Monday Morning Meanderings

Went for a quick mooch around a few of my fave Opp Shops this morning and this is what I came home withA Beautiful old crocheted edge cloth.

A pale pink Tuscan trio


Buckles, buttons and ribbon.


A fine, white, large, crocheted square tablecloth as well as a very fine cream crocheted set of three doilies with a bird in the design.


The sweetest crisp white cotton apron with lovely cotton lace.


3/4 of a curly chenille bedspread, all clean and white.


A Hat Box!!!


A little worse for the wear but I'm delighted. I now have two! As well as some nice vintage kitchen glass items and another vintage suitcase for my linen storage.

A very 'white' morning :)

The hat box has scrubbed up very well but will need some repair to the stitching.

What treasures have you found lately?

My Barkcloth Wall Art/First blogging Anniversary giveaway finishes July 30 so please feel more than welcome to leave a comment and be in the draw.

Thanks for dropping by... Irene x

I'm loving it all!
And I'm really coveting the pale pink dish set! So pretty!

I always seem to come to your blog after Eileen has been :)

I LOVE your finds!! I especially love the hat box.

No treasures for me lately (because of my no-spend week)...but yesterday I did get an old push mower from freecycle and it still works! Not pretty but its very cool to me!

Wow, I just bought a hat box very similar to this a few weeks ago. I have painted it stark white and it looks fabulous.
