Monday Marketplace # 7 and a Winner

Have you recovered from Easter Dinner and all the many chocolate Easter Eggs that had your name written on them? Hard not to indulge! We met our St. Louis kids half way in Rolla, Missouri for a late lunch. We only get to visit for a few hours, but since we haven't seen them since Christmas we're really glad for just an afternoon together.

Last week had tons of great items linked up. I hope you'll take the time to browse thru the links this week, there are some beautiful things being listed. Here are just a few, wish I could feature each of you, but I'm trying to showcase new sellers each week, so I promise I'll get to more of you, soon.


I just adore this Romantic rose lace scarf from Brayton Cottage
Karen has several shops on Etsy, and a wonderful blog, Brayton Homestead.
She's one of the sweetest people, and I've known her since I started blogging.

Shabby French Floral Gift Tags from the Porcelain Rose

Hope you'll join in for Monday Marketplace.

An Easter Visit with Peter Rabbit

Hope you're having a wonderful start to the
Easter weekend.

Before it's too late, I wanted to share a few photos of these little "Easter" candy molds with you. I don't think either one is old, but I paired them up with two little vintage books that I found last year. Both Peter Rabbit titles that were published in 1921. 




When I was very young we used to visit my grandparents who had a whole closet still filled with my uncle's and daddy's children's books. I could spend hours in that large attic closet. Looking through old books and playing games. These little books are from that same era. Because of that I'm always on the lookout for this type of old children's books. The graphics are just my favorite.











Enjoy your family this weekend.
Give them extra hugs and let them know how much you love them.

Happy Easter,
