On one of my recent trips to Relics Antique Mall
I found a few items that were "keepers".
You, know, those things you buy because they would look so
wonderful in your booth space,
but never make it?
This large white suitcase was a great find to house some of my jewelry supplies.
I've painted a lot of old suitcases white, but this was in great shape
and older than most white luggage that I've seen.
The gorgeous roses on this embroidered pillow cover were a perfect match
for the roses in the gold frenchy coverlet.
It's been living out here on the porch.
These quilt squares stopped me in my tracks.
From a very old "Friendship Quilt" here locally in Missouri,
I loved the red and white theme and the floral embroidery.
I think I may eventually make these into pillows
using a loose weave linen fabric that I have.
A good project for a rainy day.
This little starched crocheted hanging heart I've had for a few years.
The light in the sun room just calls out for photographing my goodies.
Everything now goes back to it's place.

Hope you're having a wonderful week.
I'm getting the house ready for fall.
September 1 is my day!
big hugs,
