Treasures.....

Today I visited my local flea.... I found some circus tickets, a wicker purse (plastic) which will be foofed soon, some sweet doilies and a doll that I love!
I picked up the doll and asked the vendor how much, $3... it was not leaving my hands! Well, another lady saw me with it and followed me all around the booth just staring at her! She finally said, "She's not German you know!" I replied, "I know, but she is the perfect state of tattered and I love her" The lady "Harummmphed" me and left the booth... Yes she is made of composition and not porcelain...but she is wonderful... The seam binding was from a little trip hubby and I took last week...


The plates are also from that trip, I got three plates and three salad plates. The cup and saucer and millinery are thrift shop finds... I will be re-doing the cup and saucer soon!

This ugly printers tray will soon be renovated into, hopefully, something wonderful using my "good stuff" for Karla's little linky party...The polka dot bowl was just plain happy, thought it would be cute with my easter goodies and at 54 cents, I couldn't pass it up!


On another note, my cute hubby ordered these from Ozma of Odds on Etsy....she has wonderful ex-voto tags and boxes and the bottom card is a pearl garland. I love them! I hope you have a wonderful week! Go find a treasure and make something pretty! karen....

I love your perfect doll Karen!! Good thing you didn't set it down- sounds like she may have snatched it up!
