One More Find!

Well, I have to tell you.

My #1 came walking through the door today, after work and said, "Well, you better give her a name!"

He noticed my newest dress form hadn't moved!

I guess he's right!

I wanted to show you one more thing I picked up from the French lady's estate this week-end.

I spotted a broken table.

My #1 thought I was nuts but I could see it was going to be so darn cute when put back together.

It has a wonderful look about it!

I love the natural wood combined with the old paint.

I want to believe that this is a French table that was brought over from Europe as there were other French pieces in this home.

So for $3.00 I think it's pretty sweet!

P.S. Welcome home Miss Lacey!

Bringing Home a Little Bit of France

Maybe I should say I found a little bit of France!

While out on the hunt today one of the sales I went to was the home of a French lady.

There were not a lot of things, as the family had taken many items, but that's as it should be.

I did manage to find some old French books though.

Another thing I found was a dress form.

I usually pass up these particular dress forms but this one was right up my alley.

Yes, it was French!

Do you see the label?

Love it!

Old wood screws.

A great old base.

Now I just need to decide if I exchange it with one that I have or take it to the shop.

On another note...I'm blogging this on my netbook.

I've been without it for a whole day!

I know that doesn't seem long but I love the fact that I can kick up my feet while with the family and still check out everyone's pretty blogs.

While surfing the internet Friday, looking for coloring pages for a project.

I encountered an awful virus!

Don't people have better things to do with there time then to create viruses!

(insert mad face!)

Awful things were popping up on my computer!

Fortunately, we have a wonderful friend that knows everything about computers and was able to fix it!

Thank you John!

He has fixed many a problem.

I'll get off my little rampage now and leave you with this picture I took the other night.

Mr. Riley thinks he has found the perfect spot to rest.

An old Bible I recently picked up!

Mr. Riley, we've gotta talk!!!

Not Just For Christmas!

(vintage white shelf paper)

Welcome White Wednesday!

Today, for my White Wednesday post I thought I'd show you my pretty mercury glass picks.

I know they're not white but they are surrounded by white.

I love the old silver picks and decided they're just too pretty to store away for Christmas.

So, I decided to get them out and add them to my vintage millinery flowers.

And you know what?

I don't think they look like Christmas decorations at all!

I love the sparkle they give a display.

So, watch out!

Now I'm on the search for more silver mercury picks!

Gotta love them!

Thank you Kathleen of Faded Charm for hosting another wonderful White Wednesday!

A Few Treasures From The Hunt!

I wanted to share with you a couple of fun things I found this week-end.

I have to say there are a few things that I'm not ready to give up right away.

One of them being this wonderful old laundry cart.

I haven't found any with this particular print on it.

Sav-Ur-Bak

Isn't that great!

I'm afraid I found the perfect place for it.

I thought I could store my burlap pillows in it until they're ready to take to the shop.

Another thing I found was a set of 30 old Britannica Encyclopedias.

The cover on each book is a soft worn leather.

They are dated 1911.

I don't know, I have a thing for old books.

I just love how they look and these definitely fit into the "old look" I love.

And last, but not least a sweet little pitcher, another item to add to my collection.

That makes "3"!

Did you do well treasure hunting this week-end?
