I've had the photos and scans for awhile but no time to post them. I think I've left out a few things too! Anyway, most of the linens will be posted on my tatting blog but I'll try to remember to put them here too. This one has one tiny brown spot that I hope to get out but if not, I can always crochet a blossom or even just embroider a tiny satin stitch in white over it. I don't really use things like this a lot but I love to look at them and marvel at the handwork. I think I paid $3.50 or right around that for this.
This fairy on the frog tickled me. I've considered painting it,watercolor style, but have not had time to even think on it much. It's a bit too small for outdoors unless in a low-growing flower garden which I don't have at the moment. I just like it. It could go in a big indoor pot as decoration too. I think it was $.49.
I got this plate at the flea market for $1.00. I got a similar white plate at Goodwill later which I'll have to post here once I get it photographed. This one was $1.00. The booth owner had 4 total but I didn't really care for the others.
Originally I tried to get everything in one shot and it wouldn't work so I kept reducing the number of items but never was happy with the picture. I need to clean the gold compact up and it will eventually hold some tatted lace. The little ceramic box is just big enough to hold a shuttle. I love little surprise containers like that. I think each of these was $.49 or perhaps $1 for the ceramic box.
I love cobalt blue glass and just happened to find this pitcher. There were other pieces but this one I especially liked. I think it was $3.00. The tatted hanky came from another booth and it was $1.00. I don't have a lot of cobalt blue but I have enough to use as a decorative collection. I just need to put it all together and find a way to display it! hmmm....it's time to paint my kitchen....
