Hello, and happy Monday! I just wanted to pop in today and share some of the lovely old thing that have found their way into my studio lately in one way or another. A bit of show and tell, I guess. If you've been here very long, you know I'm a long time collector of vintage hankie cases, and this lovely thing is one of my new favorites, it was a gift from my husband. I LOVE the ribbon work on it!
Another gift from hubby. I'm not sure exactly what it is, probably a sachet? (although there is not a hint of a scent to it) It was originally from Saks 5th Ave.
A sweet, old quilt. This is how my daughter wrapped it up for me on my birthday last month.
And this. Ah...This stunning old lace panel is a bit of antique French lace I found on a road trip to NC with my husband last month.
I don't know, I may have paid a bit too much for it, but I just absolutely love it.
What about you? What have you found lately?
Stop back tomorrow for a Tuesday tutorial, and I just wanted to let you know my daughter is working on a much needed blog redesign for me, so if the blog is looking a bit wonky, you'll know why. :)

Your new treasures are just lovely and you were very lucky to find them. I've had some great luck myself lately, finding a gorgeous vintage rosy shoe organizer and a pale pink metal magazine rack. Come visit my blog to see them when you get a chance. Take care..
