A Little Antiquing

What was I thinking when I decided to go antiquing today in 96 degree heat?!  Ick!  I love the warm temps but I had no idea we would be in for such a heat wave so soon.  Nevertheless I left the house and off I went to hunt for treasure.  I found many things that I loved but my wallet didn't agree.  So I came home with only a small bag of goodies.

This sweet little dish caught my eye first.
I have a sizable collection of these little dishes that I have come across over the years.  This one will fit in nicely.  I love the bright pink and turquoise combo and the roses are just too charming! 

Next, I found some jewelry pieces begging to be revamped into something new!
Can you believe those huge yellow flowers are clip on earrings?!  They are a good 2" or so wide-I cannot imagine having them hang from my ears!  I'm thinking I will turn them into bracelets, what do you think?  The bee will likely become a necklace.

So that was it!  I was good even though I was tempted by quite a bit.  Now, if only the ice cream truck would come around I would be one happy girl!
