Beautiful Whites & Creams

 We had our Vendor Market last Saturday,
and this is the Outdoor Bedroom we put together for it.
I've wanted to do it for along time,
and this time finally got it together, with help from my Mom
and my friend who helped me with the sale, before and during.

The back drop is a section of fence I got from a friend.
We added curtains across the top, using some shelf brackets,
and let kt drape down on the sides.

An old headboard and food board, attached to some old springs made the bed.
Then we added burlap and a wonderful crocheted table cloth to the top if it.
(Love burlap and lace together).
We added pillows....

 
(more burlap and lace)

  and some decor to the headboard. Old sconces and a picture of Jesus.


Then put a tray covered with music paper, an old stoneware plate,
book and gloves too.

I love how it all turned out.....We are leaving it up for awhile,
 but all the parts are for sale.. When they are gone we will be 
able to put some other cuteness

together,
but I'm in no hurry. =)

Be blessed everyone,
Barb

Blissful Whites Wednesday

 this is a roll of vintage lace I just got....
Not real vintage...from 70's or 80's.
Wonder how many yards are on on this roll..
it is about 12" across.
The piece behind it on the card is 1970's French lace.
and a non-white roll of rusty wire. =)
 old jars I just got. Cold Cream, Hand cream, and unlabeled rusty lid jar.
love it! =)
 LOVE this old clock.
No clock works in it, but oh so cool.
It is about 10" across.
cute kids chair....yummy and chippy...
I might have shown you this already, but here is my.....
 new vintage crib at the shop.....
isn't it sweet??

even better filled with treasures.
(my granddaughter did this display for me.)

New Treasures and What's it Called???

 Hey, some fun new finds.
cool thread holder with cute little drawer in bottom.
 my rustic thingy.....
not sure what it was for, but
 perfect for these type set pieces.
I love repurposing.

 blue pint jars. One with Atlas....new to me.
 Some cool sewing stuff. 
That spool of thread is the first one I've seen that big.
like 3" tall.
 my What is it??
I know these go on some kind of view 'thingy',
but do not know name.

 I got a bunch of them and want to find out pricing.
Thanks for help.
Oh, I almost forgot my cool faucets.....
Brass...and I think 2 were from kitchen sinks.
any experts out there?
(I spend way too much tme trying to find out value of things for the store,
but I am learning...)

Thanks for coming by.

blessings and happy weekend

White: Plain and Simple

 For your viewing pleasure on White Wednesday.
some rustic cuteness.....
 This picture...and the 2 after it,
are random bits of my friend Karen's fabric books she makes.
(I'm probably not calling them the right thing.)
I'll show you more later on...
 How simple, but sweet, is this little pin on a piece of lace.
and lace on a ledger page....

Barbershop Luxury, inside of razor box...
and this is a piece of a typewriter we took apart.
Here it is..not white..but rusted.
LOVE IT. Will make a cute and unique photo holder.
(note on rusting: put part in vinegar with salt.
leave over night, lay out to dry. 
Wah lah! Rust or Patina,
 depending on type of metal.)
More typewriter parts, and rusty stuff soon.

Joining White Wednesday....my fave party!!

 blessings
