VTT


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!

    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!

    Seeing your kitchen may end up costing me a lot of money, even with my thrifty buys. I've got the vintage red fever.
