Love the Merry Christmas card.
The salt shakers are my favorites !

What are you going to create with the feather nests ? (maybe that would be cute for your mohair bear / bunny too? who wouldn't want to sleep in a feathered nest !?)


The teacup is cute (Liek that it is for Ohio for a swap ) and love the red metal bowl

Wow Kim!

What a fabulous bunch of goodies. I am not sure what I like best!

The cup and saucer is lovely. But those nests I do love them!!!

Well done on finding such wonders.

Mmmmmm me thinks I may need to start doing some thrift shopping myself.

Total jackpot!!!!! Isn't finding treasures in an antique shop the most fun!!! I get so I am addicted. For example, if I go shopping one day and find lots of stuff..then I am chomping at the bit to find more stores and check them out. Why am I not addicted to exercise and housecleaning?? and cooking? but no, I am addicted to hunting for antiques, shopping for stamping supplies, and reading!

I liked your idea about the faux family round robin....we will have to investigate that??? Like how would it work? I am going to be off computer for the afternoon and will check back later in case you have an idea!!!
