Etsy Cottage Style Vintage Alphabet Party

For November the Etsy Cottage Style Vintage Alphabet Party letters are W and X.  Well, I found a few W's to share but I am not lovin' the X!  Don't have a thing!  Sorry!  But I did find three W's.  And here they are:

This is a really cute vintage White Wicker child's purse.  I love the little pink flowers and bow attached to the top. Found this yesterday at an estate sale.

 Next is this vintage White Wedding cake topper.  Really sweet and so pretty!  Found in a thrift store and cleaned up so that I can put it in my booth at Merchant Square.

Last is my vintage White porcelain pitcher.  I have two of these simple but elegant pitchers.  Love them.

Sorry I have taken so long since my last blog, but my life is super busy right now.  Big sale this weekend at Merchant Square and I have spent most of the week preparing for that.  More in the near future!

September Alphabet Party

Once a month Etsy Cottage Style does an Alphabet Party.  This month participants are to post pictures and descriptions of vintage items they have beginning with the letters P, Q and R.  I had a lot of fun going through the house looking for vintage pieces.  Here are the ones I selected for the Alphabet Party.

Ironstone PITCHERS

old PEWTER PITCHER

The old pewter pitcher and cream and sugar set belong to my grandmother. 

vintage PURSES

The purse on the left is a shabby Whiting Davis.  The black one is old and studded with jewels.

coffee and tea POTS

The pink one is a Droll Designs pot I bought over 20 years ago.  The blue enamel biggin coffee pot above was found in Virginia.

vintage PETTICOATS

Remember these??  I had to wear several in order to get my skirts full enough.  I laugh at that now!

vintage ROSARIES

more vintage ROSARIES

For some reason this rosary collection just grew.  Guess it's because they don't take up much room!

Old wicker child's ROCKER

This old wicker rocker was my dad's.  He was born in 1910 (to 1994), so I can date this at being about 100 years old.  I love this little rocker.  The doll is one of about 40 I made back in the early 1990's.  I sold all but three, which I still have.  Perhaps I will feature the dolls in a post in a few days.

I skipped Q you say?!  I don't have anything vintage that begins with Q other than old cutter quilts.  Q is tough!  And here they are.

vintage cutter QUILTS

I use these in my art work. Believe me, they have been well used and well loved before I use them again in a piece of art work.

If you visit the Etsy Cottage Style blog post for the Alphabet Party, be sure to visit all the other wonderful blogs who have their vintage items posted.  Easy to do!!!

White Wednesday

Time for White Wednesday again.  Just put this arrangement together yesterday.  I found a white ironstone pitcher last weekend at a yard sale.  Found another a couple of months ago.  Suddenly realized that I had several pitchers so I changed the display on top of my china cabinet.
