Basket




When I was little we got bunnies, ducks, big baskets and dressed in cremelins, wore hats and gloves and pattened leather shoes. My mom pin curled my hair and I went to church on Sunday.
 
                         My mixed media project was from a picture from my childhood, I added my elements of Beautiful lace with stiff cremelin.                                                
 




                    Now I still want my Easter basket but filled with treasures from the antique market!


 
  

 Vintage Door knobs and cabinet knobs as eggs; Porcelain angels as candy and a quilt rabbit as a Chocolate Rabbit...Oh how my tastes have changed
                                                                  This is candy to me!

Vintage Sweetgrass basket, lace and goodies

The cross symbolizes our faith of how Christ scarificed for us


 

I hope you have a wonderful Easter, Rejoice...Di

Pickin

Do you have Spring Fever?  I sure do, the grandboy and I went out and about yesterday and had a great pickin day

The blooms around here are so beautiful,

My first stop was at this new Collectibles & Antiques Shop call Flat Creek Pickers at 81 Weaverville HWY.
They just opened up this March and are the nicest girls.

                                            There was much to look at and a tailgate party to boot
             That table is divine, if my mama was still alive that would have been in the car she had a thing for tables, epecially marble topped.  Me, I have a chair fetish and my sister has a cabinet thing going on!
It is spring and these birdcages are fab!!

License plates are the best collectiblesNo, I did not buy this but did buy some driftwood from this dealer.  Driftwood only $5

Isn't this vanity sweet

Our next stop was at the Nursery.  The nicest couple own this and the view is beautiful, can't wait to show you what I bought here

 Of course we had to stop at the Screen Door and browse the antiques and bookstore...I could just take all this home with me and put in out in my stone path garden...maybe next time
 The visit here is never complete without a purchase from their bookstore, Ro scored with a book on the Dragon Master complete with a sword, jewels, ring and dragon skin...so much fun with my little Buddy.

I hope your Sunday is filled with Family, Joy and Blessings.

SPRING TIME

It'sin North Carolina

It was a local type of weekend.  We went to Greenville and stopped at some great junking shops.
 
                                                                 This fun shop had great signage outside
                                The lady who was working here directed us to her parents shop down the road

My great find today was this:  Is it a little package with it's mouth wide open?
                                                  It reminds me of a little baby bird with it's mouth open!
                                                      It's a beautiful purse!!  This was only $10 and I have visions of it carrying beautiful creations for each season adding a perfect addition of the touch of French Elegance

Or is it a bird nest?

My SPRING tool box creation was only $6!!!
