vintage black treasures...

I love to participate in Show and Tell Friday hosted by Cindy of My Romantic Home. I love her new blog look! I recently discovered Vintage Black Friday hosted by French Cupboard which is held on the first Friday of each month. You know I am one who loves dreamy vintage whites but I do like to add in a few of my vintage black treasures for some interesting contrast. I learned how to feather my nest from the best, my Mom. This vintage black mink trimmed hat was hers...

Other than some tearing in the netting it is in wonderful vintage condition. I have one just like it in the shop but it doesn't have any netting. This vintage black fan was a find on one of Mom's treasure hunts...

It has seen better days though, when it is fully opened it is broken at the center and will just flip over...
I am sure I am probably responsible for most of the damage as I remember loving it as a child too, always opening it even though my Mom told me how delicate it was!
If you've been following my past musings (and thank you so much if you do!) you know how I love sweet vintage books...

Isn't this lovely! My Mom purchased this not only because it is lovely but because it is by H.S. Perkins...Perkins was her maiden name! It is full of wonderful aged pages of meaningful songs like how I feel about all you kindred spirits visiting and leaving such nice comments...
I'm so glad you stopped by...now go have fun and check out what Show and Tell Friday and Vintage Black Friday have waiting for you...hope to see you soon!
