Welcome to "Trash To Treasure Tuesday" conceived & hosted by Diane at A Picture is Worth a 1,000 Words Be sure to go by her wonderful blog and check out the other participants for a fun treasure exploration....*
(click on any picture to enlarge)
I found this set of 6 pictures at an Estate Sale for only $6.00
The pictures are actually cloth over padding and measure
3"X4" and are in 5"X6" frames. Sorry about the glare. They are portraits of people from the Renaissance period.
*Have I gone to the dogs? Well, yes I have...I fell in love with these 16" pooches on a pedestal but didn't like the price of $15.00 and everytime I went back to this little Thrift Store I would want them...and almost a year later, the seller reduced them to $5.95....The original price from the manufacturer is still on the bottom and it is $29.99
Check out the puppy's little pink tongue in the picture on the right and their collars are so realistic too...
*
Some of you have seen "Myrtle"...she reminded me of my childhood Cocker Spaniel so much I had to get her for $20.00. She is 2' tall and when I brought her home my little Pomeranians were none to happy, but they have learned to"love" her...
*
You may remember my $1.00 mirrored pedestal from a garage sale...
I bought an $8.00 cloche at Ross & Voila! here she is...
*
And lastly, this $1.00 telephone from a garage sale...my grandson thinks it's so cool because it has a dial....
Thank you for stopping by to see my "trashy treasures"!

Hey Little Lady, I was getting ready to come bang on your door to see if you were alright, I haven't seen you lately. We are having a garage sale this weekend, it's in our community of 2,000 homes And each clubhouse is going to serve some kind of food. It's going to be huge.I know I'm going to clean out some of my junk. LOL
Hugs,
Chris
Nice work holding off for those dogs at such a cheap price! What a deal. Though I'm still shocked by that $1 telephone. It looks so cool. I could see it next to an old typewriter or other such items. Very beautiful.
I love all your trash to treasure items, Bo! Great finds!
Hi Bo,
I love all your finds!
Glad you played along!
Thanks for being such a sweet blogging friend!
Diane

Oh those are nice! I love that phone! Good bargains!
What fun meeting new people on Trash to Treasure Tuesday. I LOVE the dog treasures!! I am a doggy person and yes, poodles are very special.
I LOVE your blog and I'll be back to visit again! ♥
Mornin', Bo...I love everything you have shown us today...and I am such a lover of Trash to Treasures. I just can't wait to join in...had to do a VOTE post today, tho...just in case there is anyone left on the planet that doesn't know I want McCain for president....lol

Good morning Bo :)
Wonderful finds! I love that phone. Funny thing... Annie saw one of those the other day and didn't know how to work the dial. I can't belive it's been that long since we used those!
Have a great day :)

You really hit pay dirt on these fabulous finds.
Hi Bo, I am coming over through a comment I read by you over at Pat's Back Porch. Your comment inspired me somewhat...About Christmas decorating in the good and bad times. I had already made it up in my mind that I wasn't going to do as much this year...been sick with bronchitis and some other things going on too, but I realize that know matter what we are going through, Christmas is Christmas, and I should do as much as I can, to celebrate the JOY! I have never been to your blog before, but I will return often! Thank you so much, you will never know what that comment meant to me, and I don't usually read other blog comments. I love all your finds, that phone is fantastic! Blessings to you! Nancy
Happy Trash to Treasure day girl! You got some great treasures girl and what great prices on them! Have a fantastic day sweetie!
Hi Bo, Very nice finds. I especially love the telephone. It has a beautiful design to the base. Thanks so much for checking out my attempt at Tablescape Tuesday. It was fun! ~Warmly, Melissa
Good morning Bo, Your trash to treasures are wonderful. I want to join in but I haven't figured out anything to post. Maybe I am not looking at this idea the wrong way. I love Diane and really want to join in. We'll see. I especially love your 'Myrtle' and the telephone for a $1.00. I adore thrifty buys.
Thanks for your comments about the cabin. I loved decorating it like a lodge. The table and chairs and the book shelves are rustic. they match and the design is Grizzly Adams. I love them and of course they were a great sale price. The canoe coffee table was a find of my sisters. Lucky me.
Love, Jeanne
Good morning Bo! And all the while, I thought that dog was real in your previous photos. Those pictures are cool. I didn't know Ross sold cloches, but I'll have to look for one. Have a great day!
BO, I got that phone in my bedroom girl..brought it new back in 1984 I think from the phone store and it still works..Love the pictures..great finds...thanks for sharing..hugs and smiles Gloria
Well you can tell you grandson I had a phone just like it. Early 1970's. We saved and saved to be able to buy it. Where is it now?? Well, that is probably mine in your picture!!! Thanks for stopping by. I didn't know about this meme, but it is a good one. Will have to check it out!
Morning, Bo!! Great things! That's not a real doggie? That is so cute.
Thanks for approving of my cheating!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
I love those pictures! They would look great in my parlor, ok I'm a little jealous! Great Find!
What great finds! Narrow Dog would love your dogs!

Hi Bo....those pictures are sooo Nice! I like great finds like that! Too bad we weren't neighbors,we could go on treasure hunts!
There is no trash in your treasures...they are simply treasures!!! Nicely done with the pedestal! And I love those old time prints. What a good deal on a set like that.
Love that phone! And that mirrored pededestal is too cool!
Love the picture of your home in your banner BTW...it's just lovely!
Hi girlfriend... where you been??? Missed you... I really love all the items you got but my favorite are the pictures from the Renaissance period.. I am big on that time period... Love It... Have a great Tuesday...

Beautiful treasures, Bo ... especially the Renaissance pictures and that pretty phone. What a bargain for just a dollar.
Thank you for sharing them with us.
Sincerely,
Janie
Great finds. I love each one.
Hi Bo - Your patience really paid off in waiting for the poochies. I love the pictures from the Renaissance period. What are your plans for them? Also, the 2' high Spaniel is really cute. It reminds me of my grandparents' Cocker Spaniel, Patsy. That's one neat phone. Your treasures are wonderful.
Hugs,
Sweetie
Darling Bo!!! Your treasures are terrific!!!! I love the pics and the phone! GREAT FINDS!!!
xoxoxo
Donna
It looks like you are a great collector of treasures!!! I enjoyed looking at your pictures.
take care,

What lovely treasures! It always amazes me that "another man's trash is my treasure". Unfortunately, the ones I find usually are trash and take a lot to turn them into a treasure, but you have some real finds. Loved seeing all of them. laurie
Great treasures from the ?trash? !! Sorry, you can't have my red Fostoria - I'll be on guard, now. Sally
Thanks for sharing your treasures. I have so many things from garage sales, and you know it really is hit or miss. But the excitement of a really great item makes it worth it. You were tooooo funny when you commented on listening in on party line conversations. Remember picking up that receiver REAL slow???? I mean, that's what I heard people used to do. Ha
Hello dear Bo:-)
You're a gal after my own heart...I also love going to thrift shops and yard sales to find such treasures! You really did well in finding the goodies you posted today...great prices too!! Those dog statues are so cute, I'm glad your patience held out until the thrift shop reduced the price! lol xoxo
WOW, some great treasures!!! Love the phone!!
