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!

Treasure Shelf

I'm still slowly working on that wall....this is what I have below the baby dresses from last weeks post.


I found a wood shelf at Goodwill with a horrible design on the top. DH sawed it off, I painted it white and it sits on top of a small bookcase full of my quilting books. If I can find a new place for the books I'll fill the shelves up with treasures or I'll just cover the books up with a pretty piece of cloth.



A girl can never have too many mother of pearl buttons, lace and rhinestones...



This is the bottle that I unearthed just a very short distance from our house in a very old farm dump along with an old French Postcard.


I LOVE this old lilac chocolate box. It's one of my favorite treasures.

An assortment of treasures, I still need to find a little white feather to put in the old ink bottle...






A very old trade card for Garland Stoves and Ranges. On the back is a picture of an old cast iron stove. The front reads "Where the Wild Flowers Grows", an old millinery flower and some rhinestone mesh.








Thanks for stopping!
