Our Chocolate Set



Welcome 
Today I am sharing our Chocolate Set that my Sweetie gifted me a few Christmas's ago. It is marked Made in France.I hope you enjoy my photos.

















We haven't used it yet but someday I look forward to enjoying some hot chocolate.
I think I have been afraid to use it as it is so delicate...








Thank you for stopping in today! 
Blessings,

Wanda

Pink Tea Cups....


Welcome and thank you for stopping in today.
My Sweetie and I took a road trip this week to a small town nearby and we found these two sweet soft pink tea cups.... don't you just love them?
















Some more pieces of Vintage Linen in my collection.










I thought the tea cup above was going to be my favourite but now that I have them home I love them both equally. 





















Below I have added them to my stand so I can see them everyday whether I am using them or not. 
Have a fantastic weekend & I hope you are surrounded by things that you love too...
Hugs,

Wanda

Linen Love....


Welcome Dear blogging friends,
This weekend I spent a day selling some of my Vintage Linen collection at a local sale. While I am still loving my collection I realize once again I have too many pieces and feel it is a shame to keep them boxed up while someone else could be enjoying their beauty. I hope you enjoy a few snaps of some of my favourites.



















While at the sale I came across the collar below and had to have it! I have never seen once of this style. If any of you have an idea of the style or its possible age please let me know.  





Isn't it darling....
















The nightgown below is so pretty and the cotton is so crisp and white.

















Thank you for stopping in today I really appreciate our comments! Have a great week ahead.
Hugs,

Wanda

Family


Hello & welcome
Today I am going through some old Family photographs trying to identify the subjects. This selection of photos are from my Mother's family and most are simply marked Arthur Family. 




I know the shot below is of my Great Grandparents.






























This photo is marked Arthur Twins but as with many of them I need to gather more information on their first names and who their parents are. Don't you just love the furniture!




I love the dress's and beautiful hats of the Era. 

Now I have the time in my Retirement to go through the many boxes of Family photos and letters and try to get our Family tree started. It also reminds me to put names on all of our photos so our children have the information in the future.
I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into my Family tree.

Blessings,

Wanda
