Isn't it time for spring by now?? This wishy washy weather is keeping me inside
today. No junkin' for me today! So I thought I would share with you all some
close-up shots of just some of my favorite treasures.....

Pretty victorian rubber-like molds...love how the light shines on them...

Never enough old jars filled with vintage crocheted lace....

Old tattered books displayed under a cloche....

If these old victorian shoes could talk...the stories they could tell...

My favorite trophy of all....always on the hunt for more....

Victorian rhinestone jewelry always gets my heart to racing

when found at estate sales.....

I have started with my spring cleaning, downsizing is always

a part of the process, I am loving my kitchen more these days...

I just love this old ceiling tin planter box, found this past weekend

for only 8.00! I just added some tea-stained roses...so pretty!!

Tea-stained roses mixed with vintage ironstone....a lovely combination!!

I hope you all have enjoyed your visit...I appreciate all your nice comments!!

Have a wonderful day~~~Cheryl

IRONSTONE COLLECTION

THE WEATHER HERE IN GEORGIA HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL!!
IT IS SO NICE TO OPEN UP THE WINDOWS AND BREATHE IN THE FRESH AIR!

I LOVE HOW THE SUN IS SHINING THROUGH THE WINDOWS AND MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO MUCH PRETTIER!!

I THOUGHT SINCE IT WAS SUCH A BRIGHT SUNNY DAY...THAT I WOULD SHARE WITH YOU ALL PICTURES MY DINING ROOM AND IRONSTONE COLLECTION!

I DON'T THINK I COULD ADD ANYMORE TO THIS COLLECTION WITHOUT IT LOOKING TOO CROWDED, DON'T YOU AGREE??

I LOVE HOW A TOUCH OF BLACK HERE AND THERE ADDS JUST A LITTLE MORE OF A CLASSIC ELEGANT LOOK....A LITTLE CONTRAST BETWEEN ALL THE WHITE...

BEDROOM MAKEOVER WITH A LITTLE BURLAP & RUST

A corner cabinet filled with tarnished silver, early 1900's ladies
shoes, black and white cabinet photos, vintage jewelry, and old cameras
sits in the corner of the guest room....that's if we should ever have guests,
you all are more than welcome for a visit!

I had the pleasure of setting up with my friend Carol for
an antique show last month. It is a lot of hard work with loading
and unloading....but the fun part is buying and swapping with the
other dealers, that's where I found these fabulous vintage shoes,
I traded with another dealer and got three different pair!! Love
them! Now I have shoes for displaying my vintage rhinestone shoe clips!!


I love this rusty wire basket that I acquired for all my hard work
helping my friend Carol with the antique show last month! It sits
with my antique dress form with another rusty plant stand with
tea-stained roses!


One corner of this room with creamy beige furniture, except
for the oak dresser that I wish hubby would get rid of!! How is
it that a man would care so much about a piece of furniture?
It will be sold, if I have anything to say about it!! I am trying
to make the best of it for now.
And the best for last, I just love these burlap pillow slips
I found on Etsy. The next thing I would change out would be the bark cloth curtains, maybe some burlap or tea-stained crocheted panels....we'll see. For now, I hope
you enjoyed this little makeover, and gives someone
some inspiration for their next makeover. Hope you
all have a wonderful week!!

Estate Finds~Antique Wedding Photos

Today I thought I would share with you all my estate sale finds for this past weekend. A stack of suitcases, that look great stacked as a side table in my bedroom next to my favorite
dress form. Just what this corner needed, it was a little boring to me before. Love it now.

This is something I don't find all the time. from the estate of a 90-year old lady. This house was

packed with great finds, this was one of my favorites, 5 large antique black & white wedding
photos!! I LOVE these...They are gorgeous, and look awesome with all my vintage cake toppers!!

Some close-ups, love the lace veil and the gorgeous flowers! What it must have been like in those days, very romantic!!

I hope you have enjoyed the photos. I love to collect old black & whites! Hope you all have a wonderful day....Happy Junkin!!
