treasure hunts

every once in awhile

i like to go on little treasure hunts. 

i like to scour stores to find great little surprises

for great little dollars. 

goodwill is where x marks the spot. 

it is certainly hit or miss,

but i surely get lucky every so often.

would you believe me if i told you 50 percent of my home 

is furnished a la good will?

it is true.

a trained eye.

some sand paper.

a paint brush.

a gallon of your fave hue

some extra time on your hands.

and you've got your self a little treasure. 

along with a great sense of 

accomplishment.

historically,

{my lovie always says that. i think it sounds so intelligent}

so, yes, historically, 

i would shop the good wills looking for furniture to refurbish.

but i have crossed the line, friends.

who knew good will had such a selection of crystal?!

look at this beauty.

oh, wait. it gets better.

look at all these beauties.

this was such a great find.

11 authentic. vintage. champagne glasses.

with gold trim.

i die.

here is the kicker. 

all 11 cost a grand total of

twenty two dollars.

like i said. i die.

they are perfect paired with my gold treasures from pier one.

{thanks to carrie and shannon for my great bowls}

aren't they just stunning?

they are so my kinda thing.

these could certainly be used for sipping champagne.

but i see myself using them to serve dessert.

i was dying to use them, 

so i decided i would surprise my lovie when he got home from work.

{i totally endorse skipping dinner & going straight to dessert}

ta-da!

a pretty treat.

in a pretty glass.

on a pretty plate.

for my handsome lovie. 

i am so thrilled with these little treasures. 

i can hardly wait to host a dinner party with all my pretty goldies.

oh, and remember these little butter dishes?

these were the treasures i found at silverqueen.

on sale for essentially nothing.

perfectly small. 

perfectly elegant.

perfectly perfect for all my new gold goodies.

anyone up for a treasure hunt?!
