Vintage Monday - Old and New Treasures

I know it's late Sunday evening but......I'm posting Vintage Monday a little early because I will be gone tomorrow for the day and I wanted to tell you about my fun day last Friday. Nanette and I met for lunch and we did a little bit of treasure hunting afterward.
I got this fabulous cake plate....it's made by joining a vintage china dinner plate on top of a crystal candlestick...add some satin ribbon and a little bit of tule....gorgeously vintage.
I think I'll put it in my livingroom and put some of my other vintage finds on it....a hat-white gloves-hankies-jewelry....I don't know, what do you think?

I picked up a couple of vintage linens....one with a beautiful monogrammed "H" and the other with a hand crocheted lace edge.

I always pick these up when I find them for a good bargain....I have cream and white vintage linens all over my cottagey livingroom.

This is Nanette and I together as we hunt for treasure.

Nanette is so adorable and I'm so happy that we met through blogging...I am blessed indeed. We have alot in common and I feel like we have known each other for longer than 6 months.

We even think alike....as we sat down at the resteraunt we pulled out gifts for each other at the same time...we laughed because we had each brought some fabric and a piece of homemade jewelry for each other....too funny!

This is what Nanette gave me....

A ring pincushion......how clever and cute is that?

Some fabulous fabric from her stash.....thanks for sharing some with me Nanette...I just love it.

Friday was a great day....I found a few old treasures while hunting...but the real treasure is the new friend I have found. Thanks Nanette!
