prepared to spend some time! 

This week I'm showing the rest of the goodies that I bought at the auction sale last month.  I admit, I went a little overboard, but I absolutely love everything that I bought and don't have a bit of buyers remorse.

 I love this Eastlake chair and got two of them that match.  I have two already that are very similar and I am going to use them with my antique table in my kitchen.  They are newly upholstered, however I'm not digging that color and will re-upholster in a color that goes with the cobalt blue in my kitchen.
 I love the detail on the top!
 This spinning wheel is gigantic!  It's called a great wheel and really, it's just too big for the space I have it in so it will probably go up for sale.  I really like it though.
 I loved the colors in this Austrian dish.
And last but not least, a Shirley Temple pitcher in great condition!

I am headed to an estate sale today at lunch.  About a month ago I went to a sale and bought this set of dishes:
I got a complete set except there were no cups to go with it.  Today they are selling the items in the basement of the same house where I bought the dishes.  I am hoping that perhaps the cups got separated from this set and may be somewhere in that basement!  Wish me luck!
Have a great weekend!

Those chairs are beautiful, I've always liked Eastlake furniture. They will make a beautiful dining room set.The rest of your goodies are really pretty too, this is the first time I've ever seen a Shirley Temple pitcher. I learn something new every day in blog land. Thanks for visiting.

Great finds, the chairs are beautiful. Thanks for stopping by my blog, I appreciate your visit and kind words. Good luck finding your cups!

Oh Sandy at Quill Cottage just got bit by the Eastlake bug. I think your chairs look elegant. Very nice spinning wheel, too. Too bad that it's not the right size for what you need. Next time!
