The Wonder of Whites
I wanted to share a few white things I found Sunday at thefirst Springfield Flea Market of the year. I wasn't going to make the tripout of town for just a few vendors, but my daughter was downin the dumps, so to cheer her, we made the drive which gave us time to talk.I wasn't expecting to find anything, but I found three lovely whiteitems I just couldn't wait any longer to share.First I found these two white metal terrarium~type containers.
They will both be for sale at my Open House, but I'm having trouble deciding if I should sell them empty or place something inside.Any suggestions?I think the tall one would look lovely with a plant inside or a tallpillar candle. The ring on the top allows it to be hung and wouldbe so beautiful hanging on a porch or deck on a summer night.
The other container doesn't have a door that opens making itslightly harder to fill, but would also look nice with something spillingout of it.
It also matches fairly well another container I found at Goodwillsome time back. Don't they make lovely companions?
The third great find at the flea market is an absolute delight to me and hasbeen in every picture so far. Did you notice it?It's the nubby white bedspread that I purchased for only $12.I may use it as a tablecloth for display purposes or eventually cut itup and make pillows. I actually haven't even spread it out yet tosee if it has any stains, but I just love it.
I think it's dreamy and love it's texture, but I don't need it for a bed. Ithink it is one of my best and favorite finds so far and something that is definitely a "keeper".I have lots of white things to sell at the Open House and there is nothing prettier than a grand mixture of white textures. So for now ~ it will beused as a backdrop for all the lovely whites I have.~Linking withFaded Charm for White Wednesday

I was thinking about you today during my commute. You picked up some truly beautiful items in Springfield. It sounds like you and your daughter and a perfect Mom/daughter day.
HAPPY SPRING! La
Hi Cindy....I agree on the nubby white bedspread. It could be used in so many ways! Great price too! I think the sky is the limit in what you could put in those terriums. I am sure you will come up with something spectacular! ~Hugs, Patti
Love your finds Cindy! Love the bedspread and the pretty containers. I think they would be lovely with most anything in them.
Blessings~

I love your finds! And yes, I think something inside the terrariums. Good luck with the open house! – g
Cindy- I love those 2 greenhouse looking items! The pictures are just so great- is that pretty green one of your wall colors? You sure are finding lots of great things for your open house!
I have been doing a little sewing to try and make me a few new things for the trip- nothing like what you do. When I was sewing the little purse I made I kept thinking of how much better it would look if Cindy was at the sewing machine doing this!
I have make a few things and it makes me feel good to have a few cute things and not spending a dime!
