And we couldn't start out the week without a dose of fresh flowers like these pretty ranuculus. I think I spelled that right, anyhow there pretty and say english garden to me.
Hope you don't mind my name on the pictures, I just worry about photo theft, do you ever? I picked up this cute old album for less than 1.00. I get so lucky sometimes ,I guess that is the thrill of the hunt .I plan on doing something with this ,not sure what yet .
And isn't this just so lovely .A real vintage velvet strawberry pin cushion, just as sweet as day.It may not be pink but it still has beauty to me. Another etsy find.
And actually two of my best finds for the week ,is this cast iron candle wall thingy I picked up at Goodwill for four bucks .Thanks GW! And this pretty old pink hat with a pink velvet bow another etsy find. I just love the cast iron, it's texture and worn places I just love. So I guess all I have been doing is shopping, what about you??

Wow, Andrea, you ARE a talented shopper! You got yourself some snazzy finds there. I'm with you, I'm all about the thrill of the hunt. Goodwill, consignment stores, and especially estate sales are like drugs for me! Few things make me sparkle inside like a nifty thrifty. BTW, those flowers are lovely. I'm super impressed you know the name of them, let alone how to spell them. You're just so darn talented it kills me! :)
wow Andrea, you really found some amazing things on etsy!!! i LOVE the doll dress, just gorgeous...the pincushion is a beauty too...it reminds me of a satin horseshoe i just saw at one of my favorite shops, it had the best ribbons on it, but it was yellow so i didn't buy it...i may have to go back and see if it is still there...
Hi Andrea...glad you are happy with the hat...everything looks so spring!
what lovely photos - name and all! Those flowers are just exqusite - and the cast iron candelabra is fine! Terrific finds!
Andrea, I can feel the softness of those strawberries. Whenever I find an old type pincushion....well, I have a hard time letting go of them....I will have to share them, "the find" like you are....thanks for sharing!!! blessings, deb

Glorious inspiration! I wanted to drop in for a visit and to thank you for the beautiful tag I received from your creative hands in Karla's Alice Tag Book Swap. I put up a post today featuring the tags I got and left links to the artist. Beautiful blog you have here!
I really enjoyed looking at all of your finds. I especially like the velvet strawberries pincushion. How do you find all those great things on etsy? I love it there too but don't always know what to search for. Come for a visit. I live in Ohio, close to Lori.

Hi Andrea,
I received one of your Alice Tags in the swap. Just love it! Love the black and white tissue and the sweet little trim. Such a nice combination of old and new. Love all your treasures you found. That doll dress is divine!
