I tune everyday to what new beautiful things she is going to share...I want to "play house" in her house.
Today I want to share a new collection that I decided to start...well, I am not sure that I can call it a collection yet. You see I found the prettiest, vintage cake topper at a yard sale this summer. The woman that was selling said it was her mom's. Her mom was married in 1960. I am not sure why she was selling it...it seems like something that you would want to save. I could not pass it up. It is like new and so beautiful and pink.
I bought it and brought it home. I have been on the lookout for more...so far I have only found a couple of ring bearer pillows but I will keep looking. I love the hunt.
The next thing I have to show is something I actually found. I got this piece for just the hauling. It is not as pretty as it could be but I think it has potential.
Hopefully, I will be able to use it for show and tell next week...looking pretty.
I think I am going to use this in my dining room after it is done.
Head on over to My Romantic Home for other great Show and Tell goodies.

That piece of furniture is very pretty but I can picture it now all dressed up. Can't wait to see it.
ReplyDeleteLove that pretty cake topper! And your dresser find has great potential! It is a really nice looking piece!
ReplyDeleteThat cake topper is lovely and the dresser was just a great find. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAnxious I am to see the refinished chest. Love the curves of its drawers. And the cake topper? Why on earth, do you wonder, would she want to sell it being her mother's? You saved it from the trash...good for you!!!
ReplyDeleteMy Show n Tell, HERE, ---it's 32 degrees out, and I have one lone iris blooming!!! Come see the rich beautiful purple!!...in the dead of winter.
Happy Friday!
Can't wait to see what you do to the dresser. I can't wait for yard sells to start in my area, or course that will not be for months from now.

That dresser is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteDefinite potential. I will be looking for the finished project! I have been buying paper bells lately. The crepe ones that unfold, for wedding and shower decoration. Don't know why, I just keep coming across them in my thrifting. I love a new obsession!
ReplyDeleteLove the cake topper hope you find more. I can't wait to see the finished project of the dresser. I love the lines of that piece.
ReplyDeleteLovely, unique piece. Good fortune in finding more. Love the chest, what a find that is! Look forward to seeing it redone.

Anxious to see what you do with the chest. There is a blogger who collects the cake toppers, but can't remember who it is.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice freebee chest!! I found an old cake topper at Goodwill last weekend! I too decided to start a collection!! Not that I don't have enough Collections!!LOL
ReplyDeleteHi Leslie, Thanks for your compliments. What is you shop called? You wont be disappointed when you visit the Rusty Pelican. The owner does a great job of decorating. I have taken a few classes to tole paint but mainly Ive taught myself to paint. My roses took a while to get them the way I wanted them to look.I paint also on windows or whatever I find that needs a rose,bird,or nest...I would love to visit your shop sometime..Sally
ReplyDeleteThat chest was such a great find. It has such nice lines. Can't wait to see it all prettied up. The price was right too. Glad you saved the cake topper from the trash. It is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletewonderful treasures. I'm putting together a Valentines bridal shower and a piece like that would be a treasure.
