Brass is Back!

Over the weekend I had a little brass attack! First I popped into Homesense to do a quick once over vowing to myself before I entered not to buy any thing Christmas related--repeat in head "No Christmas!" What is it with that store that so sucks me in when it comes to holidays? Anyhoo, while I was browsing the isles I spied this amazing tray...I just plunked down some flowers and books for the photo to hide the price sticker because I was too tired to try and get that sucker off. (Stickers and why I hate them is for another post!)

Right away I knew it was good quality and probably came from a higher end manufacturer and I also knew that I had seen it before somewhere.

 $59.99

After a little digging look what I found...

 $400.00

The very same tray! My lucky day! 

Then on Sunday I was driving near my house and out of the corner of my eye I see this brass and glass table. I skidded to a stop (with a fire truck on my bumper) and yelled at my husband to get out and put it in the back of the car. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he did eventually jump out and snag it. 

 It's heavy brass and is in almost perfect condition, just needs a good cleaning.

It looks very similar to this one...I found here

  $785.00

 Have you found any bargains or curb side gems lately??
