When I first moved into our old 1850's home-I began collecting calling cards. I wanted a special place to put them where they would stand out in our entryway-like in the old days. I had this cherub stand (my entry is filled with antique cherub prints!) and presto-the tray fit right on top!
In my hallway is a stand where I have vintage calling cards, a couple of beaded purses, a vintage lipstick, and a silver compact. I put the tray with all these fun goodies on it several years ago when I collected calling cards and just added some bling!
This time of the year I'm always looking for vintage Easter items(I prefer to decorate only with old things!). Today was a lucky day because I took an extra few minutes to stop in a local antique store and spied this little girl-for only $12.00. She's a fun little one and will look good just sitting on one of our kitchen chairs!
My Dear BF Tete gave me these soooooo sweet slippers for Easter(we always exchange early so we can decorate with our goodies!). They are in mint condition and so soft. I've never seen anything like them(wish I love!) and will be so fun to decorate with. I'm looking for that special place(where the dogs won't get them and tear them up) to put them so I can see them everyday and enjoy them! I think they may look good next to some of my other child toys or clothes-it will be fun to figure it out! Thanks Tete for being such an amazing friend and for finding me such wonderful treasures!
These pics were also taken when we went to the Amana colonies outside the rocker museum. I thought they were kinda funny! How'd they get that in there?
This was attached to the windmill-made the man look like he was sawing when it was windy!
