Vintage Marketplace!!

Hello Friends!

Last week was the fabulous Vintage Marketplace
in Rainbow, CA!
It was a beautiful, sunny day
and the vendors so charmingly displayed their wares.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words,
and since my old nemesis, tendinitis, is acting up,
roll camera!

Love this huge paper flower:

Big bundles of vintage lace and doilies:

Blue hydrangeas!!

Love this!

One of my fave vendors, Lisa Loria:

Next time I will show you the lovelies I took home with me!

And, since roses are the flower of the month

some rosy freebies for you:

Lucky, Lucky Girl!!

Hello Friends!
Yes, I AM a lucky girl, I won this beautiful mini-bag full of fabulous goodies

in a giveaway hosted by Debi of Life in My Studio!

The bag itself is lovely,

and there are so many beautiful things with which to create.
Thank you, Debi, I love it!!

I also received these lovely bags from my partners Denise, Marti and Thespa

in a French Mini-Market Bag Swap
hosted by the Marie Antoinette group.

We embellished little 3" x 5" muslin bags,
and tucked little goodies inside.

Aren't they gorgeous?
And they are so much fun to make!

But wait...the title of this post is Lucky, lucky girl...
Yes.
I won another giveaway!!

A big THANK YOU, Rhonda of A Little Bit French
for these wonderful goodies!

I have long drooled over the lovelies in Rhonda's shop.
She sewed this little lace pouch and tucked the lovelies inside.
Thank you Rhonda! It's beautiful!

Here's some pretty images of bouquet-bearing cuties for you:

Thrifty Finds and Tulips and Bees!

Hello Friends! I so want to get this post out to you all.But I also want to play with my baby girl who's visiting from NYC!So here's a little post of what I've been up to: I had one of those "stars in alignment" weekswhere I found some wonderful things at the thrift stores/estates sale,some of which I actually needed!OK, really wanted, anyway!

Do you even see that 25 cent price tag on those lovely linens and handkerchiefs?!

OK, if there's silver, even silverplate, and I have some dollars in my pocket, I'm buying it!

And, oh, I do love those little mirrored trays:

Is this not the sweetest little...um...OK, it's a little pocket with a flap, in perfect condition

with some sweet little embroidery on it...I'm thinking maybe a rosary pocket? Anyone?

Love this little Marie Antoinette style demi-tasse:

I always need serveware, and these are silverplate and especially pretty, I think:

I also got a bag of lace, some of which is handmade,

no picture, but it is lovely. I really do treasure women's handiwork.Also found some lovely china, which is to be a gift,so no pic on that yet. ;) OK. So, that brings me to....I needed a little thank you gift,and found a lovely Spring-y tin of tulips at Trader Joe's.I wanted to make it a little more special,so I added a little whimsical scallop around the top,

and embellished with a burlap handmade flower with rhinestone,

and added a little "merci" pennant.

I think it bumps it up a little from"I just stopped at Trader Joe's on the way here and got you this plant!" :) I hope.And so easy-peasy! Since there are bees swarming in my neighborhood this week--and I'm not complaining...because I respect bees and the work they do :)--here's a couple of beehive freebies for you:

Pink Saturday at Vintage Marketplace!

Last weekend Marti and I went to the fabulous
Vintage Marketplace in Rainbow, CA just north of San Diego.
It was a beautiful day to begin with,
and there was more beauty to be found at the market.
I'm going to reveal my pictures in themes, bit by bit,
because there are some gorgeous pics
that will make for some lovely future Pink Saturday posts!

This week will be my romantic theme:

A dreamy, sun dappled sofa to just fall into:

I love the vignettes that everyone stages,
it just adds so much to the romantic ambience.

It was a wonderful day,
and I will have more pics to share with you.

Thanks for visiting and for your comments,
have a wonderful weekend!

Thrift Store Thursday!

Oh, I have not been doing my rounds at the thrift stores lately, and a day like today makes me wish I had! I scored some lovely goodies...

OK, so it's just rick-rack, but it's ivory and there must be over 100 yards on this roll, and it's aged beautifully, hard to tell in the photo. And I can dye it.

Beautiful, dreamy vintage lots...
