Antiques, China, Linens and More...

A visit to an antique haven stuffed to the rafters with thousands of items equals pure enjoyment for bargain-hunters.

On a recent excursion with a dear friend, she introduced me to a shop called "Great Finds" in a small New England town called Sheffield.

Its contents lived up to its name.

It's a great place where one could camp out for a couple of days and still not see all there is to see.

China, crystal, linens, books, jewelry and paintings are a mere smattering of what can be found there.

My friend bought this charming plate:

Items I left behind (but would go back for ) include a petite deep amethyst pitcher and  a red and white embroidered table cover from Europe. (I'm not sure what country it's from but I think it could be Poland or the Ukraine.)

A light turquoise Mason jar filled with sparkling baubles from a chandelier came home with me. 

I'll be working on a $10 chandy found at Restore for ten bucks but that's another post all together.

Oh yeah. Summertime and the treasure-seeking is easy and fun!
