A bevy of mini cloches

Aren't these the cutest little cloches you have
ever seen?

When I found nine of these at the Goodwill I
immediately scooped them up.
I am guessing that they were once used to hold
candles, but the shape is perfect for a cloche.

Just for fun I put some of my eggs under them and
added some white crinkle ribbon.

Unlimited possibilities of what you could put under these cuties!

Hope you enjoyed my tiny cloches and that you will
be on the lookout for your very own.
Happy Sunday! Blessings~

White Wednesday French Style

I just received this gorgeous Jeanne d' Arc Living
magazine yesterday in the mail and have been
spending a little time here and there browsing
through it's beautiful pages.
I need to carve out some special time
just for me and the magazine.

I removed these gorgeous vintage white flowers
from a hat today that I found on one of my
antiquing journeys. They are so immaculate and
and breathtakingly beautiful.

A glimpse of my new porcelain french cake stand.

This little goodie was delivered to me last week
and I love it. It is a porcelain cake stand
made in France by Pillivuyt.

I picked this item from CSN stores
to review and I will be doing that soon.
I haven't actually used it for a cake yet, but I think
it would be great for so many things... cookies, cakes, small desserts ,display
{for flowers etc.lol.}.
Many unlimited possibilities.
I love how it is low standing instead of high
as many cake stands are.

Please visit Kathleen over at Faded Charm
again this week to view more WW posts.

Have a beautiful White Wednesday! Blessings~

Spring Decor ~

Hubby and I took youngest son out to eat last night just to be with him and near to him as he has really been going through some very rough times lately and of course we just HAD to stop at the Goodwill too. I found this birdcage and brought it right along home with me. I then embellished it with vintage millinery flowers and old lace. Love it and the colors...enjoy ~
If you think about it please say a prayer for my son that God will give him peace in the midst of a very turbulent storm....Blessings ~

Pink Saturday ~ Vintage Treats

This is my first time participating in Beverly's Pink Saturday over at How Sweet the Sound and I tried to come up with a unique idea to start things off. Do you remember playing this game at parties? You put several items on a tray and pass it around for a limited time and then you take it away and everyone tries to remember what was on the tray? That was my inspiration for this post. I hope you enjoy all my vintage "pink goodies" today ~ I have amassed quite a collection of paint chips and one of these days I will think of something to do with them. I love this little pink cat pin...it is from my childhood ~
Gotta love these vintage "BON TON" buttons! Several years ago when I was visiting my sister in Pennsylvania she took me to a Salvation Army thrift store which was known jokingly out there as the "Bon Ton". When I found these buttons sometime later, I just had to pick them up !
Lots of vintage goodness here ~
Vintage pink rick rack, lace and hanky and straight pins ~
Do you remember these pink curler picks from years ago?? I found an unopened package and added them to my collection of vintage goodness ~
I hope you enjoyed my trip down "memory lane" and if you have time today go ahead and study my pictures for a few minutes and then see if you can remember all the goodies displayed! Have a wonderful day! Blessings~

Quietness and Confidence~

When I found these small vintage mirrors last summer while I was shopping , I just had to pick them up and at $2.49 each they were a steal! I love the Bible verses that are engraved on each one and the pink flowers along the bottom are a beautiful bonus! They are such wonderful pieces to decorate with where you need a *little something* and they also remind me each day who is in control...and it is not *me*. Have a beautiful day! Blessings ~
