Well, we arrive at the garage sale and she stops to ogle a two burner wood cookstove while I scanned the place and went directly to the most promising section. She says she's not going to take me with her to garage sales anymore, because I find the good stuff too fast. I told her she has to sharpen her eyes up a bit. Here's what I found.
And a brass peacock fire screen and fireplace tool set for $20.
I've been looking for the peacock fire screen for quite a few years now. I've been wanting one for over 15 years. And I've been sort of keeping my eyes open for a ginger jar for a few months. I can't tell you how excited I was! I think they go very well with the fireplace.

Love the ginger jar and the plate, they are such gorgeous colors and the pattern is beautiful on both. The fire place accessories are a fabulous find also. I think you did fabulously. Great finds. Hugs, Marty

Thanks so much for your visit and your very sweet comments on my Wilmington tour. I'm so glad you enjoyed it. You made some great finds at the garage sale! My MIL has a peacock firescreen, and they really are elegant. Your ginger jar and matching plate are great too. Thanks for sharing!
