Best Buy #2

13 years ago

Here is my next project. I have been going to an antique store nearby my house for years. I told the owner, Millie that I was looking for nice, but cheap things for garden art. She gave me a beautiful glass light fixture that wasn't worth anything to her. I found this tea set for $8.50 and she gave it to me for $5.00. She can't wait to see what I am doing with the things I have been collecting.

Plates will look good in a totem. Love that teapot but in garden might look great pouring out "hens & chicks". Maybe cups could be part of wind chimes! Jan
