Febuary, Mid Century Modern Finds & Valentine's Day

This winter has been a rough time for me as I had a terrible cold in December and yet again now.  My house clean out is on hold right now though it was going quite well till I got sick again.  The above picture of tulips make me think of Spring which I'm ready for but right know I'm just dreaming of.

My husband and I have both been collecting the above Pyrex bowls to add to my collection.

The above pieces are mid century modern pieces.

The clock and wall sconces I found a while ago in a worldwind stop at my favorite local second hand store.  My husband dropped me off, I had ten minutes and I surprised him coming out with a box full of stuff from a store I usually spend about forty five minutes in.

The lamps I found almost a year ago with no shades. I have been trying to find matching shades for them.  I haven't found them yet but the above shades are what I'm looking for.

Since I'm only posting every 2nd week I'll have to wish you a Happy Valentine's Day now since it will be over before I post again.

I Can't Help Falling In Love

---------------------------------- 

Wise men say  only fools rush in

But I can't help falling in love with you

Shall I stay, would it be a sin

If I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

Like a river flows surely to the sea

Darling, so it goes

Some things are meant to be

Take my hand, take my whole life too

For I can't help falling in love with you

For I can't help falling in love with you

My Collections / His Collection

In our household I have many collections.  My boyfriend collects fishing stuff.  Some of the following items are some of these things.

I found this small tin with a fish on it for him at the secondhand store.

A couple of weeks ago the doorbell kept ringing each day with his little ebay spending spree.  The above flies are some of the items he bought all are from England.

Oranges And Lemons

I've gone with an Orange and yellow theme post.  I've had quite a few items in these colors land in my shopping basket  lately.

The lemonade Pyrex containers I found one with a lid the other was lidless.
The orange Pyrex container I found with the lid.
The four bowls in orange and yellow are all Pyrex bowls.
The small Pyrex dish holding a orange and lemon is on top of a vintage tea towel with oranges and lemons on it. 
The tablecloth is also a vintage cloth in excellent condition.

This flower shopping bag is perfect for  going to the secondhand stores I can fold it up in my purse and if I have any items I've bought I have my own bag.

The licence plate is a 1967 British Columbia plate.
The color of the Marigolds worked perfect with my color theme.

These mug holders are something I'm always looking for in different colors.
As I've said before they bring back memories of my grandparents cabin.
The Cups are made in England.
