white tuesday

a while ago, i signed up to play "white wednesday" with Kathleen of "faded
charm" ... and i remembered one time to do a white post ... pathetic ... while i
was trying to snap pics of my tree last week, i also took a few pics of some of
my favorite white things so i could play this week ... tomorrow i will be busy
making cookies ... so i thought i would do my post early ... my first pic is an
old cheese box that i filled with some of my most dearly loved things: cabinet
cards, some millinery, old lace on clothespins, and my little miss sweetie:

next is my favorite lamp shade ... i covered it with a fabric remnant from my

mil ... tied it up with a length of wide lace ... and embellished with a millinery
flower and a piece of vintage jewelry that i mounted on a piece of crochet lace
sewed into a circle ... i absolutely love how this looks ...

old spools wrapped in lace ... secured with a simple safety pin ...

and a pretty hankie remnant glued onto a little burlap bag ...

thanks so much for stopping over ... i hope to get around to see the other white
posts while my cookies are in the oven tomorrow ...

happy thanksgiving

i wanted to wish all of my american blogging friends a very happy and blessed
thanksgiving day ... i am so thankful this day for the friends i have made here,
and for the encouragement and inspiration you have given to me ...

i don't have any cute thanksgiving images to share ... so i thought i would show
you something i made the other day for my Christmas tree using a vintage baby
bootie that i had ... i made two of these ... one is for a friend ... hers is a little bit
different than mine ... and i will wait until she has it before i share it here ...

i hope you all have a beautiful day!

junkin' monday

so, i thought i would have to sit out for another junkin' monday ... this virus i have is just
kicking my rear end ... and i don't feel like doing anything ... but ... my peeps still have to
eat ... so when i went on my grocery store run thursday ... i thought since i was showered,
dressed and in the car, i would drive down the road to one of my favorite shops and see if
there was anything pretty there that caught my eye ... there was ... this oh~so~lovely
vintage glass hankie box all smothered in ribbons:

oh my! isn't it yummy?

the ribbons are deliciously faded and tattered ... just how i like them ...

that's it ... one little purchase ... but it is enough ... i love it so much ...

be sure to stop over to "nice and easy antiques" to see what everyone else
found for their "junkin monday" post!

i had my felting supplies out today ... and made this:

if i can get my computer to cooperate, i will be listing it here ...

i keep losing my internet signal ... so aggravating ... this is the first time since this morning
i have been able to get on my blog ... it took five attempts to complete this post ... i will be
around to visit you when i can!
