These little praying pilgrims belonged to my mother.
Since I have so little bare wall space remaining in my home, my heart sang when I saw these Quimper door push plates at Brittany Byways. I knew I could find a spot for these skinny little treasures – not on a door though – that would be way too normal for me!
At a recent estate sale, I felt like Linda at A La Carte when I spotted this set of 3 Pyrex bowls for $5.00! Linda finds fabulous deals on Pyrex and everything else.
Last week, I showed you a chair I bought for $7.50 at a recent auction. At the same auction, I bought this table for $12.50. (Can you tell I was increasing the bid in fifty cent increments? I bet that auctioneer wanted to kick me out of the auction!) If I was as brave as Kim at Savvy Southern Style and had the furniture-painting talents of Kim and all of you other bloggers, I would paint this table white and try a little distressing. I may work up my courage and give it a try some day (or maybe I’ll just take it with me to visit one of you bloggers who paint so beautifully, and
Aren’t God’s Fall creations just beyond amazing? I’m loving the beauty of God’s paintings this week!

Love that pretty orange plaid ribbon that you used on the cloche too! Wow...I have never seen door plates done in the Quimper before...how very unique! They're gorgeous, my friend!!! I enjoyed looking at a few of your favorite treasures today...thank you for sharing them with us! And...thank you sooo much for hosting another Saturday Favorites party for us to enjoy!!!
Have a wonderful weekend, sweet friend!

Oh my, is that pilgrim lady under the glass dome carved out of wood? I love her! And the plate she sits on is wonderful. I can see why all of these things are your favorite things Laurie!
Lovely!
I'm such a copycat .... I too love all the things you love !

Your Thanksgiving figures are adorable, and the pyrex bowls and autumn leaves.
Wonderful favorites Laurie! i have to admit, my MOST favorite are the praying pilgrims. They are just so adorable!!
Laurie, I'm thrilled your have a set of the door plates. I have a singel one that a friend gave to me. I don't have mine on a door either. ;-)
Your pilgrims are sweet and truly special that they belonged to your mom. Thanks for hosting! I always love to see what you and others have to share. ~ sarah
Laurie I am loving your tour of favorite things today. That Pyrex Butterprint set of bowls for $5 score! Wow! Thanks for joining Junkin Finds Friday and I will be back to join in favorite things.
Laurie you have the best stuffs!! (Yes I added the 's' on purpose cause I liked it better *winks*) The quimper push plates are so fab! (Can I borrow them along with the chair?) And that little table is a cutie too! I had almost the same one painted gold (It came that way) I ended up selling it, and of course now that I've seen yours I wish I hadn't. And I also want to know if the little pilgrim lady is made out of wood? Sooooo cute! But my favorite of all are the those darling little pilgrims from your mom. They're so perfect displayed under the cloche. Vanna
Oh Laurie, love all of your pilgrims. They are so pretty. Your quimper is stunning too. Don't you know that Debbie would love those. The fall pictures are fabulous. I sure miss that living in the desert. No fall. Hope you have a super weekend. Hugs, Marty
Hello Miss Laurie,

That's what I love about your finds!
They are always so unique and charming and fun too!

Cindy
Love your little table just the way it is!
Sally
I love it all, but especially the little pilgrim girl under a cloche! Lezlee
The colors are so pretty. I too, love the pilgrims!!
The little praying pilgrims are so adorable!!
Thanks for sharing your treasures. I bet you could do a great redo on the table. I have a pyrex bowl with that design, but the colors are reversed. It is aqua with white design. Exposing my age, but it was a wedding gift in the 60's. :-D
Have a great weekend.
What a wonderful posts! I'll try to join in next week! I love Favorite things and I'm enjoying the links! Hugs! ♥
Hi Laurie! I love your favorite things too! Those little pilgrims are darling!!

Beautiful treasures. Love the table and the leaves are fabulous!
Have a wonderful weekend.
You have so many pretty items, Laurie. I love them all!..Christine
What a great showcase of favorites! I am loving that table...fabulous price and those little pilgims, too cute!
Blessings!

oh don't paint the table, treasure the wood, sand down and restain, but no paint, plz....that's my affection for wood & the grain showing. I have not ever seen those type of skinny door plates. I love those pyrex bowls! Such bargains you accumulate!
What fun! I especially loved all your gorgeous fall foliage - God does, indeed, do AWESOME work! Loved the Pilgrims too. I was blessed to pick up a set of three at Michael's Crafts (one of my favorite shopping store things) for 75% OFF - hooray :)
By the way, another of my family things is family memories and thanks to Salonpas and their great pain relief patches, I have a giveaway at SandwichINK.com for samples along with two really nice wireless digital photo picture frames. Just pop on over and comment to enter.
Have a blessed week. :)
Those door plates are fabulous...I have yet to buy a piece of the coveted Quimper...I am sure I will break soon, though!
Love the praying pilgrims. I never heard of door lates, nut I like them. Thanks for hosting.
You know, I see these gorgeous painted projects in Blog Land. But me with a paint brush is a scary thing!
Brenda
Laurie I love your cloches. Very nice!
Sherry

Great fall photos Laurie! Lovin' the little praying pilgrims, thanks for hosting:@)
Thank you for sharing your seasonal spirit with Seasonal Sundays!

I had to smile at your comment about not having anymore wall space. I think I've covered every square inch available and now that were selling our house I have to take it all down and find a place to store it!
Those door plates are fab! I think that table would be great painted - it's not hard.

Oh my gosh blogger let me leave a comment today :)
I try to visit your blog as often as I can but I have been having a lot of problems with google,blogger etc..the past few months so sometimes comments show up and sometimes they don't !
I love your blog so many fabulous things to see
Be blessed my friend and have a wonderful Thanksgiving .
Big Texas Hugs
Until next time
Happy Trails
Hi Laurie, Just checkin in to see what was new. I always am so entertained at your blog! I love the bargains you always seem to find. Your favorite things are really great! You are right, however, we seem to change our favorites as much as once a day..for me anyway!
Now why do you have to paint that table?? It looks like it is in good shape. I like it the way it is!
Love your little Pilgrims, you have so many wonderful collections!
Getting in at the last minute, but I made it. Thanks for hosting, Laurie!
I just love those pyrex bowls. They were a great buy.
Hi again, Laurie!! I love your little Quimper thingys! I could never afford these little treasures!! Your table is so sweet and the Pyrex was a great deal I saw a set of those a couple of weeks ago in an antique shop and they were around $30! You're good.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
