TULIPS

Happy Wednesday!  I am joining Sue over at
It's A Very Cherry World  for Rednesday!  Please check out all the wonderful reds!

 

I love tulips!  

 

Red tulips for Valentine's Week!

 

They make me happy!

 

As does vintage rickrack!  I found these two spools at the thrift for pennies!  They are fragile as the fabric has deteriorated a bit,  but I think they look cool!

 Thanks for stopping by and I hope you go check out the other REDS Here .

Always,

Linda

THANK YOU'S, VALENTINE'S DAY & TRUE LOVE

I have had the best luck lately and have won some amazing giveaways!  They have arrived and I wanted to say a BIG Thank You and show them off!

 

From Wendy at the the lazy peacock , I won this wonderful tomato server! 

It came in the mail this week and it is even prettier then the photos!

 

Thanks Wendy for having this lovely give away!

 

Then Shara over at monkeybox  had a giveaway of some really neat vintage valentines!  I guessed wrong on her 'what is this' question (I guessed a bong and it was a whistle...close right?) but I got the lucky 2nd chance win!

 

These came in the mail yesterday (no snow stops my mailman!) and I love them.  Thanks Shara for such a cute giveaway! 

Speaking of sweet!  My Honey Honey gave me these lovely roses and wonderful candy for Valentine's Day!  He is such a sweet guy.

 

These are Italian Hazelnut chocolates and they come with a love saying in each and everyone, not just for Valentine's.  

 

Beautiful roses, awww !

And now...the truest Love I know of is my #2 daughter and her hubby.  They married right before Christmas 3 years ago and I believe they are still on a Honeymoon!  They are best friends and more in love everyday! 

 

 Happy Valentine's Day to you and all your loved one's!

Always,

Linda

IT'S A RED & PINK VALENTINE'S PARTY

You are invited to join BARGAIN HUNTING WITH LAURIE   for a Valentine Party!  So show us your favorite holiday finds, flowers, candy or anything that makes you say VALENTINE BE MINE!  I'm also linking up with Pink Saturday with Beverly at How Sweet The Sound

 I don't have a lot of decorations for Valentine's Day...I did find a few things at the thrift store that I wanted to share with you.

 

I love to combine Red & Pink 

 

I know this cup has more of a Christmas decoration on it, but the colors are perfect for Valentine's also

 

I found this funny vase and since I love Maxine it came home with me...love candy!

This apron and two cups were posted before but since they have such sweet hearts on them...here they are again

 

This red mosaic bowl will shine with a candle in it

A sweet vintage valentine 

 

The most important heart is this wooden one made for me many years ago by my Dad

 

So check your mailbox like this little girl and see if YOUR sweetie sent you something

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

ALWAYS,

LINDA 

 

D IS FOR DEPRESSION GLASS

I am joining Jenny for Alphabe-Thursday   

& 

Suzanne at Colorado Lady for

Vintage Thingie Thursday

Today is the Letter D for Depression Glass

 

I am by no means any kind of an expert on Depression Glass but I do love it and have collected a few pieces.  My first love was the cobalt blue and I found this piece on ebay

 

This is a candy dish in the Mt. Pleasant or "Double Shield" pattern

Made by L.E. Smith Glass Co 1920's -1934 

This plate is also in the same pattern  along with this creamer

 

This piece has a silver band but has faded with time

 

The pattern of the above creamer & sugar is called MODERNTONE made by Hazel-Atlas Glass Co 1934-1942 & late 1940's - early 1950's.  This pattern seems to have some of the most reasonable prices maybe due to it's simple style.

 

These pink & one green pieces are random thrift store finds

I believe they are all depression glass and not reproductions, but I am not sure.  Like I said NOT an expert or even all that knowledgeable.

  

 I love the edge of this compote

 

A couple of glasses with different patterns

 

One piece of green again found in a thrift shop

I have not had the time to research all the patterns of the pink and green glass but when I do I will use this book.  I got mine from Amazon.com and there is a newer addition now.  I have found this to be an amazing resource.  There are so many patterns and colors to learn about.

So be sure to jump over and check out all the other posts for Alphabe-Thursday and Vintage Thingy Thursday!

Always,

Linda
