White Wednesday photos


I thought I would post a few of my photos I have taken around my home ! And include them in a White Wednesday! I have a shelf that is above my patio doors and is long , I have a collection of creamy white pottery on it , for winter I have filled them with greens and added some of my vintage silver with some of my favorite snowmen I made many years ago !!
An angel that sits in a grouping that a dear friend gave me.
The glass bottle snowman is a vintage bottle that I took from my parents farm & repurposed into a snowman , which I have some similar here.
And an all white ceramic winter angel under a glass dome that sits in a grouping on top of a cupboard in my kitchen ( don't know if you can see my silver pottery vase in the background with a tree in it.. one of my most favorite finds)

Hope you enjoyed the stroll !

Tiny Lamp Re-Do




I have had this lamp forever , my sister gave it to me many years ago because she didn't want it . It has been one of those things always thinking ... need to re-do that lamp ! Well I finally did! It was a gold and I painted it with a Nickle spray paint, had to take the lamp apart to do which is easy. Also covered the shade with a burlap type fabric that I had stamped on . It is on an antique sewing machine, that sits at the bottom of my steps ( I live in a split level home) so is a dark area and hard to take a photo , even if there is a light above it. The sewing machine was my grandmothers, my dad is 96 years old , so that probably tells you that this sewing machine is also old ! Oppps , guess that would include me too !
Hope you enjoyed looking at my little re-do and sorry for the bad photos! Have a fabulous day !
Will be posting this on The Shabby Chic Cottage also !

Saturday Finds !


Has been awhile since I posted ! I have been under the weather for quite awhile and Iam just now starting to feel better , so I listed some finds in my SecondTreasures shop on Etsy ! The sweetest little baby dress with a pink hanger and pink buttons on a card , this would be adorable to hang in a nursery !I have a ton of vintage buttons and I am slowly working on a destash project ! Here I attached some black vintage buttons on some tags , also in my SecondTreasures shop!And I will also be listing a lot of vintage handkerchief's ! This is a set of two that I will be listing also . One is pink and the other yellow , same design with the tags on still !
Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend ! We got another three inches of snow yesterday so I should go and finish shoveling snow !!
The scalloped edged tags at the top of the post are in my The Little Things shop on Etsy !

Friday Flea Market & Fall is on it's way !

Friday Fea Market Link at the Bottom of this Post

I have been trying to get some fall things put out around my home this last week ! How fast summer went by , it seems I did not get everything I wanted to do done, as usual ! But it seems like fall is in the air & on it's way ! Some of the leaves are starting to turn, I don't know if this makes me happy or sad, I love fall and the fabulous weather we have , but then I also know that winter is coming ..... I have yet to ever want winter ! This is a photo of some treasures I have had for quite some time that I arranged under a glass dome. A vintage cut glass pitcher with some fall berries, a very very old little broom , a roseville pheasant and a card my sister made ( she is the card maker in the family ) ! Sitting beside the glass dome is a vintage hat that was my mothers, velvet leaves all in fall tones , how cool is that !? But I guess I would never be tempted to actually wear it !


Hope you take time on Friday to check out some of the vintage treasures I have listed !! This is the link to my Flea Market !! Hope you enjoy it !!
