I usually dream in vintage whites but I love it when I dream in pink too!

I love you Jim!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

gift of time...

Time flies.

Especially when you are busy or having fun!

Time goes by so fast.

I remember my parents always saying that.

I realize it now too.

When you know someone is so busy and takes the time to think of you and create something so special, just for you ~ it is the perfect gift.

Let me show you what I mean...

Pretty wonderful isn't it...

Such a thoughtful gift and from the heart...

Even the back is beautiful...

Thank you so much Jodie for your gift of time...

You are in my heart and I will treasure this always!

It is Vintage Inspiration Friday today over at Common Ground where Debra is sharing her beautiful Valentine Sunroom!  Next Friday she is inviting us all to her Vintage Valentine Party...

Jim and I have been married for 25 1/2 years but we have been together for almost 33 years.  Does that make us Vintage Valentines?

Thank you all so much for stopping by today and don't forget to enter my giveaway!

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!!

treasure filled weekend...

If you take a peek back a few posts you'll see that I kept leaving this sweet vintage book here and there hoping he'd get the hint.

Well ~ he did!! Thank you honey! When I got home from the shop there was a vase full of lovely cut flowers and a yummy box of chocolates!!

The shop I have a space in is at the Wrentham Country Store. We had a Valentine weekend sale and I treated myself to a few pieces I have been admiring like this little rose adorned Bavarian sugar bowl...it has lost it's cover but it is still as sweet! It's just perfect to hold some music scraps for a future project in my craft room hutch.

This beautiful milk glass pitcher with hand painted roses is just perfect for the top of my little medicine cabinet in my cottage style bathroom.

I also finally decided to get this fabulous vintage photo album. Love the cherub on the front!

Great metal scrolly clasp and corners too...



Most of the inside pages are in good condition and there are a few photos inside as well. This sweet girl was on the first page...
I think I'll display this for a bit then put it in my etsy shop. My Valentine and I also went antiquing yesterday. I'll share those finds real soon.

The surprises from my Valentine as well as the pretties I got for myself made for a wonderful treasure filled weekend! Hope you enjoyed yours too!!

pink pin money...

Growing up I remember my Nana asking me if I had "pin money" before I went out the door with friends or on a date. I guess she always made sure that my Mom had a dollar pinned to her clothes in case she needed to make change for a phone call or money to take the bus home. Later my Mom would use that phrase for the money she would save using coupons. She would save up her "pin money" to go to a flea market or estate sale and find a new treasure for her nest. My Mom and Nana are both gone now but I keep the tradition going.

How adorable is this pink pin money bank! A pretty pink china purse with roses and rhinestones to make even saving money pretty!!

I missed the deadline this week to participate in Pink Saturday but I thought I'd show you my pink treasure anyway and wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day!!!
