vintage treasures











I was shooting my new items for my Etsy shop this afternoon and decided to shoot a few things around our home that I have collected over the years.






I love vintage anything, and silver is no exception.







I am blessed with some really fabulous friends who know me so well. Yesterday a sweet parcel arrived in the mail. When I saw the return address I was instantly excited as Simone is one of my dearest friends and whatever she had sent was surely to be marvelous. Would you believe that she sent me these three treasures?!?








I found this bag while on a girls day in southern Washington and Oregon about a month ago. As I was with a girlfriend, it seemed serendipitous!





And of course, with the addition of miss mabel to our family, anything in the vintage camping family is welcome to join us!




What are your favorite vintage pieces in your home?

I love it all. The silverware plant markers are great, my farm girl friends want to do that as project. I would have to say my primitive cupboards are one of my most treasured finds from the past. It is so fun to see what others enjoy.

Just had to chuckle .... today I was going to sort through the vintage silverplate to reduce the size of my flatware stash. Impossible! Love your sweet pieces, and noticed the Ruth Fielding book ... do you collect them? Alas ... I have too many to ignore as a whim, but not enough to have them all!
Not sure if I have a constant favorite ... as I love all my vintage finds (including all 80 some silverplate spreaders!!)
Have a fantastic "first week of the New Year"!

Beautiful images, Kimberly! My favorite vintage item in my home is a little silver creamer that I bought in an antique store many years ago, along with some baby spoons that were mine and my mothers and my children's great great grandmother's white gold wedding band. (my daughter wears it now...)Happy New Year! xxoo

Two vintage hurricane lamps that were my grandmothers. Other than that, nothing. But it's fun keeping my eyes open for interesting things!

Beautiful pieces and beautiful photos.

I have so many vintage treasures that I love, can't choose just one. It's so good to surround us with the prettiest vintage things, it really makes a house your very own home!

Happy New Year, let it sparkle!

I have just started a collection of silver, do you have an tips how to spot a good find?

I have so many favorites Kim that I find it hard to narrow it down. I will always love my plates from the farm ~ thinking that something we used to eat off around the old table is hanging on my wall and are some of my most cherished possessions.
