Fun White Finds!

For my White Wednesday post this week, I thought I'd share some of the things I found at a few sales this past weekend. First, I bought these adorable head vases!I don't know a whole lot about them...but they are really cute!
The owner was selling her collection and I bought the only 2 left!!

I love the bright red lips!!

Then, on a more primitive note, I found this wonderful spittoon in it's original creamy, chipped-up paint!!

Filled with late summer flowers!


I got this beautiful dresser lamp for a song!!

The gentleman informed me that there were 2, but he dropped one of them!! :(

Like a bull in a china shop I guess!!!!!

I also picked up this cute little vanity stool!
The fabric on top is very dirty. I'm going to try cleaning it first, then if all else fails, I will re-cover it!

I love the curvy legs--they remind me of ice cream parlor chairs!

I only had time on Friday to hit 3 sales, so I guess I didn't do too bad!! I'm grabbing my linky from Kathleen at Faded Charm again for my favorite---White Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by! Come again!

Craft Room Re-arranging

I finally found the ambition to do some cleaning and re-arranging in my craft room. It's been terribly hot and humid here, so it takes some extra doing for me to round up any ambition at all!! But this room desperately needed some attention! So on the two hottest days of the summer thus far (crazy - I know!) I finally got around to getting some badly-needed cleaning finished!! I didn't add anything new, I just moved around the stuff I've accumulated and gave it a new look!!I've been collecting vintage garden items for awhile now and have fun showing them off!
I'm always on the hunt for more things to add to my collection! You can never have enough flower frogs!!

The inside of the bottom seed box is prettier, but the top one is divided--easier to display my vintage seed packets.

I purchased the cute yellow watering can from my friend Jeanine of Chippy-Shabby
at one of her fabulous sales several years ago. It's a keeper!!

I moved this cute little cupboard to a different wall and hung my repro penny rug above it. I really love the way this all came together!!

This is the spot where I do alot of my photo shoots ~ the sunlight in here is perfect!

I love this ironstone tureen! I think it needs to stick around for awhile ~ lots of display possibilities! Like ornaments at Christmas time!

Sepia-toned vignette!

I bought this jar of tomato pincushions on Etsy - so fun! Made the baby shoe one and the other one is old. I think my pincushions are my favorite collection! Have I mentioned that before!?!

Cute little what-not shelf!

Added this architectural piece to my clock shelf.



I would have liked to participate in the Where Bloggers Create party, but I just didn't have my act together in time! I'm also looking for a few key pieces in this room yet. So maybe when it all finally comes together, I will do a complete showing!!

Thanks again for stopping by!!

Lovelies and Lace

For White Wednesday this week, I am featuring a special spot in my bedroom that has some of my favorite vignettes!!I have a couple little doll dressers ~ One is in the bathroom and holds some of my jewelry and this little cutie is empty for now, but it is so much fun to display with!!
I love the little hand painted ducks and bunnies! I'm saving this itty bitty coin, maybe doll purse to make a necklace with.....or maybe not!! It's fun just havin' it hanging around for now!

I love these hands in various sizes and styles. The large one is a rubber glove form.

More shabby pretties on my recently purchased plateau mirror!! I LOVE IT!!

This dresser houses all my "pretties" in here and also my favorite picture of my mother taken a couple years ago at Christmas!

At a couple of the sales I've been to lately, I've found some wonderful pieces of old lace!

This piece has the prettiest flowery pattern!

Fun ducks too!



Creamy yumminess!!!

I'm joining in on the White Wednesday Party once again with Faded Charm!

I hope you enjoyed all my whites for this week and that you get a chance to go visit all the other wonderful blogs featuring their whites too!

My warmest greetings, blogging friends....Julie

Vintage Black Friday-Antique Tintypes

I love the look of "ancient ancestors" in any form or from any era. But I especially love the black patina of old tin types! They are timeless, even in their advanced state of age, and add such a wonderful aura to any little vignette.Sweet and chubby!
I love how this woman towers over this man!

These dudes look like miners or lumberjacks!

Such a stately fellow!

This guy is actually rather handsome~he probably had this taken for his sweetheart!

Heaven forbid you would crack a smile!

This young woman's hair was plated~and she really "filled out" her dress!

These are my contributions to Vintage Black Friday hosted by the French Cupboard!

Thanks for stopping by...hope you enjoyed your stay!!

Please come again!!

Early Autumn Flea Market!!

I just signed on to do an early autumn flea market!! It is being held inside the former Pilgrim Country Store in Germantown , Wisconsin. I am starting to set aside some wonderful vintage smalls and other go-alongs for display and to sell! I am really excited to get out and do a flea market--it's been a long time!
So keep checking back as I will be showing some little peeks at my vintage wares!!

White Finds!

On my latest junking jaunt, I brought home some great finds including some that I'm featuring today for White Wednesday with Faded Charm!3 Lovely vintage pearl necklaces, rose pin and a shabby cupid picture ~ all displayed in this darkened silver basket!
This one has 3 strands, but the other two are single strand ~ so chic and pretty!

I found these wonderful apothecary type jars at Goodwill.
These would be great in a bathroom, or on a mantle or shelf!

Found this embossed pot at Goodwill too ~ gotta love that GW!!

Sweet lone little vintage cup with fruit...
Spotted at a garage sale this week!

This was my favorite find of the week...

Gorgeous, fun 50's beaded bracelet!!!


Also found the plate under it too!

It's in excellent condition ~ such a fun piece of vintage BLING!!


Thanks once again for visiting me as I join in the White Wednesday linky party hosted by Faded Charm!

I hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far!

Thrifty Finds

I paid a visit recently to my local Goodwill and found a few sweet little things! I love this lady figurine which I do believe is the top of a pincushion. The little Japan cup and saucer is just as cute as a button!! Also found this embossed pot ~ again I think this may be a Mc Coy!! Also scored these nice restaurant china bowls too.

Sweet pieces of vintage jewelry ~ a pin with lovely baubles and a souvenier bracelet from Washington D.C.

Then on Friday morning I stopped at about 5 or 6 garage sales--and I was rather successful!

These are such fun! Vintage store display pieces for sunglasses! I just wish I had a slew of old glasses to display on these!*! I paid a whoppin' 25cents each for these cuz the lady was cleaning out and wanted to get rid of them!! Happy day!!

At another sale I found this awesome old paper umbrella! I LOVE the pretty graphic blue & white!



She also had some lovely china pieces ...

wonderful biscuit tin with great color and a lovely old comb!

I found a few other things, but I'm saving all the white stuff for my next White Wednesday post!


But for today, I'm joining Linda at Coastal Charm for Nifty, Thrifty Tuesday!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Thriftin'!!!
