Fun Finds

Good Morning!

It's Friday again!  Yippeee!

And time share some Fun Finds.

First up, delicate, hand-embroidered hankies!

I'm a complete sucker for these.  I have stacks of them already, more than I could ever use, but I can't seem to stop myself from purchasing more.  Especially when I find gorgeous ones like these.

I like to use them draped over baskets or shelves, and even as dollies sometimes.  Larger, thicker versions I use as pretty napkins for special occasions.

I've been on a roll lately finding hand-made items lately which thrilled me to no end.  I found a set of crocheted place-mats.

They have pretty flowers in the middle . . . 

And a gorgeous scalloped edge.

Also picked up a four piece set of hostess plates.  Remember these?

I can remember my mom using these all the time when I was younger for special occasions.  I always felt so special when she'd let me use one too.

I see them all the time at the thrift store and for some reason I just couldn't pass up this set.  Surprisingly, I've been using them quite a bit.  I'll put the girls after school snacks on them or like today, my mid-afternoon snack.  It makes snack time just a little more special.

Next up is a set of tin shapes and a chicken wire basket from Walmart.  I love both of these items.  

And finally another blast from the past for me, remember these Home Interior birds.  I swear every house I visited when I was little either had these birds or the butterflies.

They made me smile when I saw them in the store so of course they had to come home with me.  I think a coat of fresh paint will update them a little and they will be perfect for springtime decorating.

Have a great weekend,

bye now,
