(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"!
