Vintage Treasures

I can’t seem to go anywhere that I don’t make a pit-stop at an antique mall or a thrift shop and the last couple of weeks were no different.  I found some adorable things in local shops.
I did a lot of shopping online too - Etsy, E-bay, and Totsy. Packages are showing up at the door and making it feel like Christmas is on it’s way!

    Hello Rhonda,
    Oh buying for yourself is GREAT:) Love those darling little chalk ware sheep...so sweet! I got a few goodies at Harvest on Friday...what a huge store. Have y'all read Gene's book "All In"? If not, it's a wonderful book..no matter which school you support. Very happy that we have this kind of man as our head coach. Thanks so much for coming to my party.

    Blessings,
    Linda

    Lovely, Rhonda! I recognize the second one ~ St. Theresa of Lisiuex. I went to Catholic school for 8 years growing up in Brooklyn and it was St. Theresa of Lisiuex parish {probably spelling wrong} but we all referred to it as Little Flower.
