Treasures from Tipton for White Wednesday

I promised to show you my treasures from Tipton
for White Wednesday and I hope you enjoy them.
I didn't purchase a lot, but what I did purchase
I love.

A french cup and saucer for a great price and yes it is
actually made in France . I didn't realize it until I got
home , but it is Pillivuyt brand and I was tickled to see
that on the bottom. I have several other pieces made by
this company and they are outstanding quality.
Heavy porcelain...thank God because ole' clutz Sandi
dropped it on the kitchen floor before I even had it out
of the bag. Thankfully it is still all intact!

This ruffled linen bag was my very first purchase made by Donna herself.

love!

I purchased the very last one she had! She did get a couple more all finished and out for sale
by the time I left for home. She is a whirlwind of a lady!!

The beautiful flower really adds to this gorgeous bag!

These two postcards were a fun find. One was
even mailed to Paris, France and the handwriting
is beautiful.

I just had to show you these beautiful Paris soaps
too. These did not come from the flea, but I thought
they were appropriate. I found them at TJ Maxx
while I was in Indiana.

I did get a couple more small items that I will show
you at a later date. All in all it was a very
splendid day and one worth repeating every year!

By now you know the drill...visit Kathleen over at
Faded Charm for more white goodness!

{If you haven't already checked out my previous two
posts about the french flea market be sure and do so}

Blessings~

Vintage Paris...city of love

What better time to share my vintage postcards from
Paris
than Valentine's weekend.

I found these a couple weeks ago at the antique mall where
I have my booth. $5.00. Yes, I did take them out of the book
because otherwise how could I enjoy them.

I wanted to make them higher resolution so you could
use them in your artwork, but my internet would
not cooperate today. Sorry.

Note the Eiffel Tower wayyy in the background.

I do hope you enjoyed these wonderful pieces of history.
I do have some more that I will share another time.
Blessings and happy weekend ahead~
