A few of my favorite blue and yellow treasures. The box is a boot box I found next to one of my neighbor's garbage cans. It was very clean and sturdy so I couldn't resist grabbing it. This is something I do sometimes and it embarrasses Sweet Husband to no end! Poor thing. I covered the box in some pretty gift wrapping paper I found at Walmart. I think I will use it to store some of my treasures. This pretty enamelware coffee pot my sweet Mama bought me as an early Mother's Day present. It is from T.J. Maxx and I think it is just as pretty as any vintage one! I adore that shade of blue!!
This is my favorite pie bird- isn't she SO sweet??
She is sitting on this lovely plate which is yet another gift from my sweet Mama. Yes, I know I am spoiled rotten.
Next is one of my favorite of all my vintage plates.
And here is a pretty little gravy boat. Have you noticed how much I love flowers?
Here are a couple of close ups of a vintage tablecloth my sweet Mama gave me last Christmas.
I just love it!!
A favorite sheet music cover. I think it is so pretty and the lady reminds me of my Mama. My kids say it's a picture of Gram!
My one and only barkcloth pillow, found at an antique mall years ago.
A vintage embroidered pillow.
My Betty Fairy book- a reproduction. It has the sweetest illustrations inside!
A birthday card my Mama gave me a few years ago. Isn't it just magical??
A happy little moon.
A small collage I created last summer.
A tag I made for a swap, but like it so much I had to keep it and make another one.
And last, a pretty vintage piece of silver with a perfect aged patina! No polishing silver in this house!
Here I have filled it with some treasures.
Oh, one more (not so pretty) thing to show you! I picked up this sad, beat up little stray in a neighbor's yard because it was free! I am sure I can make it pretty with some paint and papers! Sorry I had to embarrass you again, Sweet Husband!! You all should have seen the look on his face as he helped me put it in the car! I wish I had a camera at that moment! LOVE YOU, Sweetie!!

Oh my gosh, I love that post all of your finds, such a beautiful place to visit. I just bought more scarves ( my grandmother embroidered scarves, my stash needed company), more crochet and tatted pieces ( my other grandmother gave me goodies) and yes from Hospis Attic I scored sheet music for $1 each. I just made an altered platter (with a photo of my Gfandfather as a baby) from a $6 platter, lace$1, and hand made button and velvet roses.
Stop by some time. Gayle in Florida
How I love strolling through your beautiful blog! I am in the process of redecorating my master bedroom in powder blue, yellow and white with just a hint of pink sprinkled here and there. I have been so inspired by all of your creative touches!
