Trash to Treasure

Boy, you should have seen her when I found her. She had leaves and debris all entangled in her fringe, numerous spots and just overall dirty. Most folks would have just passed her by, but not me, I saw a diamond in the rough. Brought her home and gave her a good bath followed by a spin in the washer and a tumble in the dryer. Once on the bed, I finger-combed and trimmed her fringe and take a look at ner now. Too bad I did not get a before picture of this vintage Trapunto style snowy white cotton spread. She has found her spot on my bed and I am loving it! I also want to share a few more of my favorite finds of the week...

Southern Belle Lamp

Imagine my delight when I turned the corner and there she sat, looking so pleasantly at me! I fell in love instantly! Can you tell? From the top of her tulle crown shade to the bottom of her white tiered ruffled skirt. She is 100% Southern Belle - even wearing gloves with one hand over her heart as if to say "Oh My!". How sweet and adorable she is! Well, I paid too much for her, hence the price, but there was no decision to be made, it just happened - really fast. No buyer's remorse here. She can just sit at the cottage until someone else falls in love with her and I ship her away. Thanks for stopping by and hope y'all have a great weekend!!
