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

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:

Have a great weekend!
