This saturday Hackettstown, NJ had their town wide garage sales. There was so many garage sales, it was exhausting!! By 1 o'clock if you didn't get there early there was not much left. So I got some great stuff. I got a box of ironstone for $10 and it had 7 dinner plates, which were all in great condition, and 7 saucers, 7 dessert plates and 1 mug. The saucers were not in good shape, but that's ok I will use them as candle holders. Then I got 2 ironstone platters for $3 and 1 pitcher for $1. Not all the ironstone is in the picture, I am washing the rest of them.
Then I got the table decorating book for $1. The antique painting was $5 and not sure if it is a oil painting, but it definitely is old. I have to get used to it, it is very dark. And the other rose print was $2 it's not antique but for $2 I got it anyway, I thought it was pretty. I got more stuff to I got a shower curtain, it was in pottery barn package and was so excited it was $2 but it ended up being a nautica shower curtain. It was still a nice shower curtain. I also got a cute quilt, and my boy's got some nice stuff too!! I would love to know if anyone else got some nice garage sale finds too, please let me know!!

ReplyDeletewhat is the painting of roses done on? Does the back look like canvas? do you know how old it is? Are there tiny little cracks on the surface of the paint? If so, prob. oil. It looks like oil to me. I don't believe acrylic paints were around or used back in the olden days, and it is def. not a watercolor, so it is probably oil.
