Favorite Things




I'm afraid I have far too many. That's why I'm able to find goodies at antique malls and thrift stores. I like a lot of different things as you can tell from this list.

baskets
crocks
butter pats
cups and saucers
creamers
wooden miniature houses
books
bookmarks
old letters
birdhouses
cloches
bowls
pitchers
oil paintings
scissor cuts
hearts
candlesticks
plates and platters
schoolhouses
children figurines
sculptures
old keys
cookie cutters
vintage children's blocks
old croquet balls
garden statues
Easter eggs
Christmas ornaments
etc.
'cause I'm sure I forgot some.
Oh, yeah, baby cups, miniature chairs, postcards. . . gee, I didn't realize how many favorite things I collect. I'm sure in future posts you'll be seeing more of the stuff that's gathering dust around here. Hope you are like me and enjoy seeing other people's personal treasures and how they decorate with them. Thanks for being here.

Sandy, I love seeing your treasures!!

...love those old croquette balls especially!...I like things you can use or touch/feel..pretty/cute..
..does that cover it all?lol

..how about wooden spools?..I'm button...button..button crazy!
..funny how some collections fade to the back for a while..and new ones get started..sometimes unexpectedly..you just notice you gravitate towards them..my new thing..cream, silver colored items.

...what's your newest collection?
...keep on showing us your neat stuff!lol

Summer, thanks for your comments. You are so right about some collections fading and others getting started. Advertising tins were once real big with me, especially those that featured children...collected Crayola tins, too. Guess my most recent collecting has centered on urns... can't believe I left those off my list. Also like cream items...have several vintage planters and bowls in this color.
