Old fashioned feminine charm....vintage style decor and crafts....traditional family values....christian faith and lifestyle. "..whatsoever things are lovely.." Phil. 4:8
I believe a christian home should be a haven from the noise and clamour of the busy bustling world outside. A place to find respite, peace and comfort..a balm to the mind and soul of the family living under its roof. A happy little world of its own where wonderful memories are made that carry one through life with thanksgiving and a nostalgic wish to return HOME!

Friday

Visit to Sue's

( a guest post from my sister Barb )

Hubby and I went to our daughter's place today to spend some time with the grandkids before they go back to school next week. They have all had a good holiday.
While we were there I took a few photos of some of her odds and ends......


Antique cane high chair

Detail of back

Detail of frame and footrest


 a box with recipes and .......

 
a fish, a bone and  a cat shaped cookie cutters...
I love the humor and the old fashioned presentation
                                                                                          

a pretty green patterned coffee set on a brown and white platter



an unusual shaped wooden case...


This doll was a council clean-up find......and it has
a secret.... 



She has no legs
She has an umbrella....instead
                                                                                                    

Looks like a large food cover



how beautiful she is!!
 
 I like the unusual things my daughter collects and I hope you enjoyed seeing these few pieces


God Bless

Hi Trish,
I like the colours and header picture for the blog...Really nice!!
Sue's box was empty when she got it, no compartments. She now stores all their manicure supplies in it....not worth taking a photo.

Hi Barb, Your daughter, Sue, indeed has some pretty vintage treasures. I especially like the doll, since I collect them. I have one that is similar, but it is a lamp. Thank you for sharing.

Hi Barb! What a wonderful doll - such a perfect idea and yet I've never seen one like it! Great collections with a story for each, I'm sure! Joy to you!
