Vintage Needlepoint

IMG_2267
My sister-in-law and I are huge fans of estate sales and like to stop by a few every Friday morning, if they are close by.  Sometimes we stop by again on Sunday if we see something, but would rather wait for the 30-50% off sale.  I'll be honest...I usually can't wait. :0)

This beautiful rose needlepoint picture is a recent find for $5.00.

I have a shabby chic/vintage look going on in my work/crafting area, so it's a perfect fit.

Thank you for stopping by!

New Bathroom Picture

Untitled
Just a new little something for the bathroom.

I'm trying to add more flowers to the room, so I thought I would start with Lily of the Valley and Forget-me-nots.

Happy May Day!

"The merriest month of the year arrives bringing with it sunshine, birdsong, apple blossoms, budding lilacs, and longer days to enjoy life as spring's promise is finally fulfilled. Start the month off on a high note with the celebration of May Day!" -Mrs. Sharp's Traditions


Untitled
Grace and her friend made bundles of flowers and tied the stems together with pretty ribbon.


Untitled
Now, they are off to deliver them to the neighbors.

Happy May Day!


'But I must gather knots of flowers,
And buds and garlands gay,
For I'm to be Queen o' the May, mother,
I'm to be Queen o' the May.'

-  Alfred Lord Tennyson

New Tablecloth

Untitled
Good morning!  My sister-in-law and I went to a few Estate sales this past Friday and I found this beautiful crocheted tablecloth.

Untitled
I used to have a white one that I loved, but it was too small for the new table we purchased 2 years ago.  I've been on the look-out for a replacement ever since.

Untitled
I made the centerpiece from a 3 tired tray I found at a local gift/candle shop, a few months ago.

Untitled
I lined the layers with moss and added ceramic birds, nests, eggs, and tiny pots.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

Cupcakes and Roses

Untitled

Good morning! Recently, a new cupcake shop opened near our house and yesterday we stopped by. Each day they have different flavors, which I thought was a neat idea. We got Chocolate Chip Cheesecake, Coconut Cream Pie, Hunka Chunka Banana Love, Key Lime, Raspberry Buckle, Scarlett's Red Velvet, And Wedding Cake.

Untitled
I'm really picky when it comes to baked goods, so I was pleasantly surprised. I cut them all into quarters, so everyone could try a variety.

Untitled
Now we are waiting for Friday...Chocolate Salted Caramel!

Untitled
I also found these discount roses and the grocery store.

Untitled
I'll enjoy them in the kitchen for a few days and then hang them upside down to dry for a little display in my craft room.

Thank you for stopping by!
