Friday/Saturday Finds 2

Monday 18 January 2016

Hello and Welcome,

My husband, son-in-law, and I went to a few estate sales on Saturday. They are not having as many right now as they have in the summer months, but we had fun and this is what I found, well, at least the vintage(y) things I found. I won't show you the Corelle plates or the tongs, okay.


 
Doesn't this little dish just belong at a tea party? It is so sweet. I think this was the best find of the day!

 
This picture does not do this lace justice. It is a very pretty rose pink. I can't wait to find the perfect project to use it on - a pincushion somehow?


These are pillowcases and I will share them with you in closer detail at a later date.

 
This is a very sweet dresser scarf/table runner. The lady who did these embroideries did beautiful work.

 
Oops, there's the tongs. These bands and lids fit on mason jars and just looked like they would be fun to have on hand, you just never know when you might need a cute little gift - maybe a jar stacked full of chocolate chip cookies with a cute little lid just might cheer someone up.


I think this is a handkerchief, if it is it is a large one. It is so pretty though, I could not resist it. I was thinking I might use it like a doily under a dish or a tiered tray on the tea table.
 



Just a simple little handkerchief. I cannot resist them. They are all so sweet with their little works of art. I will show you a close-up of this one at another time.
 
I apologize for the pictures. I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be a photographer. My children do not all have flat heads as some might presume from their childhood pictures.
 
And, in my defense, I would like to say that our house has cave lighting, or maybe it would be more positive to call it romantic lighting, either way it does not make for nice pictures. I promise to work on this problem. Please, sit back, pull your tray into an upright position, and bear with me.
 

 
Thank you for visiting and I hope you have some fun today!
Terrie
