Show and Tell Friday

Pin It Now!

It's Show and Tell Friday again! As I was driving home from work tonight (Thurs) I was thinking about what I would share with you this week. Once I got home and saw a package waiting for me I knew right away what it would be!

I won this old Haviland & Company Limoges cup and saucer on Ebay earlier this week and it arrived today! It was only $4.99 but then the shipping was $7.94. Still a good deal though! I think I see a new collection beginning!
It is so delicate and so translucent!
I took it over by my back door so I could take a picture in what little light was still left at 6:00 pm! I was looking for something to add to make the photos look a little nicer then I noticed a bouquet of roses that I had cut last weekend sitting right next to the teacup. They were faded and limp but a few of them looked so beautiful and I thought they would be perfect addition for my quick photo shoot!
There's something so beautiful about roses as they start to fade....sort of like older women...don't you think? Not quite at their prime but still so much to offer!

Halloween at Vintage and Vogue

Pin It Now!

As promised here are the great Halloween decor for sale at my favorite store, Vintage & Vogue in downtown Campbell, California! Isn't this guy above adorable?













Peek-a-boo...I see you...

This would be a good time to disclose to all of you that said I look so much younger in my new photos, the photo of me on the right sidebar has been retouched to remove my wrinkles! Ahhh...the magic of photo editing! I wish my skin really looked that smooth!


I hoped you enjoyed these Halloween photos. Vintage and Vogue will have their Christmas items out shortly after Halloween so I'll share those with you in the near future!

I used a random number generator to select the winner of the witch's boot. Between the comments and emails I received, there were 164 entries! The random number generator selected #7, which happens to be my lucky number but today it's Vintage Girl at Heart's lucky number! She is the winner because according to my email she was the 7th person to enter! Thanks everyone!

Halloween Giveaway!

Pin It Now!

Last week, you may remember I posted a picture of my Victorian boots that I put out for Halloween every year. To me, they look just like witches boots! Well, my mom saw that post and said she would like to have a giveaway on my blog for one of hers. She bought this years ago and there was only one.

So if you would like to win this old antique boot just in time for Halloween, please leave a comment below. This is open to those in the U.S. and Canada only (due to shipping costs.) If you don't have a blog, please be sure to leave your email address or you can send me an email (cindy95131@yahoo.com). The drawing will end on Tuesday, Oct 27th at midnight and I will do my best to get it to the winner before Halloween!

Show and Tell Friday

Pin It Now!

It's Show and Tell Friday and once again I'm sorry but I'm using photos I've already posted on here...yikes, some have been on here more than once! I'm going to have to plan my time better because it's getting dark so early now which makes it really hard to take good photographs after work! I guess I'll have to plan out my week's worth of posts on the weekends!
This week I decided to share some of my vintage linen and lace with you. I know...you've seen it all before..


I can hardly wait to decorate for Christmas after seeing this...


My favorite tablecloth, from my mom, of course! I need to take a better photo of this, it's so much prettier in person...
align="left"> Good thing you'll have a lot of other blogs to visit to see some original content! I promise I'll try to not run so many reruns in the future!
