Vintage Black Friday Tole Tray and Beaded Purse

I am joining Vintage Black Friday at The French Cupboard with Jill from Gypsy Brocante.

I just love looking at everyone's vintage treasures, don't you? Imagine my suprise when I found this wonderful beaded purse with mother of pearl cameos on the clasp. I have never seen anything like this, at the same time I purchased a white one which I will have to share on White Wednesday, although I gave it to my SIL for Christmas, I still have pictures of the beauty. Where did I find it? At the GW of course, for $3.99.

I think this would look good with an outfit of jeans and high heel black boots, what do you think?

This beauty came to me at the Habitat store, she is a little beat up and has some rusty spots, but still has that vintage vibe
I love the hand painted roses and the detail in the design around the edges.

Hope you go and check out the other posts for Vintage Black Friday!

White Wednesday

Today I am participating in "White Wednesday" over at Faded Charm.

I just went to my china cabinet and started taking some pictures of the white things that I love. That little bride and groom was a wedding gift. I also have a collection of Milk glass and this pedestal bowl is beautiful.


These are some of my ironstone pitchers with my "new" vintage silverware.

I love black and white together. These are some new plates I recently purchased at TJ's. The silverware is vintage, most of the pieces are silverplate, I hit the jackpot the other day at our Hospise Haven Thrift store, with the silverware.

Pardon the glare on the glass, I have a hard time with the window/glass glare in the dining room.

These are my first ever transferware dishes. There were only 4 dinner plates and 3 dessert plates, so now I am on the look out for more pieces. It is Royal Stafford of England.

The gorgeous white napkin or is it a handferchief was one of 3 that I found at GW for $.57 each.

I just love a pop of white and how white always looks good with everything. It is so pure and simple. Can't go wrong with white.

Part II Tabletop Tuesday

Well my post yesterday was cut short, I am sure due to user error, but these are the rest of the pictures from my Tabletop Tuesday post. Love these Primroses, these always remind of spring.
My cloche over a my Beatrix Potter tea cup. I did post some of these yesterday, but today I have a close up, keep scrolling down.

Ahh here is the close up isn't it beautiful, it is Royal Doulton from England.

Here is my Beatrix Potter family under glass in front their eggplant home. This is a PartyLite tea light holder. Such a sweet little vignette, don't you think?

I must confess I don't know all the character's and their names, but I used to know.

I love your comments.
