one year ago...

eflea

I took this photo one year ago today.  The kids and I were on a road trip from Atlanta to Pittsburgh to see my parents, and we were taking our time-stopping at every roadside farmer's and flea market we could find.  This was a farmer's market in West Virginia, early morning.  Elizabeth was wearing a skirt she purchased in Guatemala, and holding a bag of just picked peaches.  Just a simple, quiet moment...but a happy memory.

Funny how it can seem just like yesterday, and like it was a million years ago, both at the same time. 

What were you doing one year ago today?

Today I start my photo a day for the month of July...just a little close up of things around the house. Things that I can't really write a whole blog post about, but that have beauty to me none the less.  Hope you enjoy.

blog giveaway {x4}...

purse1

Hello friends!  As I mentioned last week, I just wrote my 400th post, and had my 2 year blog anniversary...so it's time for a giveaway! 

When I was trying to think of what to giveaway, I just thought of all the things that I collect and love, and put together some things that I hope you will like too.  I also wanted to make 4 somewhat identical things, so that there could be 4 winners.  While searching for the perfect "container" to fill with vintage items, I thought of one of my collections...vintage white wicker purses.  The purses are fun and summery, and I actually use them on occasion!  I chose 4 purses from my collection, and made tags with vintage ledger paper, ribbon and a millinery flower (I destroyed a hat for this!)...purse2

Inside each purse I put a vintage hankie, an old postcard, a card of rick rack, and lots of other vintage finds...purse3

Of course they're all different because they are vintage items I have collected over the years.  I also put together paper packs to go with this, that contain vintage wallpaper and sheet music, French and Latin pages, a book of green stamps, game cards and more... ( I will take a picture later today).

So if this sounds like something you would like to win, leave me a comment here and I will draw 4 names on Friday.

Good Luck, and thanks as always for stopping by!
