Sharing Vintage

Please join me in the party over at Debra's.  You'll find plenty of inspiration there.  Here are a few vintage items I've used in my decor.

 I love these little vintage tables.  I found this one at an antique store and painted it white.  I really enjoy decorating it.
I'm not sure how old this bowl and ewer are, but it has a vintage look regardless of its age.
 I think this little Limoge plate has a vintage look.  I bought it for $1.00 at a thrift store. The little dome was also a dollar.
 These old chippy dishes belonged to my mother and my mother in law.  I know they are old.  The creamy color is so wonderful.  I remember eating off the white plate when I was little, and believe me, I'm vintage.  :)

Don't forget now, come over to Common Ground and join in the party!

Have a great weekend y'all!!!

    I love your vintage things and oh yeah, they do look vintage, not you though! I love your little table with the bunny and that pretty pitcher. The Limoge's dish is beautiful and so are your mom's plates...isn't it great to have things like this plates, that we've used when little? I love this. Thank you for sharing. I'm at Pink Saturday. Have a nice weekend.

    white dishes always hold their charm. I have stacks of them, that I've not used, but just enjoy looking at. and that table is just like the one I recently paintd from my husband's grandparents. Thanks for linking up to VIF, have a great weekend, xoxo Debra

Linens & Things

I love finding tablecloths, runners, napkins, and other linens when I am out thrifting. Whether it be at consignment shops, GW, or yard sales, I will usually snap up a pretty linen if it doesn't have a lot of stains.  I will show you some of my favorites. I found several pieces embroideried with this design at a favorite consignment shop. This blue runner (reversible to stripes), found on consignment. This is one of the nicer quality tablecloths I have found, $4.00 at a thrift store. This cloth was around $10.00 on consignment. This runner is also reversible to polka dots, and was a consignment find. This pink and white gingham is perfect in the sun room, and is a consignment find also. This is the most valuable table cloth I have found, and it was $2.00 at a nearby yard sale.  It is a vintage Wielunder.  They sell on ebay for 30 - 90 dollars.  Mine is in pristine condition! Christmas tablecloth, consignment sale.   Consignmen

Trash to Treasure

We had noticed this "jar" sitting near a trash pile, and my husband decided to see what it was.  It was full of dirt, and covered in grime.  After soaking it a while, it looked much better. The shape and color is very nice. At first I thought it might be a globe for a lamp or some type of candle holder. The bottom has an opening, and no markings. Do you know what it might be? This is how I'm using it. It's made of thick bubbled glass. Any guesses?? Know what this was in its former life?   It makes a wonderful vase for faux flowers! It's a vintage fly /wasp trap!!   Once yucky, now pretty!!!

What's in the Hutch?

Yesterday I awoke in the mood to do some "deep" cleaning.  First on my list was to dust inside the china cabinet in the dining room.  Can you believe how much dust can get into a closed cabinet.  Really, how does that happen?  My cabinet has glass shelves and they were hazy with dust.  This is a rather tedious job because I not only have china inside, I have all kinds of little "pretties" stored there too.  It's one of the first things you see upon entry into our home, so I really should do this more often.  I want show you the before, sufficeth to say, it had been a while since I had tackled this chore.  Here are some photos showing the "after". Here is a collection of vases and crystal pitchers .   These were all gifts except the smallest one in the front and the one to the right of it. China and a consignment shop cake plate.  The china was formerly my MILs. More china . This little fairy lives here with her 2 sisters. They can all be seen
