Happy Friday! To celebrate the day I am joining Debra over at Common Ground for Vintage Inspiration Friday! I thought I would share with you this old beauty I received from my thoughtful sister in law Christine...
A wonderful chippy old cracker tin! Thank you again Christine, you are so sweet! I found the perfect place for it on the ledge above my couch...
It also looks great holding all the beautiful cards I received from family and friends...
As the beautiful flower arrangements I received are beginning to fade away I had fun saving a few blooms and scattering them around my nest...
...inviting Spring to hurry up...
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I feel well enough to do a little treasure hunting this weekend! What do you have planned?
I am so happy you stopped by and hope you have a wonderful day!!

What a nice sister in law! Great tin. I love the line/row of roses on your mantel in the little glasses...how sweet. They look beautiful. I'm hoping to make it to WCS today. I'll probably bring my mom along. Have a great weekend! :)

Awesome gift, Sandi! I love the dark against the white in your room. They really compliment each other. :) Your flowers are truly a welcomed breath of spring! I'll be doing some major spring cleaning this weekend before we leave on vacation. I LUV coming home to a squeaky clean house! :)

What a sweet treasure from your SIL. I LOVE the individual roses on your mantle!
I'm so happy, it's going to be 60 degrees tomorrow and I am going to a gigantic indoor "yard sale" being held by the Girl Scouts tomorrow.
Hope you're able to venture out and thrift. Good luck!

Oh wow, lucky you.. Alot of fabulous pictures and that box is so awesome, don't you just love how you can mix white and prettys with rusty and shabby.

Beautiful post. I love the tin. When I first saw the picture I thought it was a match to the wooden cinnamon box I found at a yardsale today. Aren't old boxes the greatest. You sister in law was so sweet to give it to you. I love how you have cards in yours. I am thinking about putting a vase of flowers in mine. Have a great weekend, ~~Sherry~~
Everything looks so beautiful, Sandi! I hope you're able to get out to the sales, too--get lots of rest tonight!

Sandi- Well, first off...I hope you do feel well enough to get out and do a bit of popping around this weekend-I am sure it is kind of a day-by-day recovery at this point.
I love that old tin. Don't you love it when someone knows you well enough to know how much you appreciate OLD things...and didn't rush out to buy you a NEW tin? Gotta love a sil like that!
Lovely blog today with all the flowers strewn here and there- xxoo Diana
Those pictures are amazing! I am especially loving the individual roses in the tiny vases....
Have a great weekend....
Lisa

THANKS for the sweet words about my grandbabies!
Sandi this is so charming. I love old boxes of any kind, I tend to pass them up though, but then regret it. Very pretty. xoxo tami
Love your blossoms, coaxing Spring along. It would be great to have you be a part of Seasonal Sundays.

What a great blog! I can relate to so much of what you have - what a great name! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my "Outhouse" post. I love having new faces! I'm going to jump in as a follower so I can keep up with all you do. Have a blessed week! Sandi
I can't get your "follower" thingy to come up, so I'm going to try again later. Sorry! Sandi
My father used to collect all those kind of tins/boxes. But that one is an amazing one. I like all the detail still on it and it looks right at home with all your wonderful white.

Hey Sandi, that tin is amazing, you don't run across these very often, and I love all the roses! So glad you linked up to VIF, sorry to be so slow getting here!
xo,
Debra
