Sunday Sharing ~


Happy Sunday my friends ~

As you know, Mr. Vintage and I have put our house up for sale and there have been several couples through the house.  Wow, it's alot of work putting your house up.  Clean, clean, clean at a moment's notice.  But, it's all good ~ it's time to downsize and I am looking forward to it. 

Well, yesterday we had two showings and Mr. Vintage and I had to leave the residence.  So, Mr. Vintage asked me whether I would like to browse through our favourite thrifting stores ~ yes~! yes~! and YES~!

I spotted something out of the corner of my eye ~


Isn't this footed bowl just lovely? 


Love the pattern and the delicacy of the painting ~



I looked and yes, my friends, it's Limoges.  I picked her up for $4.00 ~ 


When I got to the check out, there were three little books that had no covers.  I asked the lady how much they were and she said "We're throwing them out, they have no covers".  She gave them to me.  Now I have them resting on the coffee table.  I will do something with them ~


I thought I would also share with you my violets.  They are blooming again ~ I so love afican violets and speaking of which ~


I also want to share with you my little wall flower Sophie ~  She is such a little princess ~


She loves to nap ~

What are you doing today?  Treasure hunting?  Thrifting? Napping? ~  please share with me ~
I'd love to hear

((((Hugs))))

  1. I can sympathize with you on the stress of moving. The Rock Star and I have moved several times during our marriage. You are so fortunate to have Mr. Vintage to distract and entertain you during those trying times when you have made your home look PERFECT and then you have to leave for a showing!
    Good Luck!

  2. I wondered if you are still planning on moving. I dread that day should it ever come! I am biding my time before I head to church this morning. Have a blessed day!

  9. Those books for free were a lucky find!!! I love the footed bowl, too. Good luck in selling your house, and with down sizing.
    My hubby and I are on the west coast visiting our kids, so I'm off to church and visiting with friends today.
    Have a great day.
    Hugs, cindy

  14. That is one of the most beautiful bowls I ever seen! I *love* Limoges. I can't believe you found that for $4. Now that is a steal!

    Sophie is such a pretty little girl. You mentioned on my blog that she was going to be "fixed" soon and that they would be sending her home with a cone to wear. When I had Clementine "fixed" a couple of years ago, they didn't send her home with a cone, and she was fine. Sophie might not even need it.

  15. Such a beauty of a dish! And books with no covers for free! Fun weekend. Well, minus the house showing. I have only sold a house twice, but that part was so hard for me. And each one sold on the first day! Thank goodness or I might have been a wreck!
