bits, and bobs, and things....

I had to step onto the wooden trunk in the living room to get this aerial shot of the ironstone platter with vintage buttons.  Either that or I'm very tall - but it's one of those two possibilities.  I found the platter and buttons on a recent antiquing trip and thought it would be cute to put the buttons on the platter and add a few candles.  My mom and I used some of the buttons for our sewing projects.

The below picture may look familiar if you saw this post.  I swapped out the green bowl for a very old egg basket that I found when I was antiquing with my mom.  I have always liked old egg baskets and I especially loved this one and its simplicity.  The green bowl now houses cookie cutters in my display cabinet above the sink.

The below is in our master bathroom.  The little French bucket holds our lavender cleaning products and lavender linen spray.  The soap is Savon De Marseilles - I love the blockiness of these soaps.  The little flowered bag was made by a local woman in the Twin Cities.

I hope you are all having a safe and wonderful weekend my friends :o)  I'm about to make some coffee in our new pretty coffee maker...sometimes I just like to stare at it.
