'Cause When you ARE Vintage, You COLLECT Vintage

.

It's been quite a while since I played along over at Suzanne's Vintage Thingie Thursday party, so today I thought I'd join in again.

Goodness knows I've been spending time and $$$$$$$$$ collecting more goodies.


I am a sucker for fine china miniature tea things. So when I saw this dainty little cup and saucer (top) I knew it was coming home with me.


Maybe a doll could sip her tea from this cup - - - it not being much bigger around than a penny and all.


It moved in next door to my OTHER "tiny tea" right in the middle of the African Savannah where Sister Pam will worry that the elephants, rhino, and giraffe will CHARGE (and not with their cards either) and crush the daylights out of it.

Not to fear - - - we tip-toe around the Savannah Savages so as not to excite them into a stampede.


I told the story of finding this set of sewing machine cabinet drawers previously, but I know most of you other Vintage Thingies players probably didn't see that post, so I thought I'd show them to you again today.

'Cause I HEART them.


Now how cute are these little metal miniature chair place card holders?


I'm not letting them serve their purpose 'cause I don't want to hide them away! Instead, they are right out on the dresser here by my computer where I can leer at them with love every single day.

The pen is just for size comparison.

Yes, there's a GREAT story to go with the tiny cream colored bowl and pitcher, but I TOLD it over here already.


Don't tell Fisherhubby, but I believe I'm having an affair!!! A REAL love affair with creamy bowls and pitchers.

This is a "mini" one I just brought home to put on top of - - -


Fisherhubby's "new" old roll top desk. Oh and yes, there IS a story to go with the desk too and you may find it here.

Notice "X" marks the spot.

The spot where Fisherhubby drops his drawers, and other clothing items, because that's just the way he rolls, folks. (rolls - - - roll top desk - - - we're on a roll!)

Perhaps I should note here that the guardian angel picture (in this very frame and everything) under the desk hung above our bed, sister Pam and I shared a double bed, all our growing up years. It's a keeper for sure!


I'm not sure how old this is. I'm not even CERTAIN it qualifies as an antique.

But it IS vintage 'cause I got it at a consignment shop, so it belonged to somebody else first.


My friend Eloise (pronounced E-Lois) has little wooden houses above her dining room doorways and I've been coveting them for a long time.

Well, not coveting exactly - - - I "shorely" do NOT want to take hers away from her.

Anyway, I've been wanting some and keeping my eyes open for some, but haven't come across any yet.


What I did find is actually a metal tri-fold house and yard combo. The MINUTE I saw it, I KNEW exactly where I was going to put it in my home.

With that, I'm closing this vintage tour and asking you to please - - -
