I love them again

Sometimes I think these things are just waiting for me. When they arrive on the little farm they have made their journey home. They are excited to jump into the car. I feel like Santa on the Island of Misfit Toys. I swoop in and they jump into my bag. I love them again.

Sort of silly, I know.

Rose tray

Fabric scraps on the old fence

Old Metal Tray- Unusual shape and size

Old quilt scraps- stains and all

I'm always so proud that I love this stuff. Is proud the right word?
Lucky?
Blessed?
All of the above.

I really do love them again.
And I know I'm better for it.

For some reason this reminds me of the Velveteen Rabbit. You're making them real again. Beautiful finds.

Not silly. Admirable, and just the way I feel when I find a new thrifted treasure. I fall in love.

They jumped in your car just like my car turns into GW without being told to, hmmmm.
The patchwork quilt drew me in right away and I can just feel its comfort on a damp evening outside.

I have that exact same flowered tray (the first picture) in my dining room! I had to jump from the computer and run to the dining room to make sure and yes it's the same one....you have great taste :-)

Hi--just stopping in for a visit...I have been out of the loop and I am sure missing everyone. :)

I love your finds....I know it's wrong...but I am always just a bit jealous of your great treasures you find. :) Hope you can stop by soon for a visit. :)

The people who used to own them are long gone and it does seem they've been waiting for you.

I love finding and bringing home things like that, too...can't resist vintage pretty floral sheets.

p.s. love your "what you wore pics" - you have a great sense of style and I especially love the bargains!
