Welcome to Trash to Treasure! Please add your link to a post that features a treasure you've gotten that someone else didn't want. I look forward to visiting you!
This week I'd like to show you two finials I've gotten recently-one at a thrift store, and the other at a garage sale. This pineapple finial came from the Hope Village Thrift store and cost $4.00. It has a $39.99 price tag on the bottom. There is a small piece broken off about the size of a fingernail on one side. You have to be really looking for it to find the flaw. I think it was part of a donation made to the thrift store from a furniture company that also sells accessories. I'm using it on our staircase now, but may use it in the garden later.
This finial is used as a bookend on my library table. It came from a garage sale and cost $3.00. I really love the coloring and style of this one.
Which one do you like best? Thanks for coming by, and please consider posting a link to a post on your blog.

I like the second one best... no real reason....
Great finds!
Both are pretty, Diane, but I love and collect pineapples, so I like the first one best. Great finds!
Sincerely,
Janie
Both are great deals but I have to say I like the first one best...I have a thing for pineapples.
The color of the second one is awesome but I think I read somewhere the pineapples are good luck in a home.

More great finds for you. I like them both, but I think I am partial to the pineapple.

I love love love the pineapple one.
These always remind mw of Williamsburg, VA...one of my all time favorite spots. Pineapples are the sign of hospitality. I like where you have it diplayed!
They are both nice but I like the 2nd one best.
I have one like the pineapple. I painted it a textured concrete color and use it in the garden. It has an old chippy garden piece look. I like both of your finials.
I love them both, but you can give me the pineapple one if you want to!!:-)

Hi Diane, I'm so busy entertaining my cousin from MI, I am having a hard time getting on my computer. Your pineapple is beautiful and I would have bought it in a heartbeat. A wonderful find. Your finial is lovely too. You have a great eye for bargains. I know I have said it before but it is true. A great find that is a treasure.
I want to play along but I am thinking about what I can share. I need to hit the thrift stores soon. smile.
Hugs...Jeanne
Beautiful, Diane! You find the most wonderful things. Love that pineapple.
Thanks for the visit and be a sweetie,
Shelia :)
Hi Diane! Stopping by to visit for the 1st time. Your thrift shop finds are wonderful (and the prices :-)
One of my headboards has carved wood pineapple finials. Doesn't the pineapple signify friendship? Not sure, but you have two great treasures there. Will visit again!!
xoxo

The pineapple is definitely my fave, Diane ... thanks for hosting, and have a wonderful week!

I like them both. My husband had told me about the pineapple being a symbol of welcome, so I will have to choose that one.

Diane, does it tell you how out of it I was this morning that I posted my link WITHOUT posting to YOU??? Oh, I feel like a dunce!
Love your finials. I'm sorry I have been MIA. I'm just now online at 11:00 p.m. Next week I hope to do better.
XO,

They are both very nice designs, but I'd have to pick the lovly pineapple one since it is a motif I collect.
I love the symbolism of the pineapple; it means, "welcome."
They are both beautiful....dang you are great at spotting a wonderful bargain!!!
