It's The Little Things~

 

Be still my heart!

 

This pretty little dish caught my eye right away.

 C.F. Monroe decorated Opal Ware in a variety of forms.

This is one of my favorites!

This 19th Century hand painted Wavecrest dresser jar / pin box is decorated with a

  a sweet peach floral design with raised enamel accents.

 Oh my, you can feel the little accents.

 It also has a very delicate translucent green tint in the opal glass

 on the blown out shell design portion.

 

Love it!

 

Aww...it's the little things~

Isn't it?

Tablescape Time~

There's something about tablescapes...

I love everything about them!

I think it is because I love to entertain~

From the minute I begin to plan...the fun begins, 

then I'm in a rare crazy mode!

This tablescape made it's debut at a wonderful ladies brunch~
What a fun time filled with so much laughter! 
That happens when you get friends together!
Oh yes, indeed!
 

So, do you enjoy entertaining and laughing with friends? 
And just get crazy?

Take A Peek - My Newest Treasure~

 This little showstopper was in my hand and purchased as soon as I could get to the register! 

I fell in love with it's simple and elegant design.  

My new little treasure is a Bridal Basket, I believe it to be Circa 1890-1900 

I've read that before the emergence of the bridal bouquet, brides and flower girls in the Victorian era carried wedding baskets down the aisle.  

Can't you just picture delicate little white roses placed in the middle of this sweet basket?

(Oh my goodness, I just get too excited about little finds, like this one!)

What caught my eye was the intricate raised embossed roses all along the rim.  Isn't it beautiful? Look closely at how deep the rose scroll work detail there is surrounding the entire rim of the basket, its amazing!  I'm crazy about the open ridge design along the bottom edge, it is just beautiful!

 Hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my newest treasure!
