Vintage Treasures

Today I promised to show you the sweet treasures

I found at the antique shop we stopped at 

in my last post. 

I couldn't resist this embroidered tablecloth. 

Charming bonnet-ed lassies with baskets of posies,

frolic on heavy cotton with a dainty crocheted edge. 

How could I resist? 

Perhaps better suited to spring, but with a bouquet of 

iris, you can almost believe it is spring once again.  

Another fun find - refrigerator dishes in my favorite color blue. 

Useful and beautiful - they fit the criteria...

Well, maybe this is not exactly useful,

 but I have a weakness for interesting vintage photos. 

Especially wedding photos. 

Here the happy couple is getting a sweet send-off for their honeymoon. 

I love her lady-like dress and the little girl's bonnets. 

I'm thinking this would look lovely decoupaged to this tray! 

Of course my Mr. picked out a couple of things he liked, too. 

He collects wooden boxes. 

They do come in handy.....

The perfect place to store scrabble letters! 

The photo is my son and his sweetheart on their wedding day

3 years ago. 

My Mr. also chose this little bird house for me. 

I grew up in a log cabin during the elementary school years, 

and we also had the privilege of vacations at my Dad's boss'

log cabin in the mountains of New Hampshire. 

Log cabins are very special to me. 

I have a small collection I decorate with at the holidays. 

My final treasure is this darling milk glass jar.

I have a growing collection of milk glass

and this jar has such pretty detail - I couldn't pass it by. 

I have to be careful that my collections don't take over, 

so I am very choosy about pieces to add.

Most reside in the bathroom, 

but maybe I'll keep this one on my vanity. 

So here are my vintage 'treasures', 

but the real treasure was spending the day

with my Ramblin' Man. 

We did have fun!
