My Latest Pretties

If you read this blog, I bet you adore finding vintage treasures like I do! There is nothing like looking through a messy table or a dirty old box and finding a treasure that makes your heart beat faster!! Sounds crazy but it happens. It's the thrill of finding something wonderful from the past. Something that has a story or two behind it. I dream of what that story might be. Sometimes, the owner is gracious enough to share the history of it. I love that! These are a few of my latest finds. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

    Lisa, I love all of your items! And you have it all so artfully arranged. Where do you find most of your things? I have upgraded to a larger booth at Just Plain Country Antiques and Collectibles. You should visit there!

    Thank you Gina! I find them mostly estate sales. I haven't been to any auctions yet but it might be fun! I would love to see your booth! Next time I am in K-ville, I will stop by. What's your booth number?

    Hi Sandra, It is really fabulous and much more roomy than it looks! I sold it last weekend in Charlotte to a really sweet girl out of California!

    Love all your finds, especially the 3 white graveside flower holders. So many ways to re-purpose them.
