**New Treasures**

Hey everyone, sorry its been a while, things have been crazy around here! 
The flea market on Sunday went great, I had so much fun with Irma and her lovely husband, they are just fantastic people and sweet as heck!
I thought I'd show you some of my new treasures I got yesterday. I've been dying for this item ever since I saw it.


Love this bolster pillow made out of vintage grain sacks. I got it from Full Bloom Cottage.




Here's my vintage chippy milk stool, it's cream with blue paint showing through. I've been wanting one of these forever! These things are quite expensive, but I got this one for a great price.


This is ornamental oregano, it's just beautiful with it's sage green and lavender blooms, and it smells so good. Maybe this is the reason my allergies have been acting up!


 Here's my goodies I got from Jeanne at A Bushel and a Peck.
Gorgeous French letters from the early 1900's and vintage French velvet ribbon. Yummy!


Another shot of my bedroom.
Hope you enjoyed.
Have a lovely afternoon.
Sincerely,
Melinda

  3. Is that a mantle as a headboard? I also use one for my headboard. I love Loretta's pillows, she also has the greatest stuff. Great pictures.
