Vintage Jewelry Love

Hello everyone Thank you for stopping by today! I suspect many of you have a thing for vintage jewelry, just like me. I am always on the look out for tarnished treasures when I’m out antiquing. Today I’m posting a round up of pretty pictures – pretty because they are full of the vintage […]

Happy Independence Day!

(A WWII-era embroidered patriotic framed pillowcase, found antiquing this past weekend in PA. This special piece has found a new home in my son’s nautical bedroom) Have a safe and fun Independence Day!

Mr. Postman

Tarnished and Treasured {Part 1}

Hello. Thanks for stopping by today! I was lucky to spend a wonderful evening with a friend over the weekend.

If you’d like to update your […]

Birthday boys and Beads

That about sums up my weekend. 🙂 On Saturday it was an early birthday party for my 6-going-on-7 year old son. He and his brothers are completely obsessed with Legos so you can guess what kind of theme he asked for this year! We rented a space through the community center that is actually an […]
