Keepers

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,
