Friday! Little things--

Today was "nesting day"; had the house to self and played around with some of my newest "old" finds; like the blue transferware china.  Three orphaned cups looked pretty just stacked together.

A stack of heavy linen napkins; old crocheted heart with pretty silk ribbon.
And metal hearts--some to put in apothecary jars.

Black china cup with pink rose!  Looking sweet with black and white toile.


Old postcards bought off ebay on the cheap!

More of those little hearts in a jar--found around 20 of them this week; including large old aluminum heart molds and pans.  Getting ready for the Valentine's Day blog.


I'm sending this over to Linda's: A la Carte  http://ljm-alacarte.blogspot.com/
Thank you Linda for hosting another Friday Junk Finds!

  5. Super finds and great vignettes and photography. I especially like the crocheted heart. I have several vintage ones, just like yours....they were made as pincushions by Victorian women.

    I've made quite a few of them after find the pattern in a vintage crochet book. They are getting harder and harder to find in antique and thrift shops. The ribbon on yours has been changed...originally the ribbon was folded so that it had a pointed ruffle shaped around the eyelet.

  14. I like your cookie cutters in the jar. I have tons of those things and never do anything decorative with them - they're just sitting in my cupboard. Great idea.
