How in this world do I accumulate so much? I know there are more of you out there!! You understand don't you? You know how it is ladies! No self control! The thrill of the hunt! And before you know it things have taken over! Well, I have been moving things around a bit and have decided to list some of my vintage pretties on my Etsy. I love vintage planters, especially the baby themed ones! They are just so darn cute aren't they? I don't know what it is about the old ones, but I just can't pass one by!


And here are some vintage Johnson Bros. Windsorware England 6 inch bowls in the Garden Bouquet pattern. There are 4 of them to this set.

And one night several years ago I was at an antique auction and won this pretty Jeanette Glass Delphite Blue Swirl depression bowl. Funny how you can remember where you got every single piece isn't it?
And I have to tell you that I reallylove this old pottery or stoneware bowl! I love the cool feel of the pottery bowl when I hold it. I love the worn charm. I think about what loving mother used this wonderful old bowl in her kitchen.

I love this piece! Here is a pretty vintage cherub or angel vase. It has applied flowers ( one has a broken petal) and pretty scrollwork and gold. I think that this piece is just so charming!

Follow the link to my ETSY to find these items and much more!

I have met some of the sweetest ladies in Etsy's new cottage style team. I would love to introduce you to my sweet, sweet friend, Marilyn, over at Our Victorian Cottage. Marilyn is not only a seller on Etsy, but she also has her own website where she sells all kinds of goodies! She is now carrying The Romantic Victorian Home Collection by Mary Chronis™! So, you will have to check out her website!! Her shop is just chocked full of pretties!

I also wanted to let you know about a giveaway over at my Etsy friend, Deborah's blog of Starry Night Impressions. She is going to Paris in October, (lucky lady), and she is going to be having a monthly give away in celebration of the event! She is also fairly new to blogging and I know that she will love for you to visit her over there!


I hope you will stop in to see these ladies and please give them a shout out from me too!

And the final thing is that I am reminding you again that my 100th post is coming closer and closer. And I will be having a giveaway too. Stay close!! It will be here before you know it!

I still LOVE that blue bowl! So fun to have a little exchange tonight on the CSST forum on Etsy. We will have to do it again sometime soon.
