For My Pretty Pink Bathroom

It isn't often that I find something for my pretty pink bathroom.

But I found her, and she looked like she would be happy to hold something for me in her sweet little basket.

I'm not sure what yet.  Q-tips would be the obvious choice.  But they are tempting to the little boys and I don't want them falling into the pretty pink toilet if they were to climb up to get some.

So most likely I shall fill her basket with lavender.

She has an honest face.  I think I can trust her.

Free As Ceramic Birds in a Wooden Cage

For some time now I've had my eye out for a smaller bird cage.  I saw this one a few weeks back and wished it were mine.  Last weekend I had a wee bit of cash to spend on me, and since I've been trying to spring it up in here I bought it.  It now sits on my piano.  Wouldn't it be nice if I took a picture of what the top of the piano looks like now?  Yes.  That would be nice.  But the top of the piano is also where I put everything I don't want little people to mess with.  So it's a mess up there.  But soon, soon I'll get a better picture.  I sort of promise.

Thrifted Robins

Since I haven't seen a real Robin yet this year, I dug into my stash of bird pictures.  I need to be reminded that Spring IS coming.  
Hopefully, I'm back to updating this blog on a more regular basis.  One CAN always hope.

Blue Dutch Scene

This cute little container was at a local thrift store.  Since I cannot resist a Dutch scene I was drawn to it.  Even more so when I opened the lid to find it had been used as a little sewing box.  I shall also use it as a little sewing box.  Because I can never find one when I need it.


Blue Tea Pot

I've been looking for a blue tea pot for quite some time now.  I was happy to find one yesterday.  The perfect shade of blue, and marked Lipton Tea on the bottom.  And I don't even like tea.

Baby Bottle Addition

Several pictures later, this is the best I could do getting a close-up of the newest addition to my baby bottle collection.  Now I only look for those that have something cute embossed on the glass.  This one is a baby with a bottle.  It also says "Happy Baby".  I think what I like best are the cute little toes.

Flea Market Finds

At the Allegan County Antiques Flea Market last weekend I found a twin for my 'big doll'.  THGGM found the wooden bench.  The seat lifts up for storage.  I'm thinking maybe for doll clothes?  I found the new doll's outfit and shoes for 50% off at my local thrift store today.

I have a few articles of vintage baby clothes for the dolls, but it's more enjoyable to see them being played with by the grand kids.  And have you ever noticed how many 3 month size outfits are hanging around thrift stores?  Oh, my.  These are going to be some well-dressed dolls!
