I did manage to hold on to this beauty.  It is so me &#8211; the soft pink, hand painted white [...]

Shiny, soft, brilliant color.

There&#8217;s nothing like vintage perle cotton &#8230; kept in an old marinated artichoke jar.  The dryer sheet removes any musty odors on the perle and a precaution against lingering artichoke aroma.


I love looking at the luscious luminance wound in a ball, the graphics on the labels. I love how the silky strands feel while [...]

		<description><![CDATA[I believe I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I collect patterns &#8212; leaflets, books, magazines, and even digitally now.  The form just doesn&#8217;t matter.  Antique and vintage patterns are a special favorite.  When it&#8217;s a well-worn publication, it gets an even deeper place in my heart.

There&#8217;s an unexplained kinship with needlewomen of the past - wondering which patterns they worked and to [...]

My camera found the French pink, the soft vintage pink, the professional pink.
This clever vendor creates clocks using all vintage materials. Here she applied bits of pink vintage jewelry to [...]

Some little girls get into mom&#8217;s makeup and jewelry. I was into her sewing box. Along with the treasures within, I adored the embossed knight and castle scene on the top.
The 16&#215;12 inch tin was once filled to the brim with German lebkuchen, lebkuchen being gingerbread cookies. Tins like this are still given as gifts around Christmas. In fact, [...]

It&#8217;s a rare object in my house that simply sits there. When you live in a small space, there isn&#8217;t much room for useless stuff. Objects simply have to function. That doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that function can&#8217;t be beautiful.


It&#8217;s the little functional items in everyday life that can bring the most joy. Used day after [...]

Perhaps it&#8217;s my German and Pennsylvania Dutch heritage that draws me to these rather stern versions of St. Nick.

Whether a chocolate mold under a cloche &#8230;

or a detailed hand carving from a thick block of wood, I simply love the old world charm of him &#8212; the precurser to our modern jolly Santa Claus.

Our modest little table top tree, loaded with entirely too many ornaments &#8212; just the way hubby wanted it.  Believe it or not, he didn&#8217;t even put all we had on the tannenbaum. There&#8217;s still a bin and a half full.
That&#8217;s what happens when ya downsize.  We went from a 7 footer to this cute [...]

Five sweet pastel Austrian ornaments. Love the dainty wire wraps. But wait! The box says 1/2 made in Austria &#8212; I bet it&#8217;s the glass part. No one makes such exquisite glass ornaments as the Austrians.


One box of small vintage silver glass ornaments and one box [...]
