Despite my venture into Ebay, I managed to pick up some great finds in my own backyard.  I told everyone last Sunday about the cool vintage linens I purchased for a song.  Here are some pictures that Chucklebutt took for me.

The embroidery on these pieces is precious.  I love the blue bird.

These are the tableclothes I picked up.  Mom says they remind her of Bopka’s linens in the 1950’s.  

Can there be anything better than vintage, crocheted doilies?  Check out that pink flower!

This week at work I hosted a “Butterbean Auction.”  I give my residents 40 beans to bid on each other’s junk.  We have a blast and most things are just that — junk.  This time, however, one of my residents was getting rid of a whole bunch of earrings that a deceased friend had left her.  I thought I had hit the mother load.  I offered to pay her for them but being the kind hearted woman that she is, she asked that the money be put back in the activity fund.  Win-win for everyone.  Check it out!

It’s a terrific lot of rhinestones and crystals.  I gave a pair to my boss who loves sparkly things and I think I’ll use the rest in my artwork.  I had Chuck take a few more pictures of where I store my stuff.  I completely swiped the idea from Andrea at Velvet Strawberries.  The case comes from Michael’s and it’s a great way to display your treasures.

I am hopelessly addicted to mini posies!  Aren’t those colors delicious?

This picture just makes me happy.

I hope that everyone has a nice weekend.  Summer camp starts next week, so I’ll be working with one generation in the morning and their great-grandkids in the afternoon.  I love my work and feel so fortunate!
