Vintage Hanky Dresses

I was trying to find a classier way to display some of the dainty and beautiful hankies in our shop so I saw some wonderful old cards and other ways to  show hankies and decided to work on a dress theme. So after, some designing and redesigning I finally came up with  a simple holder that shows off the simple beauty of these. Many are simple hankies with gorgeous tatted or crocheted edgings. Enjoy!

Antique sideboard buffet

Not sure what the correct name for this piece is but it's a real beauty with unique features that I wanted to share. Notice the ball and claw foot and the shelf supports shaped like a lion head.

Antique Books

A great group of titles here...only one has a date 1919.

These are a wonderful addition to our shop. Titles include Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, Oliver Twist, Notre Dame, Catherine, The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers.

Large Flowers...still

Okay...I can stop anytime I want...well, maybe, but just not right now! I'm just glad I've got some wall space at the shop! These are in my office but they are a little large for the space especially the blue one but isn't it pretty?! My mom's favorite color!

On the large blue flower I made the outer petals a little simpler than the previous large flowers. I thought there might be less drooping from the top. The center is five coffee filters scrunched together.

The other flowers are about 13" across.
