A Few Of My Favorite Things

Hi All. I hope your having a great week. I took some photos of a few of my favorite things, hope you enjoy!



Dress forms, and ironstone and vintage purple bottles...


vintage French linens, and chippy farm tables...


vintage French baskets all filled with treasures....


These are a few of my favorite things!
{sung to the tune of "My Favorite Things"}





As you can tell, I was a little bored today, so I took out all my goodies to photograph. After tomorrow, I'm pretty sure I won't be bored, it's my son's last day of school! :)
Have a great day.
Sincerely,
Melinda

  3. Just glorious Melinda! It all looks like a chic French Farmhouse store display. I love everything you've shown. Oh, how I wish for a dress form like yours for our bedroom, but I think the mister would never go for it. :)

  5. I think that flowers just add to everything. My roses in my garden, since I've finally given them attention are going crazy. Actually I'm getting ready to go water and maybe cut some more and bring them inside. Loved all the pixs!!

    Take care, Sue
