Quails & Candle Holders

I am so excited that it is finally garage sale season again!  I love spending Saturday mornings outdoors searching for possible treasures.  I’ve been to a couple of garage sales so far this year.  On a recent trip, I found some cute decorative items, including these quail birds.  From doing some Googling, I believe these birds are from the ‘70s.  I picked them up thinking I’d paint them white, but now I’m thinking they’d look cute in a glossy bright color.  What do you think?



At the same garage sale, I found these turquoise candle holders.  At first I wasn’t sure if I should get them because I have about a billion candle holders, but I bought them because I don’t have any quite like this and I love their color.  (Yes those candles are different heights, but that’s all I could find at home.)



I am SO happy I bought them because I absolutely love how they look in my dining room!



I think the turquoise looks gorgeous next to a bowl full of (faux) colorful citrus fruit.  And they look a little tropical next to natural fiber placemats.



I am just in love with the candle holders and they make me smile every time I walk into the dining room. 
Have you done any garage sale shopping this year?
