Bits of White

I bought a box of dolls a couple of weeks ago,

Sharing this one today, cause she is in lighter colored clothes.

Most appropriate for Blissful Whites Wednesday.

  And here is part of my collection of buttons.

These are mostly old, and 1 1/4- 1 1/2 inches in size.

A bit of rearranging in the cottage room...

Just love all the different shades of white and cream together.

  cool old pincushion....

a few more bits and pieces.

and an old tea pot and bowl.

Love how they age, all crackly.

Thanks for coming by today.

be blessed

Sewing Treasures

I showed you this sewing box find yesterday.....

so today we will take a closer look.

 spools of thread..as you would expect....

 some other little goodies...

an odd pin, some embroidery thread, and...

anyone know what those little spools of various threads are?

for travel maybe???

 buttons......1 card of black buttons.

 very old buttons.

 When is the last time you saw any for .08??

 and this is one of my fave parts....old needle holder packs.

This old Thriftway was made in Germany......

and this sweet one with the kiddies made in Japan.

There were 2 of these in the box...

 

and this one has every single needle and the needle threader!!

It is like new!!

So excited to have found these.

Well, that is my bits of pieces of red for Rednesday.

hop on over for more great reds.

Thanks for coming by.

Blessings everyone

Fun Finds.....

 OK, here they are.

A few finds from big garage sale yesterday.

My first fishing reel for the store.

Know nothing about them, this one just

caught my eye.

And that black thing to left of it??

They told me it is for knocking the hot coals off

partly burnt wood in the stove.

 another little sewing treasure box....some scissors 

(no clue what they are for)

And a book of 25 old, unused New York postcards.

 

found another old copper syrup warmer.

 Just sold the last one, so great timing.

 

a bucket of blocks and toys.

 and last, but most fun maybe, is this box of sewing stuff.

Cannot wait to open it up and check it out.

Thanks for coming by.

More tomorrow.

blessings and happy Monday

Spring Flowers & More Fun Finds

Sprucing up the place.

Put in a few flowers at the store today.
Fixin' it up after the winter blahs.

I thought this was just a cute little old sewing box,
filled with really old goodies....
till I looked closer at the top and figured out it was
a cigar box. Oh well, still cool, and the oldest needle book I have ever seen.
It is literally falling apart.
Do I leave it?
Or tape it together n the back side so the tape does not show?

And here is a new little (or not) piggy for the store.
No! Not my sweet little granddaughter,
the pig she is holding. =)

Isabel, our 10 year old granddaughter,
is my flea market/garage sale buddy now.
She loves to go and we have so much fun together!
Good call on getting that pig sweetie. =)

blessings to all
