#1 I thought this was beautiful. A person in my apartment complex was throwing it out and I grabbed it with a smile. It is wood and extremely heavy. I will be polishing it with orange oil later. What do you guys think? Good find?

Immediately I knew it was my mums who i lost way back in 2005. I didnt even need to see her signature. So this is 29 years old and i couldnt tell you when i saw it last, closer to 91. Also im about an hr and a half from where my mum lived her whole life. My birthday was just 3 days ago and i definitely feel this was her saying happy birthday and giving me the gift of something she made. I feel so lucky and am pinching myself still

#5 My grandmother made this many years ago. She passed in 2012 and it is now in my uncle's possession, but he sent me a photo and hopefully it will eventually be MINE!

It's one thing I really looked forward to seeing at Christmas every year. It even has pieces that actually belonged to family members, including a boy scout pin from the 40s.

#6 This was left in a house I was cleaning out. I can’t read the artists signature but it has such amazing detail. If you zoom in on the road there are two people. I Don’t know who painted it but I thought it was beautiful.

#13 Helping my friend move today and scored this little beauty.

She sat down on it until the manager walked by to find out how much it was selling for. It was over the amount she had in her pocket so she sat on it until her sister came with the rest of the money. My daughter wanted to surprise me for Mother’s Day! When we went to pick in up the next day, the manager was so moved by my daughter’s gesture that it brought her to tears!
Update: I am so overwhelmed by the response and outpouring of love for my daughters, family, couch and my home! I appreciate it beyond words and thank you all so much for the amazing and kind comments and am working on reading every one of them! My great kids (I have two teenage sons also) and my husband sometimes think I’m a little crazy but they embrace my thrifted, vintage style and always tell me how “cool and unique” our home is. Everything I have in every room is thrifted and vintage. I’ve been collecting for years.

She decided to give me some of her teacup set. She has a large mismatching collection because when she had her wedding shower, the tradition at the time was for each guest to bring a teacup and saucer. There are more that I haven’t been able to pack home with me yet, but I love them all

#19 No idea what this is, but I still bought it for 2.99 at Goodwill, has a sticker on bottom that says “made in Egypt”. My first thought was a perfume bottle because of the lid thing.
