Congratulations!

WOW! A hundred White Wednesday posts, quite a milestone in blogland. White Wednesday happenedto be my favorite blog party and the only one I try to keep up and never forget. Most of my favorite blogs on my blog list I came across because of WW. When I'm running on empty inspiration wise I  get online an open Faded Charm blog and go thru the links. I still buy magazines, hardly ever because there is more beauty to find thru the blogs. So needless to say I'm so thankful to Ms.Kathleen for taking the time to create, establish, follow thru and put together the most amazing place to get inspired in blogland. Happy 100 and a 100 more to come...best wishes and blessings to you all, Marta.

I thought I will go a put together a group of my favorite pictures from my WW archives. Hope you enjoy!

  I just realized I have this draft saved and never post it. This was the Lampasas city wide yard sale. It was held 3 weeks ago and buying wise was fabulous thanks to the lady below. I went back to her about five times and every time bought a box full of pretties. She was unpacking and I was grabbing. I was curious because the kind of merchandise she got as if she was a dealer going out of business. She told me "just a hoarder/collector getting rid of stuff so I can go and buy some more. Lucky me!

The sale is held in the square Downtown and it is such a pretty city. They have beautiful b&bs and tea rooms. They also have a couple of good antique malls. I remember the days when it seems every old square in little towns will be filled with antique shops. I'm thinking that if the economy keeps going the way it is many of this little towns will just disappeared. So sad...

                                         On to something more positive, my finds.

Can you believe this little matches? Gold tips! I can really said victorians were really eccentric folks.

I have been looking for a figurine with a bishon. I have seen new ones but I wanted an older one, I finally found it.

                       My baby stuff collection. I have a lot at the shop too just to share with kindred spirits.

That is all folks! I found out I was not the only one unable to use blogger for a couple of days which got me thinking that I better save all my pictures to a folder in my computer, I don't think this people are to be trusted with safe keeping them. My blog have been doing all kind of weird things lately so out of paranoia I'm taking precautions. Be blessed, Marta.

Today I'm loving...

My new bedding. All white, crisp white. It took me a couple of hours to iron the shams and comforter. I like the no wrinkle look, call me stuffy. I also like a very fitted fit on my slipcovered pieces. I know...but you got to go with what you like most. Now the count starts: How long do the white linen will stay white? Don't know,  husband+ puppy dog= trouble in Whiteland.

Ok, linen people of the world, please don't kill me!. I cut up this beautiful tablecloth. 32 panes of beautiful embroidery and tatting yumminess so I can make little curtains.

First try, straight, me no liked it as much.

Gathered at the top, me like it better, no total bliss, just ok.

That brown pillow,  it got 9 beautiful roses. I love a bed full of pillows and I need some more.

             Just cute, on top a shelf, again like, no bliss.

On another note, today I undressed Peter in order to clothed Paul. Ok, meaning; I needed stuff for my window Downtown. I went shopping in my store.The things actually look much better in the window.

 So sorry about the glare. Photographers of blogland, how do you take care of the glare when you shoot a window?

It is so cute in there now. Love the oars and the aqua glass jar.

Not possible to get a good shot from the inside because of the position of the pieces. I could not believe all the stuff I got in there with even more coming for trade days weekend. Call me a busy body, I'm off to do more...I'm linking to Faded Charm for White Wednesday. Blessings, Marta.
