The Good Old Days..

 Hello and thank you for dropping in today. I love getting your comments and advise. 
Today I am sharing with all of you some of my Family pieces as well as some treasures I have collected over the years. Above is a Basin that belonged to my Grandmother..the jug was purchased to complete a set. 
 This wonderful heavy cotton vintage night gown is so beautiful. I found it at a local Antique store and the condition of the fabric is excellent!   


 My chamber pot is also a Family piece and I am so glad we no longer have to use these! As a child visiting my Grandmother's farm house we had to use these as there was no indoor plumbing. 
 The razor and brush were my Father In Law's and I think of him every time  I walk past and see them.

 My hair keeper and nail buffer also belonged to my Grandmother as well as the Ivory handled nail and button tools.
 I purchase these other items over the years at various shops and on Ebay.

I hope you enjoyed your visit! Stop in again.. Take care!


Hugs,
Wanda

  2. Oh Wanda, what lovely treasures you have. I love a nice beautiful hand held mirror. I was always fond of these and just never seemed to buy any. I have my Old Country Rose set my mom bought me. Of course they are not vintage but pretty as can be. I love yours..you are so lucky..
    Have a wonderful Sunday evening,

That's one of the things I LOVe about vintage clothing...function meets beauty :) :) Have a lovely week. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

  12. Hi Wanda,
    I did enjoy my visit-your treasures are always lovely. I love the nightgown -I have a similar one in cotton.
    I did get a couple of emails from you and after I opened the first one I didn't open the second because i was pretty sure it was spam but just in case their was a virus attached.

    Take care,
    Carolyn
