Ironstone Pitchers and Royal Daulton Figurines...

I'm working on rearranging my house little by little. 

My pitchers have been sitting on my coffee table for over a year until I could decide where to display them. I finally cleared off the top of this old cabinet and moved most of the pitchers here.

So for my White Wednesday part of my post (seeing as I can only seem to find time to post once a week...) here are my old pitchers...I love both the clean white and  the crazed and stained.

The inside of the cabinet could use some rearranging too...

The old cabinet belonged to Mr. Wild's grandparents.

But for now it will stay like this...

The 5 Royal Daulton figurines were given to me by my grandmother.

She left them to me in her will. I had never asked for them. I do remember every time I went to her house when I was a little girl, I would look up at each one. She had a wide mantle and the 5 of them were spaced out, I'd start on the left side and move to the right stopping at each one to admire them but I never touched them. I have an idea she was watching me from around the corner to see what I did. That's probably why she left them to me...she knew they would be in good hands!

I still admire them.

Thanks for stopping!

New shelf part two...

As promised, here is the rest of my new 7 foot shelf.

I like it right now but as time goes I'm sure I'll add a little more or rearrange it somewhat.

The right side, not very much has changed here since last week's post other than adding a button card and a card of rhinestone trim...

Moving to the left...jars of mop buttons and a little bling just to keep it pretty...

One can never have too many mother of pearl buttons!

More mop buttons and one of my favorite finds...this old brooch...

Up close of the lovely rhinestone trim and an old transferware pitcher I found at Junk Bonanza last fall in Linda's booth.... Itsy Bits and Pieces.

I love color as much as I love shades of white so as we move further to the left here is some of my vintage ribbon, silk thread, tatting, crochet, and spools of tatting thread...

And at the far left end is a large jar of vintage Star crochet thread.

A lot of these treasures came from one of my favorite Etsy shops Exuberant Housewifery

And the entire shelf with the print that I finally recently took in to have framed. I've only had it for at least 20 years!!!!

I think a lot of your blogs have inspired me to get moving and do some of the things I have been procrastinating over....there sure is a ton of inspiration in our blogging world!

(Click on a picture and it shows up a whole lot better!)

The next goal is to straighten out my sewing table which is below this shelf...it's still a cluttered mess!

Working on my new shelf...

Mr. Wild put up a new extra long shelf for me a few weeks ago and I'm trying to make it useful yet pretty (it's part of my sewing room).

Then Carol at The Polka Dot Closet had a dress form party last week which inspired me to work on my small pin cushions dress forms. Prior to that they were just sitting on the shelf bare.

I picked up 3 on closeout at JoAnn's way last winter. They were covered with a lime green black and white fabric. I wasn't about to try to recover them and then it dawned on me that I could use my fabric paints and paint them.

I did have to put on about 3 coats to cover the black and with that much paint it does make them a little stiff but then I'm not really handling them anyway once they are on my shelf.

All I will show for now is the right side of the shelf...the rest is still questionable because it takes me so long to decide.

But at least I finished 'dressing' my dress forms and am happy with this part of the shelf.

My large jar of very old lace that I found at a flea market for a super good price and there are yards and yards of it.

I just started collecting a little bit of vintage ribbon...

I can see now why everyone likes it so much, the silk is just beautiful along with the pretty labels.

Now if I can just get the rest of the shelf they way I want...I'll post it next week.
(If you click on the photos you can see the 20 cents written on the cream silk ribbon!!!)

Thanks for taking a look!

Happy Valentine's Day!!!

Dress Form Party

I'm joining Carol at The Polka Dot Closet for her Dress Form Ball.

I picked up 3 pin cushion dress forms at Jo Ann's about a year ago on clearance. They were covered with a lime green, white and black printed fabric so rather than try to recover them I painted them with white fabric paint.

 I decorated one...so far...with vintage lace and pearls.

Be sure to check out Carol's party!

Thanks for stopping!

Vintage Goodies from Arizona....

Hi everyone! I'm back...I was only gone for 4 days but each day felt like a week!!!!

I did find time to stop at my favorite junk man...he has the best stuff!

I could not resist this awesome Doctors/Dentists Cabinet and it was a very reasonable price. 

It's heavy cast iron with perfect chippy white paint.

Wouldn't this be so cool in a bathroom holding towels or even better in my sewing room loaded full of vintage sewing treasures!

Look at those awesome legs!!!

It's missing 2 plate glass shelves but Mr. Wild says that can be fixed.

I just love this thing!

All the pictures here look better if you click on them to enlarge.

(picture taken in the junk shop)

 Then there was this mirror and it is large...sort of hard to tell here. I had to do everything so fast in those 4 days that I couldn't take the time to get a nice background. But it's a beautiful vintage mirror in perfect shape for $20.
The original price is written in pencil on the back...$5.50!

It's pretty in it's original gold but it could also be beautiful in white!

 And just a couple other little goodies, bad picture but the candle holder on the left I thought could be fun. It holds a glass chimney and a candle.

Thanks for stopping!
Thanks for the nice comments last week. I got my dad back here and they are doing a ton of tests...mainly, he's 98 and things are just wearing out but his mind is as sharp as ever!
