VINTAGE FINDS!!

The heat and humidity here has been crazy as it has everywhere! But I'm not complaining! I can always stay inside but that's what I do in the very cold days of winter so I try to bear it somewhat so I can enjoy the outdoor beauty. I'm just grateful I don't have to WORK in it!

There were a couple of Estate Sales last weekend and I came home with lots of goodies. First of all a few linens:
                                      A white tablecloth with different hens stitched on every corner. Here are two:



OOPS! This one got turned around.

Another amazing vintage Christmas tablecloth. This one still needs some ironing.


A delightful baby pillow case.  It was yellowed and wrinkled but cleaned up nicely.


                                                                Vintage pot holders


                              A dozen vintage hankies some of which were from France and other countries.  Here are just a few:


And a child's hankie... Although the content doesn't seem fitting for children if you ask me!

                                        Here are some pretty antique drawer pulls:

                                                       Some vintage metal industrial pieces to use as decor.

                                                                      


A vintage creamer with a wood handle. The seller was an older gentleman who remembered pouring cream in it back on the farm.
                                               Here's a close-up of the painting on it:

I'm finding some great pieces of tarnished silver. To see how to use them go to a previous post here. The two big bowls are first place trophies. The bright cup in the middle is actually pewter.



                  And last but not least is a large vintage  copper pot and copper kettle! SCORE!!!

                                    WOW! You will not want to miss this sale! Details on my right sidebar! Check back to previous posts for more finds. In future posts I'll share some fun pieces of furniture we'll have!
                             So what is your favorite find and what would you do with it?
