I am trying very hard not to bring home too many treasures these days so I only have three to share today. The first is a pretty cup and saucer. It has the words "Phoenix bone china, made in England" written on the bottom.
The other two things I bought are on either end of this drop-leaf table in the sunroom. The wooden box on the left has a divider in the middle. I wonder what it was meant for. The tin thing on the right has that extra piece sewn on with fine wire. I really like it. The cast iron basket in the middle has some nuts and a pine cone that I still had from last year. I wish I'd have kept the shiny brown Horse Chestnuts but I thought I would gather more this year so why keep them. Seems this is a bad year for Chestnuts because the tree that I looked at had none. Maybe it was too dry??
A few Fallish photos complete my "vignette". That's all the decorating I'm doing just yet.
Our stretch of very hot days seem to have ended and I'm relieved. I'm looking forward to a week of cool temperatures and renewed energy!
Thanks for dropping by,
Granny Marigold
We just gave some tomatoes away today. We can't keep up either.
ReplyDeleteNice looking tomatoes! It was not a good year for tomatoes around here. Looks like Fall at your place already:)
ReplyDeleteI have become a little more discerning about the treasures I bring home too. I'm running out of room! I like you fall treasures.
ReplyDeleteOh, those pesky tomatoes--first you have to WAIT AND WAIT for them and then they do the overload. Hope you're putting them to good use. BLT's, fresh tomato salad, oh, the list goes on and on.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! They sure look beautiful
Your tomatoes are gorgeous! Perfection!
ReplyDeleteYou have the loveliest homey home every, GM. I like the way you continue to nest. I think we should nest every day and forever.
You always make me want to go to the thrift store in search of tea cups.
The tomatoes are so pretty. Our tomatoes were the worst ever. We enjoyed eating only two. I love your fall decorations. You keep such a clean, neat home. And, a late Happy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteLovely tomatoes! They look fresh and healthy. Home tomatoes are good than shop buying.
ReplyDeleteYour tomatoes look so good! Like the basket and pail too. Nancy
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful and perfect tomatoes!
ReplyDeleteLove your fall decor!
