Tuesday Treasures

Last Saturday, I went to another doll show. This will be the last one until summer. I found a few treasures for sure and a couple ladies I know want me to join their UFDC doll club. I'm a bit nervous about that. I guess I will have to attend 3 meetings and see how it all runs before being accepted. Hummmm. They meet once a month.

I didn't find any vintage dolls that I fell in love with this time, but I did find this most wonderful Mary Engelbreit Madame Alexander doll called Cherry Girl. She looks a bit sad...I hope she becomes more happy once she is living in my craft cottage with all the ME things. she is a cutie.

My photo of my goodies didn't take too well...the sun in the afternoon in my craft cottage makes for tricky photography.

I found some more little tin dishes that I like! I will sell these. The one set is Mary Had A Little Lamb. Love the red colors.

I have sold some of this pattern before with the little kitten. I think it's a favorite with collectors.

This single cup is probably a keeper. It's not in great condition, but it is fro Pinocchio.I have never seen it before.

These sweet little antique doll cards were only 25 cents each! Had to have these for my dolly friends.

Two sweet little pink luster plates for my dolly's pink luster tea sets. You always need extra plates for tea time.

I couldn't resist these fun heels from the 50's. They are in great condition.

This is my favorite find. I'm going to use it by my red chair in my cottage as a little end table. It's child size, so just the perfect and fun fit.

Tuesday Treasures

I managed to delete this post from Tuesday this evening, so I will try to recreate it. It's just been one of those days...ugh. I have lost all my comments on this one now too. Well...that's the way it goes. I just love all the items, so will just put the post back up the best I can.

We had a fun time shopping this past weekend!  I love it when we get a couple of good estate sales! You can see it's a good grouping of GOODIES for my Etsy shoppe.

I have been selling older patterns lately and these are just charming. I especially like the little bonnet pattern.

The estate sale ladies were going crazy over this sweet child's apron...lovingly crocheted by someone.
It is really darling.

Who could resist this handmade wonderful stuffed elephant? He is really so well made and just fun. I love homemade toys from the past. I forgot to take a photo of the little plastic silverware set in the box. It is really neat.

This is one of the hand stitched butterfly blocks on a row from a quilt. It was never finished and this was all that was at the sale when we got there. I had to rescue it. It could be taken apart and repurposed.

 I fell for this sweet little teapot. It has a not on the bottom stating that it was a gift from an aunt at Christmas long ago. So sweet. You can see a set of hand embroidered tea towels and a great pansy towel. The teapot is resting on a cute vintage bunny piece. It is open on one end so I think it may have been a bassinet cover for a baby. It's such a darling vintage print.

I also picked up two church lady aprons that I love made of fantastic vintage fabric. I've been on the hunt for these.

And now for my favorite find of the weekend. These are Lefton Miss Dainty wall planters. They are in mint condition and aren't they just the cutest?! I wish I decorated with this style as I would really keep them for myself. I love them.

So, I think I covered everything. I have never deleted a post before. I am not happy with myself. 

Tuesday Treasures

I missed a few days of blogging as I woke up with an earache and then it went into a cold. I did get to go to an estate sale before I got sick and found some delightful goodies to share for this Tuesday Treasures! This was my kind of sale, filled with sweet treasures.

It will be hard to part with this charming and delicate teacup. Royal Albert is always a treasure to find! Don't you love the tiny pink roses mixed with soft blue forget me nots?

I am always charmed by little children's pieces of china. This is a very small pitcher. I like to think maybe it was used for milk. It's a keeper for me!

A sweet handmade needle keep in just the perfect colors for spring.

And then, I feel in love with these little dolls. I do believe they are dressed for spring too with bonnets and pretty little frocks.

This one is the milk made and her little friend is the farm girl. One will be a gift to a friend.

This little miss is named Erin and I think she is my favorite. She arrived just in time for St Patrick's Day.

They are just so sweet standing together.

I was so excited to find this set of paper dolls. Oh, I do love paper dolls! This set is still sealed and is a Madame Alexander issue.

Tuesday Treasures and the Expo Show

This past weekend was taken up with Jim's Expo Antique and Collectible show. I usually don't find too many treasures but I sure did this time! The little bird in the cage is a music box. Someday, I hope to find one like Tasha Tudor owned but this was just sweet and didn't cost too much.

The pink lusterware teapot was a find and a bargain. As I shared before, the one from Vermont arrived broken last summer and the the one from Concord MA won't hold water, so I have been hoping to find one to use with all the lovely teacups I do have!  I couldn't resist this one for $26!

When I decorate for Easter in my tea room, I like to add my Peter Rabbit items. I have been adding to my collection of the Beatrix Potter figures that go with her little book. I love Mrs Tiggy Winkle and I found her at the show.

Another sweet addition...Hunca Munca.

One of the vendors at the show often has Tasha Tudor books. He knows I'm a collector, so he usually brings something I can't seem to resist. I had this little "Tasha Tudor's Treasure" but this copy has
sweet little illustrations drawn by Tasha to the owner of the book. I love to find these and up grade my books.  Each book as a very charming little drawing.

Here we are on Friday after we got all set up for the show. Let the fun begin! We had a great show. We have some wonderful customers who really support us and make the hard work all worth while.
I'm showing some photos as I like to document Jimmy's shows. Enjoy.

Tuesday Treasures

Last week I shared some fun items and mentioned that I would share some more of the goods from that sale this week! I adore this soft baby blanket. It is in good condition and It is just adorable.
It's just past midnight...early Tuesday morning. I spend ALL day cleaning house, taking down Valentines and putting up Easter. I just finished, if I can stay awake, I'd rather just stay up and get it all done. I'm pooped! I feel bad, as I'm not going to get to put up my St Pat's things this year. Easter is just too early.

Sometime, thing just end up going together. I think this batch of goodies looks so cute together!

Fun little plastic babes, a baby rattles and dolly strollers made for an exciting find.

I love stork items and was excited to find two from the same vendor. They do need a bit of washing, but they are pretty cute and they still have their baby bundles.

Plastic dollhouse furniture from my childhood...brings back memories. I have lots of new things to sell.

I'm linking up with Bernideen's Blog Party...it's so fun to see what everyone is up to! Have a great week blogger friends.
