Pearls and Lace Thursday #10

Pearls and Lace Thursday #10

The beauty of glass and pearls, old lace and hand painted china.

Why does the word 'vintage' just make my heart beat faster??

The picture below is from one of the little books I bought last weekend...

The little girl is sitting at a table and the inscription of the print is:

"You have curious things to eat",

a line from a poem in the Poems book.

I remember 'curious' things put in front of me as a child...and I probably didn't touch them!

I was what my parents called a 'picky' eater.

Still am!!

The pink brooch was a garage sale find about a month ago, and it now sits with this glass dresser set in my bathroom window, looking beautiful on a hand crocheted doily alongside the glass pearls. So Victorian and Vintage!!

In The Pink

I just wanted to share the first of a project I've started...it's called

CLEANING THE HOUSE!!!

If I understand this correctly, it means that every single object in my house is supposed to be clean and organized and in its place all at the same time.

I choose to disregard the part about 'all at the same time' as well as 'every single object'. I'd kill myself if I had to do that or even tried!

So, in keeping with the abbreviated version of cleaning the house, I've chosen to start cleaning one part of my house at a time, and the pink dishes are the first things to get a bath.

Hope you enjoy them.

I've also had another brilliant idea and would like your feedback on it.
I want to host a weekly post where everyone who wants to participate may do so. I'd like to have one called, "Show us Your Lace Tuesday" or something like that. Laces are some of my favorite things, and when I see pictures of what others have and use, I get all excited.
So, tell me what you think, and I'll start. Give me some good ideas of names too...perhaps I'll start by having a giveaway.


The dried roses are from my awesome wonderful husband. He has been wonderful to me on my birthdays and our anniversaries. I have kept every rose he's given me over the years and dried them for keepsakes. With some I've dried the petals and have them inside this glass vase to hold the roses that I've dried by hanging them upside down. I just love the light pink and cream colors when they're dried.

I suppose now I have to choose another part of the house to "clean", and then when I get it all pretty and dust-free I will take a picture of it. Just think! In a year or two, I will have a blog full of clean objects posted that will stay clean forever in pictures, and then I'll have to start all over again in the house and clean it all over again! (It will take me at LEAST that long to get to it all!!).

Please let me know what you think about the "Show us Your Lace Tuesday" idea!

One more thing...I just want to thank all of you who have decided to follow my blog! I never thought I'd have 20 people decide to actually follow ME! Wow! And I've had so much fun over at your blogs. You have inspired me to clean and decorate and make my house a home.

Hugs!
