White vintage...........

I am hooking up for White Wednesday, a bit late but I think I am in under the bar. Faded Charm Cottage
I am selecting a few things I had taken pictures of to do a blog so here are a few of them now.
I have 4 poodles girls so it follows I suppose that I should collect poodles. I have stuffies but have been collecting these vintage poodles as well


I did a post on Vintage pillow cases, I love them all they are so soft. I especially love white with lace or tatting, or anything hand done on them. They make the beds look so inviting



SInce having my two year old great grandson living with us I have been watching a lot of "Shaun the Sheep" and "Timmy Time" well that led to the beginning of my love affair with sheeps. (yes I know its really sheep)


Yes this poodle is pink but well she wanted to come along too.


This little ballarina was a gift from my Granddaughter Danielle last Christmas. The glass pieces I have collected over the years from garage sales and I have quite a few of those. I seem to always find something new to collect. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.


For a long time I collected hats, some were really beautiful and this is one of my favourites
That and purses, vintage of course

Pillow Cases...................

I have for a long time collected old (vintage) pillow cases. They are so soft for one thing. Nothing like what you get today. I like to starch them so they look crisp and cool but they are still so soft. The old linens have worn to perfection.



I have some really nice ones and some OK ones but all of them were done with love by someone. I also love those edged with lace. I prefer those to actually use.


Here are a couple more of the embroidered ones. I think I have a few others on my side bar.

Vintage Jewelry........

Another fun thing to collect when the price is right is vintage jewelry. The things I have found have come in handy from time to time. My Granddaughters have worn some of the necklaces on different occasions, usually proms. The pins I used to wear on jackets when I was working. I need to clean it all and take better pictures but for now I will show some of what I have.



It will be nice when its all cleaned up. I have not yet gone through to see if I have anything that has names on. I know that sometimes these old things can have some value.
I love these two pins.



These are mainly necklaces..........again I need to take better pictures but you can sort of see that there are some quite nice ones among them.




This red rose necklace I remember my dad buying it for my mum. She wore it to a dinner dance. Mum was never happy with what he bought her but he at least made an effort. Looking back she had little to complain about. Dad would often bring her gifts and sometimes flowers. I have never been that fortunate. The only things I get I buy myself. Mum bought enough things herself too but at least my dad thought enough to try to please. He bought me a necklace too on the same day. I don't now know if there was an occasion but I do know he thought of me and bought me a grown up necklace. I recently gave it to my granddaughter. I still have mums red rose necklace.
The one under it was my grandmothers. I keep things I guess...............
