A Few little things to show you.

I thought I would show you a few lovely things I love.

This one is a gorgeous little plate my lovely Aunt gave to me. Its pretty design got me hooked straight away.

Plate

I got this from the thrift shop the other day. It said “Take me home!” So I did.

Jug

This lovely little tin my gorgeous Aunt gave me a while ago and it was full of buttons. So special!

Flower Tin

Don’t you just love all sorts of things like these? I do and would fill my house full of them if I could.

~~~~~~~~ 

The table runner is a Hardanger one that my Mum made and gave to me awhile ago now. It’s very special to me too. I got several other ones too and I will show you them another time.

I haven’t tried to do Hardanger and maybe one day I will but at the moment I will stick to the patchwork, stitching etc.

~~~~~~~~

What special little things delight you? I would love to see yours, so let me know if you put up pictures on your blog and I will pop over and have a look.

Hugs to all……..Vicki

    Hi Vicki
    I love English chintz! Is that gorgeous little dish James Kent DuBary? It is so pretty, as are all the other little goodies. I collect chintz and antique quilts, they give me so much pleasure. Thank you for sharing, Elaine

    I am a cat collector, so I tend to make and collect items that are cat related.

    Oh Vicki such lovely things! I too like to fill my home with things especially from family, handed down from generations. That tablecloth especially is beautiful - not something I'd have the patience for!

    Vicki what GAWJUS keepsakes!!! I love old china too, but I'm in love with that button tin :o)!!!
    I found the one from my childhood when my darling Dad passed away several years ago, and I treasure it ... it still has some buttons threaded on wool that I did when I was tiny ... lovely memories :o).
    Your blog looks so pretty too, love it :o)
    Love n hugs,
    Joy :o)

    Beautiful things, Love the floral plate and little pitcher. In early December I purchased some tea cups in a thrift store to make into pin cushions. The one I've finished is a gift so I will post photo's after I give it to her.

    They are all beautiful treasures, Vicki. Love that plate, the little jug and button tin- loooove tins, have a lot:-)-one day I will take pics of the lovely aprons I have from my DM (they were my DGM's) and some other treasures. However, the hardanger, I am sure, is extra special to you! Your DM must have been so patient to do all of that lovely work!

    All are so pretty. You know, I have several things like that, some I have picked up myself, and some that were my moms or other family members and now they are mine. It can be the simplist thing that from my childhood that gives me such pleasure now.

    I have always loved pretty little things like your treasures. The hardanger your mother did is beautiful - what a sweet gift from her. How wonderful when items like these end up in the hands of people who truly appreciate them. Enjoy, Vicki. Carol

    What can I say, I think your aunt and I have the same taste, grin, and I love pitcher, but then I loved your pitchers, teapots on your shelf too, sigh, yes I am a Victorian person.
    Your mom's hardanger is beautiful, you are certainly blessed. BarbM

    Beautiful things, Vicki...and I also want to learn Hardanger one day.
    I love to collect old plates and glasses with gold trim...memories of ages past when life was simpler and more treasured.
