We find plate pieces buried in our gardens...

Hubby will be digging and I'll toss myself down

to rescue a chip! Perhaps that is why I enjoy gardening!

It's one big treasure hunt~

We found a new little tea cup at a local antique shop.

Chipped, cracked and stained~

It cost less than a candy bar...

Much fewer calories, too!

Hope you find some fun finds~
