Around the House........

This past week I've been (way) under the weather!  Most of it has been spent in the bed trying to recoup from whatever this is. It's not been fun and it's put me way behind in everything from housework to blogging!  Since I didn't get any new photos taken, I'm going to show some of my favorite things from around the house that I have saved, they are all thrifty treasures except for the quilt, but, since it was free, maybe that counts!  Hope to be up and running at full speed soon!

I love this tiny little riding hat, it was the start of a collection!

This little iron scottie was to cute to resist!

Picked this lock up at the flea

I got this quilt from my grandma's house after she passed away.  She used to let me and my cousins play with it, so glad it survived!  Don't know why I picked it up, I was 19 and not into anything back then.  Later, I had it appraised and was told it was late 1800's and that she had not seen this pattern before.  The closest she came up with was the possibility of  it being a pattern called George Washington's cherry tree.  Unfortunately, I have no idea where she got it.

Couldn't resist this little red drawer turned into a shelf, just right for my trophies!

Picked it up at a consignment shop.

Picked this primitive gold box at the same consignment shop.  I use it to hold the vintage 1960's  Old Miners Day buttons from  celebrations held every year in Big Bear CA,  where we spent a lot of time as teenagers  at my Aunt's cabin.

 

These are a few of my vintage tablecloths that I put out and use in the fall.

Till next time......
