I found this little treasure the other day at one of my favorite little shops. I wanted to show you how petite it is so I photographed it next to the ‘wrought iron thingy.’ The tag on it said it was used as a spice rack. I just love it – the flower in a deco-like design, its colors of blue and cream and the curvy sides. I’m thinking I might use it in the studio area to hold sewing notions or treasures from my blogging friends. All I know is the minute I spied it in a booth – hidden away on the floor – it was mine.
My friend Donna, from Brynwood Needleworks, surprised me the other day with this lovely Valentine/ATC that she created. She is so talented! It reminds me of something handmade during the Victorian era – sweet, heartfelt and beautiful. Donna, by the way, is having a giveaway for her 300th post, so you just might want to stop by.
It is a very windy Friday here – very windy. Scout and I have to take a quick trip to the Veterinarian’s office and I have errands to run – such as trying to track down a copy of the new Flea Market Style magazine. Let’s hope my local stores have it on the shelf!
Happy Friday!
Edited to add: I found the magazine today at Barnes and Noble – It looks fabulous. I can’t wait to sit down and look through it!
oh that little shelf is just precious!!! don’t you just love it when you find a perfect gem in a unexpected spot?
Oh, it IS adorable! I just love those deco graphics. I know you’ll dress it up just right.
Usually when something calls to me like that it’s, like, double the price I was willing to pay. Drat.
Enjoy!
Hi Claudia.. I used to have a little shelf just like that. I don’t even know if I still have it packed in boxes or not since the move!.. Good luck finding that magazine. I hope you do! One blogger is offering it as a giveaway, so I’m entered and crossing my fingers for it! ~tina
Looks darling and very close to your favorite color, sweets!

Hello Claudia,
The tiny shelf is precious. :0) I do think these treasures stay kind of hidden out of the way til the right person appears that should own it. :0)
I think it would be adorable to place sewing notions on.
I read at another blog that they found the new magazine in Walmart..I have a Books a Million not far from home so I’ll look there first.
I have my PiNk Saturday post up. Please come over for a visit when you have a moment.
♥ Love & Faerie Dust ♥

Oh Claudia Sweetie…
I so love this little shelf that you found, and actually it is already the colors that you love. How beautiful it is. I love it.
I adore your wonderful treats that you received from your sweet friend, Donna. I too have entered her contest. What a wonderful artist she is. Love her blog home.
I am sorry to hear Scout is having to take a trip to the vet. I pray it is not serious. Keep us posted.
Country hugs sweetie and so much love…Sherry

I saw the magazine and it IS fabulous! Your little shelf is adorable, I think is would look perfect in your craft area. Sweet Valentine too. Hope your weekend is wonderful and the wind dies down!
I also found a ‘spice rack’ some time ago, which was too cute to hold spices ;)) I will share its photo on my blog, so you can see it… :)
Lovely ATC too, and I bet the magazine is fabulous!
