It's white Wednesday again! The sterling silver dish and the mother-of-pearl button and buckles were in the box that my mom sent me. My mom collected mother-of-pearl buttons and buckles. I think she was way ahead of her time! Now they are more popular than ever!
My dad bought this house at Walmart a few years ago. It's just a flat piece that was meant to be hung on the wall. My dad turned it into a planter by building 3 sides with a hole in the top.
These little white shoes were Vince's. I bought both my kids Stride Rite shoes when they started walking. So cute! 
I have this wicker cart sitting at the bottom of my stairs. I have it holding some of my vintage linens. Looking at this photo makes me want to dig through it and look at all the pretties!Please stop by Kathleen's blog~ Faded Charm to see other White Wednesday participants! She's also having a giveaway this week!!!

Wow I looked at that cart to buy,
but it was so priceee with the
shipping I backed out now I wish
I would have ordered it. Your mom
is a very smart woman and your dad
is a very smart man and the apple
doesn't fall far from the tree.
I love mother of pearl buttons,since I sew all the time
I have several that I just can't
"seam" to use,just display.
I have always wanted that darling cart! Lucky girl you!

White Wednesday needs to be renamed Eye Candy!
You always have the most beautiful images. Love the cart and both of your parents have handed down a useful trait to you for collecting and creating!! Those mother of pearl buckles are to die for!! xOxO
Hi Cindy,
Happy White Wednesday! Lovely whites. I love, love, love your basket cart. Where did you find that? It is awesome. :-)
Hugs,

Pretty pics Cindy. I love the basket of linens!
Cindy, I think I have those same buckles in one of my button jars. I vaguely remember a white velvet sash sliding through one of them.
It is more than white Wednesday.
It is nostalgic. What is it about pearl buttons, baby shoes, vinatage linens, that just grab your heart? Add Dad in the mix and you have a wonderful day to visit your blog.
Love the wicker cart and I am thinking how much fun it would be to go through your linen pile!
Your photos are always so inspiring!
Those shoes are adorable! Pulls at my heartstrings.
I love the cart with the vintage linens in it! I've been looking for one of those for a while. And linens are a weakness of mine. Thanks for the great pictures, as always.
Cindy~
You always have the best heirlooms and mementos!! And lucky for you today~in white!! I love the baby shoes. That is one thing I didn't save. I have all those missing teeth and the first lock of hair, but no shoes....
Love the wicker hamper, wicker anything!
Happy White Wedensday, my friend!

Happy White Wednesday, Cindy! Your whites are lovely. I just love the planter your father made you. It is gorgeous! My boys had similar shoes when they started walking. Very cute! Have a wonderful evening.

Hi Cindy,

Wow, Wow and Wow!!!!!! I love all these beautiful things. I wish I could have everything that you have shown today! I'm whinning again, because I want, I want, I want.
Thank you for sharing these lovely items, I especially love the baby shoes. My son had shoes like that too, how sweet.
Hi Cindy. How funny I have some vintage buckles and lots of mother of pearl buttons. I think they are so pretty.

Pretty White Wednesday post! Love the market basket with the linens. Makes me want to come help you dig through them. Also read a few posts I missed this past week (crazy week) & LOVE the stuff Mom sent you. That salt shaker made me drool because I have a weakness for them. And loved the miss matched silverware. I have a tea cart that i would love to trade for something as wonderful as that candlelabra. You are a lucky girl. Is the Show & Tell posting time still midnight? I missed the last couple of weeks. HUGS!
That house is precious!!! And that you dad made it into something more functional is just amazing!!! He's a keeper!! ;}

Hi Cindy

Cindy - You just gave me a flashback with the picture of the Stride Rite shoes! When my daughter was learning to walk, my aunt would say she needs Stride Rite. I was a single mom-just divorced- and no way could afford them. Well my Aunt brought her by my work one evening (1978) and she had bought her a pair. She walked all over my office.
It's no wonder you are so talented. Your Mom and Dad gave you a wonderful head start! Love the little house. From Walmart? Amazing! Very pretty White Wednesday post.
Love that basket of linens Cindy:)
Blessings,
