I have a few cutesy items to share here that I got at antique/thrift shops this past weekend.
First is the tiny pair of salt and pepper shakers that I forgot to post yesterday. They're not even 2 inches/5 cm tall!
A pretty table runner/dresser scarf.
I absolutely couldn't leave this dishtowel in the store! I can just imagine the poor woman who embroidered it saying, "I'm a happy housewife, I'm a happy housewife, I'm a happy housewife . . . "! I wonder if she ever convinced herself?
I'd love to show more stuff, but will wait until next week!

those are so pretty. I also collect salt and pepper shakers and embroidered towels.
Love the happy happy housewife!
That towel is priceless! It would take more than a towel to convince me. Like a dishwasher. I'd definitely be convinced if I had a dishwasher. Unfortunately I AM the dishwasher!
Looks like an overwhelmed housewife to me!
I love those red top s & p's! And, I'd buy that dish towel no matter the cost...happy happy housewife, priceless!
That towel has me in a fit of laughter! Too cute!!!
that towel is so funny!
Seeing your kitchen may end up costing me a lot of money, even with my thrifty buys. I've got the vintage red fever.

She knew just how "happy" she was! I love the humor in this embroidery!
love your finds especially the embroidered tea-towel..what FUN :)
laughing way too hard here. I think the long ago embroiderer must have seen me in the future!
I just purchased an embroidery machine so I'm looking forward to having fun with tea towels-I'll have to remember that one!
What a sweet tea towel. I would have had to grab it up too.
