My Favorite Things

My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into Springs
These are a few of my favorite things

When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

The above picture I believe is an Inn that I took over a decade ago in Leavenworth, Washington in the United States.  It made me think of the song My Favorite Things.  It's a wonderful place to visit at Christmas time.

These vintage ornaments I can remember seeing at my grandparents place since I was small.  I now have them out at Christmas in my home.

Bubble lights are also something she always had up at Christmas.  The first picture with different color ones are my cousins the other ones are mine.

I was going through boxes in the basement and I found a box of costume jewelry that belonged to my boyfriends mom.  This brooch is one of the pieces.

These are some unsigned pieces of costume jewelry I have in my collection.

Thank you Brenda of Cozy Little House for your Welcome Wagon Friday visit to my blog. A wonderful surprise.

A Dress Mannequin, Pyrex And Paperweights

This weekend I didn't go to any garage sales Saturday or flea markets on Sunday.  I refused to get up when my boyfriend's alarm went off at 6:30 a.m. to get out there.  I just couldn't do it.  I got up at 8:30 a.m. and got some much needed housework done.  The following pictures are of finds I haven't had time to post till now.

This dress mannequin was a flea market find I got the body part and the base but it was short the pole in between.

Now we have a pole and it's standing tall.

My boyfriend found this piece of Daisy Pyrex for me.  It's a 80 oz. oval casserole dish with lid.

It looks like it was never used it was still in the original box.

This paperweight was a gift from my boyfriend.  It's signed on the bottom Edinburgh.  I'm not sure who made it all I know is it was made in Scotland.

These paperweights are part of my collection and unsigned.  I have a hard time not buying paperweights when I see them.
