Back To School

Happy Labor Day Weekend Everyone!

This summer has gone by so quickly.

Hubby and I have been treasure hunting almost every weekend and it's time to share some photos of our fabulous finds.

I thought I'd start with a few old things that remind me of back to school.

Old school.

Antique books tied up with some twine.

This sweet photo of children dressed in their finest.

Colored pencils made of sticks.

An old wooden pencil box and a wooden apple too.

I will be traveling around New England this week and hope to have lots of photos to share when I get back.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a nice week all!

Tattered Shoes

I'm having a few business cards printed for my shop

RECONSIDERED.

I've tried making them myself in the past, but they just don't look the way I want them to.

Since I sell Antique Curiosities & Vintage Treasures,

I photographed these old, tattered, baby shoes as an option to use on my cards.

I didn't want my cards to look like anybody elses, and these well worn shoes have a certain charm to them, don't you think?

I just love the look of old, tattered, things.

These shoes are one of my favorites.

Do you love tattered things too?

I'd love to hear your comments.

Thanks for visiting.

Treasures & Lavender Sachets

I almost overlooked this sweet little bird when I found him at the local thrift shop.

He had been neglected for who knows how long and was covered in cobwebs and dust.

A little tender loving care and a lot of soap and water, brought him back to life.

I saw this antique paper clip in an old Victoria magazine a while back and just fell in love with it, so when I came across this one in an antique shop, I just had to have it.

A box of lavender sachet pillows that I'm working on.

I include one with each purchase from my vintage Etsy shop.

Speaking of that, don't forget to check out the CLEARANCE section of RECONSIDERED.

I'm adding lots of new goodies as well.

Lots of pretty things for sprucing up your home for Spring, some recycled, handmade items and even a few antique toys and tools.

There's something there for everyone.

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
