I love old stuff ~

I found a home for my new black umbrella....my new black 4.00 umbrella......it may not stay here but I kind of like it!

I stopped by The Plum Tree and found a few treasures I just couldn't leave without ~ a drawer perfect for an assemblage, a wonderful old ledger book and a sweet little doll dress. I also had to get the newest issue of Romantic Homes ~ and a couple of candles.
I love The Plum Tree....and I love old stuff!

Wishing you all a wonderful Fourth of July!!!

A few wonderful finds ~

I went treasure hunting Friday and just had to share with you the little treasures I found! I don't know what it is about these precious little baby shirts but when they are only 3.00....they are coming home with me!! I love them! I've been thinking of a few ideas to turn them into artwork but haven't quite gotten around to working on them.

The most adorable little cigar box (if they can be adorable), Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass which is so small, I just love it . . . a French text book, more sheet music (I know, but it ranks right up there with fabric, whoever dies with the most WINS), some great old photos, a group of tiny bottles and one looks like it has that violet hue! An old wallet with our initial on it and the most precious postcard with a big shell and baby on it . . .

Why do I love this tattered, stained, old photo (above)? I can't quite tell you except that she's adorable and I love tattered, stained and old.

And look what Walt Whitman says about beautiful women:

Wishing you a peaceful, happy Sunday ~
