Firstly I would like to say a HUGE thank you to all of the ladies that have made suggestions to name my quilt. I love so many of them. Hubby tells me that he will make the selection as it is just going to be way too difficult for me.
The last few weeks have been fabulous for Flea Market Finds. Look at this gorgeous table that I found. Already shabbied up and perfect for a blank space in our dining room. And look at the lamp - Isn't it goreous?
The glass baubles on the stem are a little hard to photograph but they are pink glass. I just added the shade and now I have an adorable lamp. I paid just $20 for this lamp - What a bargain.
I am so in love with this table - Cost was just $50 and they delivered it free.
Yesterday we went to the markets again hunting for a bargain. I found this vintage crystal cookie jar. It is beautifully tarnished showing it's age.
There is just something about crystal sparkling in the sunlight. Cost was just $8.
And this lovely little French (Yes made in France) Perfume Bottle - I couldn't leave it there for only $2
The gumtree girls are a close bunch. We often have little swaps between ourselves and decided to have an apron swap recently. Vikki made this delightful apron for me. I just adore it. It is so very me.
She has hand painted these gorgeous roses onto it - It will have to be kept for very best and can never get dirty - It is way too pretty for domestic duties. Thanks so much Vikki XXXX
And lastly I got up this morning to the most wonderful news. I had won the 500 follower give away over at Raspberry Rabbits. I am awe struck by this quilt and Shell's generosity in giving it away. I will treasure it forever Shell.
On the 12th January Shell is releasing her first block in her "12 of Hearts Free BOM" - Make sure you hop over there and take a look - She is a very talented gal.
Have a great week friends,
Love and Hugs,
FEE XX

Well done! It was certainly your day to find treasures. One of my favorite antique finds are fine china platters. I have collected about a dozen of them and use them every day to serve dinner and desserts on.
