Two-fold post here friends.....first I saw these "china purses" on an online store. This beautiful pic brought back a sweet memory. I had one of these banks. It was my "dime purse". It had small purple violets on it edged in gold likes these banks shown. Second part to this blog post....just learned how to edge this pic by a free tutorial from: karenvalentinedesignstudio@gmail.com It was exciting :)

Came across some items labeled "Antiques"....ok I grew up with these items. What does this say about me? LOL

Dirve in speakers.

                                       
                                             Great and very fast sleds.

                                           Well.....my early childhood 1960's living-room phone.

Just amazing! Saw this guy on craigslist, and he is also on ebay for bidding. What a unique piece of history treasure!! From the south, in a family for over 100 years. He is just beautiful!! Had to tribute a post to him.

One of my favorite things.....the vintage vaniety, Shabby Chic of course! These are sold all over New England, in special Cottage Chic Shoppes.

 

A simple change to a modest bathroom. This redesign was done by a professional stager for homes soon to be on the market. What a difference a redesign can do!! Why wait till you sell to enjoy the benefits of a "new change"

But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perserverance. Romans 8:25 A verse to ponder......

Merry Christmas to All!
