Roses & Shamrocks~~

Found a few neat things this week: the vintage threads/strings I have no real plans for; just liking their textures and the creams/whites:



Wanted to find something pretty for St. Patrick's Day; sweet shamrocks on delicate porcelain will look pretty in my tall cloche:




 Found a twig basket; will use this in the spring outside to hold a white painted clay pot with flowers:



This tin cannister with lid is adorable: not that old~~but will also hold a little pot on the patio/porch table~~


~~~~And equally sweet to hold other things in the meantime~~~


 I can never pass up on little china dishes; useful for this "cheese server/dome" which will  now be called a cloche!







Have a great weekend; I'm going to send these over to Linda and Debra; two lovely ladies who hostess Friday night's Findings:

  8. Hi Patty! Just wanted to thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving your sweet comment, girlie! Gotta tell you that I am drooling over your bowl of twine! I've been wanting to start collecting some various neutral shades of twine/string lately and now you've really inspired me! Thank you! Have a great weekend!

  9. Hi Patty,
    Really enjoyed this post. We must like a lot of the same things. I can't resist creamy off-white spools of embroidery thread either as you can see here: http://mysisterscottage.blogspot.com/2011/01/time-to-rearrange.html
    I also just bought a little glass cover just like the one you have over your white sugar bowl...haven't put it out yet but you've given me an idea. I was going to put a bird's nest in it but it didn't fit:-( Thanks again for a great post!

  20. Thanks so much for visiting with me. I actually saw a horn in an antique shop today and had to laugh.
    Your china is so pretty. I love the little shamrocks and only wish I had more room to display such beautiful pieces.
