Tiny treasures ~

I love them.

Small, precious treasures.

I don't quite know why, but if they are old and small...

I just love them!

A glimpse over our back fence...

true heaven I tell you ~

My husband tells me that I've never spent so much time outside!

Today was a day of mending....

like in the good ol' days ~

making things last and endure.

Clothes seem so disposable these days but my family

uses clothes until they totally wear out!
 And I'm quite proud of that fact.

Lose a button?

Let's add a new one ~

I love getting our money's worth from each and every piece.

This is a wonderful treasure....

maybe an old light fixture?

I plan on using it as a base for a gorgeous pincushion!

Coming soon to a blog near you :)

You are SO not going to believe this!!!

The photo below looks like a piece of leather, right?

Uh, no.

I snagged a gorgeous magnolia flower petal that fell in our yard.

I noticed that is was very sensitive to impressions so decided

to use a dry bird stamp on it.

Then...I used matte gel medium to apply it to an old scrap of paper

and applied the medium over the petal as well.

Look at how the petal aged and still retained the impression of the stamp!!

I have a tiny little treasure box that I had to share with you ~

The box alone is a treasure, don't you think???

A precious friend at our antique mall gave me these goodies ~

yes, GAVE....them to me.

I am blessed!

Look at the teeny antique cards,

pins,

old calling cards,

needles,

and old leather goods.....

I have a weakness for tiny, old leather coin purses or skinny wallets ~

look at this one from
England!!

This is a simple sharing post ~

sharing with you what I love :)

Which I'm sure you know by now is A LOT!!

My Etsy store is empty right now

(thank you SO MUCH for buying my wares!)

don't you worry, I'll be filling it back up very soon ~

Wishing you a very happy Friday!!!!!

hugs and love sweet friends,
