A re-do and garage sale finds!

I received a phone call from a friend to come and to take a look
at her mothers treasures.....these things were in a box that I purchased.
look at these sweet little doll cookware set.
and these little glass and pitcher set.
at first I thought they were plastic.
and these sweet little child's dish set with a soup terrine.

and here is my before picture of my living room....
and my after picture....
but hold onto your seat here is the best find yesterday

this pillow is so cool......so this lady told me about another lady
who is getting ready to have a sale and I went to her house today
I think I died and went to 
Mid-Century heaven......just the coolest!


 I will post everything soon but I have to tell you
one of my finds is a vintage flocked white Christmas tree
I thinks its 8ft......Pinch me!
 I have wanted one of these , forever !!!

    And look at all that Portmerion behind your other lovely finds!

    Thanks for your comment - my boys do things like that too, and it doesn't seem to harm them! But I do reserve swimming for very hot days. The rain's coming in tonight so the heat seems to be over for a while.
