Keepers


On one of my recent trips to Relics Antique Mall
I found a few items that were "keepers".
You, know, those things you buy because they would look so
wonderful in your booth space,
but never make it?

This large white suitcase was a great find to house some of my jewelry supplies.
I've painted a lot of old suitcases white, but this was in great shape
and older than most white luggage that I've seen.










The gorgeous roses on this embroidered pillow cover were a perfect match
 for the roses in the gold frenchy coverlet.
It's been living out here on the porch.








These quilt squares stopped me in my tracks.
From a very old "Friendship Quilt" here locally in Missouri,
I loved the red and white theme and the floral embroidery.



I think I may eventually make these into pillows
using a loose weave linen fabric that I have.
A good project for a rainy day.





This little starched crocheted hanging heart I've had for a few years.








The light in the sun room just calls out for photographing my goodies.
Everything now goes back to it's place.

And I hope you will join me Thursday evening Sept.2
for the first 
 Vintage Inspiration Friday.

Hope you're having a wonderful week.
I'm getting the house ready for fall.
September 1 is my day!

big hugs,

Heads Up for Vintage Inspiration Friday



Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to remind you all about the start of our first
Vintage Inspiration Friday.


(source: Pottery Barn)

We all grab inspiration here and there, sometimes we don't even realize it, we just tuck away an idea or thought. I'm hoping we can use this as a time of sharing our sources of inspiration and ideas. Whether it be a magazine, store, photo, person, designer, artist, blog or blogger, recipe, color etc. Let's share our specific ideas and projects for the season...and life.
I know you all are so creative, I'm looking forward to seeing what's out there. What inspires and motivates your decor, lifestyle, business, purchases, plans...? Let's keep it simple, all you have to do is just share what's inspiring you at the moment...next week it will be something else!


So gather your idea for the week,
  I'll have a linky up on Thursday early evening,
 about 5:00 pm CST.

Let's make it fun and easy.
And don't worry if someone else has the same idea.
Make it personal, for you. 

I'd love you to grab the button
to let others know about the fun.


See you Thursday and Friday!

oh, and I'll be having a monthly give away for those who participate,
wooo hooo!
love,
Debra
