Fleas & Tiques

This is a lamp I found at a flea market about a month ago.. My hubby put up about 2 weeks ago.. It replaced a crystal chandelier... I moved chandy from kitchen to dining room..I like it better in there.. But I thought this light suited my kitchen eating area better..What do you think?

These are some sweet baby dresses and slip. I found last weekend.. I love them.. two dresses and a slip..

three dollars a piece.... Love it!

Isn't the detail,( what you can see of it, bad pics) so sweet, the smocking and lace..

These are some other finds..

These sweet little plates.. I have been looking for these... I wanted some plates with a pink rim..

That's what happens when you put it out there...

 

This is a platter with a pretty little crown at top...I found two of them.. $2.99 a piece..

This was a bargain treasure day!!

oh and the sweet linen napkins.. 5 for $ 4.00.. They are a very nice weight linen..

I never showed my Easter decorations.. so here is my dining room table, before I change it..

I love my bunnies....and my mercury glass...

The picture to the right , was a flea market find too... It is propped on a chair in this pic , haven't hung it up yet..Thinking about putting it over my china hutch..

I will show my china hutch another day,,,

Well hope you enjoyed playing with my treasures as much as I did..

Hugs and Blessings!!!

Making up for lost time!

I have been very busy the last few weeks and have ignored my blog.. so I thought I would show you what I have been up to.

I made a bag for my brother and his wife that are expecting their first child.. a girl..  her name is a combination of his name Brian and her name Leslie.. Cute huh?

This is what it looks like inside,  The pocket with my logo on it..

the lighting on these pictures are bad, sorry... so cute, I promise!

All of my things have something vintage on them.. I added the vintage crochet doilies to handles..

Its just what they needed..

They loved it!!

New Furniture..

2 weeks ago my hubby and I drove to the Ikea in Frisco, Tx  which is right outside Dallas..
It is about 5 1/2 hours drive.  I finally got my new slipcovered furniture I have been wanting for so long..
Our budget could not afford a new a sofa from the PB or RA..  so I found a way to get what I wanted..
For the cost of one sofa from big name.. I was able to get one slipcovered sofa, two slipcovered chairs, and a chaise lounge.. We would have had it delivered but that would have cost as much as the sofa just for the sofa..since it had to come from warehouse in California..  My hubby opted to drive 5 1/2 hours to pick up ourselves... Never having shopped in Ikea.. made for an unexpected experience..The Ikea store had lots of goodies that I was dying to look at as we were passing them by walking to warehouse.. but we were on a mission!  We had to get in, get out!.. ( My hubby talking ).. I did get my furniture.. love it!  but need to go back someday to browse.. probably would take 1/2  a day or more.. I like to look at everything..

My pictures aren't great.. not even good.. but you get the idea..excuse the boxes in the background..

My Baby boy.. Posing for momma..so cute..

Beautiful give-away to tell you about..

I want to tell you about a beautiful give-away at "pretties and posies"....

New Background..

Oh, I almost forgot to mention my new background..
My daughter Maddie designed it for me.. She is working
on a new banner for me too.. I can't wait to see what it looks like..
She just started making backgrounds for people..
 I think she is doing a great job!  I am going to add a link to her blog... but until then,
you can find her on my blog list.. @ the mele manor..  If you are interested.. check it out.

Just a touch of lace...

I found these sweeet hand embroidered pillowcases at a fleamarket

 and I added a little lace to bottom edges..... I think it's just what they needed..

I am sending them to my daughter Maddie..

 I have a few pairs of pretty embroidered pillowcases..She and her husband are

poor, young college students with a little baby.. So I decided to send them to her

to brighten her day..  Hope it works.. She loves pretty, lacy things like I do..

What do you think?
