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:
