After missing out on the Brimfield Flea Market this month, I took a trip to the White Elephant Shop outlet to make up for it. I've written about the great bargains to be had there in this post. The visit didn't disappoint!
I found this salvaged white spindle (next to the candlestick) for just $1, as well as this HEAVY iron scrollwork piece:
I was excited to also find two ironstone pieces, one of which is this jug holding lilacs from our bushes:
This neat chippy drawer was only $5. I plan to use it as an 'inspiration box', holding bits & pieces that I find compelling. You'll see I've included my pretty French script gift box and star ornament from the giveaway I won from Karen.
Lastly, here's a white wicker chair I rescued from my neighbor's curbside. I captured a photo on one of our rare sunny days. May hasn't felt much like spring, but here's hoping June is sunny and bright!
I'm sharing these with the 101st White Wednesday over at Faded Charm.
Don't forget to enter my French Farmhouse Style giveaway, which ends May 29th!

Susan, such Wonderful Whites! I just love the softness of your rooms and accessories. I'm a real softie for wicker chairs, and I've rescued a few in my day. I love the way yours looks with the vintage grain sack cushion. xxx

Great finds from the white elephant and your curbside white wicker chair is perfect Susan. I see that your lilacs are in bloom as well. They look so pretty in ironstone! Horray! Our first warm, sunny day in ages! Happy Memorial Day weekend.

The mantel looks fabulous! You found some cool things. I have a piece of iron scroll work that looks like it could be the same as yours and it is heavy for sure.
