Pale Green

I love this vintage wallpaper with it's soft pale green shade with contrasting white and colored bouquets, it really is one of my favorites, so I used some for this sweet little notebook.
Pretty, Pretty!

I love checking the mail and waiting for sweet little things like this old doll I bought from Beth

that I just love ,I think I have a thing for old pretty dolls scince I just can't help buying them all the time.

Whew! It has been so hot here , I can hardly get anything done . It was a 100 here today and It's supposed to be a scorcher tommarow too, I hate to go out because the ac isn't working in my car and even with a sunroof it doesn't help when trying to catch a warm breeze because that's all you get. But despite all that I decided to go to goodwill anyway and oh my it was the hottest 4 mile drive ever! Goodwill has been slim pickins lately but I keep looking anyway , found an old vase and that was about it.

Picked these up at a sale , cute little hanging vases , once the heat dies down I think I'll hang them from the tree in the yard with a garden rose in each...

A few vintage finds ~

I found a few good sales on friday and I just love it when that happens. Like these sweet little lady planters , I just love them so these I think I'll keep ....

This one is missing her hand that was actually taped to the backside and in her hand she is actually holding a mirror which I am going to glue back on .Even with her flawes she is still lovely ~

And one more with a little flaw but even so I just love all these vintage plant containers .

And these dainty 1920's vintage opera glasses from PARIS . Such a rare find and so french chic ~ These however I added to my shop , I'll proabably regret it later but you just can't keep everything! Stamped with the makers name and PARIS. I love the patina of these.

Along with this pale lavender ,almost looks pink vintage lace dress, this is just says southern bell to me~ Very femanine and flirty ,would be pretty displayed .A lacey shear top and the back of this is so pretty!~ Layers and layers of ruffles..... see below

I wish this would have fit me becasuse I really would wear it if the occasion was right !

More generous ruffles and sheer fabric .I just love vintage clothing especially pretty things with lots of little details such as this.....

And would you believe I found two vintage lace shoe bag holders ?? I did in one weekend! These are perfect for holding all your crafty goodies in your studio for extra inspiration! I love and use mine! Both available in the Shop! Anywho it's late here and I am sleepy , I will post pictures of the barn sale next time!!
