SOME MORE FOUND TREASURES

I hit a couple of REALLY good sales last week-end and came away with some more treasures for the shop.  I love it when I can find multiples of something; it makes a much more interesting display and offers choices to the customer.

These BEAUTIFUL hand embroidered and crocheted pillowcases had been stashed away for years in an attic.  After a good soaking, laundering, some starch and ironing, they are ready for you to enjoy or give as a gift.  I love seeing this wonderful handwork.  When I was a young girl, I learned to embroider and later made pillowcases for my "HOPE CHEST"!  That dates me, I know!  I don't have the patience for that these days, but I am so full of admiration for the woman that created these pieces.

 

The cases shown below are embroidered ALL OVER the front.  Aren't these gorgeous?

 

 

Here is a really pretty round tablecloth with a lovely monogram.



 

 

This is only a PORTION of the pretty pieces that I purchased.  There are MANY more pillowcases, and some lovely sheets that are embroidered as well.  They are still in the "prep" stage, but will be joining this group at Splendid soon.

I also found some wonderful OLD sheet music.  Going through these beautiful old songs was truly nostalgic.  I found myself singing to myself as I recalled my parents and their friends singing many of these.  The covers are beautiful too!  Wasn't Frank Sinatra pretty darn cute?  Some of these would be beautiful framed.

 

At another sale the same week-end, I found a wonderful collection of  ITALIAN FRAMES.  These are SO pretty and would make quite a statement with several hung on a wall together.  They are white, so will go nicely in a romantic country, cottage or shabby setting. 

I found a birdcage stand.....sorry, but I decided to keep the wicker chair!

 

And finally, some cute little MUSLIN drawstring bags.  I think they probably were  some old unused store stock.  They have a little drawstring to cinch them up.  I think these would be fun to EMBELLISH with bits of lace, ribbon, a stencil, buttons etc.  and give with a special little present inside.

 

 

All of these new treasures can be found at Splendid.  I hope you've enjoyed looking at them. 
Thanks for stopping by.
