New treasures~

I spent the day off shopping with a friend and found some new treasures, like this little blue bottle that matches the canning jars I have. It was nice to take a day away from work, garden and family. Just a day to relax. Sometimes with my job being what it is I never get away from it. Then there have been some family issues that I was happy to leave behind......and to find some pretty new things was just plain fun!
Two little brown crocks, great for all the summer flowers I cut. I also found a couple of picinic baskets to add to the little one I found a while back. Don't they look cute all in a stack?

Recently Aquired~Tues Display Theme

 I am joining Misi over at 1890 Gablehouse Musings for her Tuesday Display Theme. A couple weeks back I got a new cabinet and these are a few new things I got to fill it. This handmade bunny just stole my heart.
 The I found this yelloware bowl and it is perfect for here.
 Two small pewter plates can always be of use and now I am on the search for more.
 Then last but not least I found this little picnic basket. I knew I had to have it the minute I saw it. I think I will fill it with sweet annie or something else wonderful, right now I just love it as is.


This is my cabinet I found at the Gingham Goose, you can see it in more detail HERE. This is the reason I bought my new little treasures. It is hanging in my dining room and I just love looking at it and the contents.
I love Misi's Tuesday Display Theme, hop on over and join the fun~

The brass tag says 1887~ Baskets


This basket covered jug is a fav of mine. The tag says California Brandy 1887 and when we got the jug there was brandy in it....original or not who knows? The jug came from my hubby's great uncle's home and he was 92 at the time that was about 36 yrs ago. The cork in the top dried out and I was not to sure about the contents so I emptied it out. Most likely a mistake, but too late now.


Some baskets I made on the shelf in my pantry.
I made this one and the little door knob basket too. I don't know if I even remember how, but maybe I should get back at basket making.....
The basket I got a couple of weeks ago. It now holds extra throws under the coffee table in the living room.
So I am joining Misty over at 1890 Gable House Musings for her Tuesday Chain. So come on and join the fun. Who does not love baskets?
