My Everyday Things (with a touch of red!)
and
So, when I headed to my local op shop on Friday ... and then again yesterday ... my eyes were blinded to any colour but white!
Here's what I found:
3 little white urns, priced from 50c to $2.00!
This one has a lovely sheen to it and an elegant shape, looks like it was a candlestick ...
this one is a lovely matte white, I love the details.
This is a sweet little rose-adorned basket ...
... but oh ...
... look what happened to it when I cleaned it!:
These urns will sit on a low white shelf in our study, above the sheet music.
Yesterday I also had to bring home this sweet vase ....
....not soooo white, but I love it.
And look, inside a beautiful soft green that goes with our walls!
This will sit I think in the white bookcase in the hall, always hard to photograph because it's the darkest part of the house.
I also found this cream Grindley plate for just $1.00! I love Grindley!
And a white cotton placemat and napkin.
I only realised just now when I unwrapped this that the napkin sits in its own pocket on the placemat.
And then ... as if all this whiteness was not enough loveliness, I received a parcel from the lovely Linda!
An absolutely gorgeous and huge white cotton and lace tablecloth!
I love everything about this cloth!
... but then, what's not to love about white cotton?

and White Wednesday (a day late!)
What great finds and I gasped when I saw the picture of the broken little basket. But she will still look pretty with a bit of glue. Lovely new tablecloth to you too.
ReplyDeleteI love all your white goodies...and so sorry about the little basket, I can not tell you how many times I get something all the way home just fine, then go to clean it and break it.....makes me sick when that happens. Have a great VTT!
ReplyDeletel love all of your finds, everything is so pretty. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou have some very nice white things. I especially like the linens. They are my favorite and have worlds of them.
ReplyDeleteI've broken the handles off a few thing's I've brought home when I washed them also! I always justify it that there was in interior crack! How lovely, I'm going to have to go to the thrift store today!
ReplyDeleteI too have fallen in love with all the white I see in all the beautiful blogs I read. Your finds today are just amazing- that placemat/napkin set is so lovely! Thanks for sharing today!
