White Wednesday - London bits - London #10


Chippy

Rusty

White

Yeah -

that describes some of the
"treasure bits" that I lugged
home from London.

Cool lion door knocker, huh!
Not a lot of white -
but I LOVE him!

doll bits
tiny antique cups and saucers
delicate linen measuring tape

french beaded flowers
french jars

mmmmm.....

I wish I had another suitcase
--and the strength to carry --
and I would have bought the
WHOLE BOX of JARS!!

wooden finials

not white, 
but aren't the keyhole guards dreamy, too?
(do they have a "real" name??)

chippy old door hardware

who realized I bought the same bits
at THREE markets??

Guess I'm consistent!

These will all be for
art-y projects ....


Like this 
PERFECT
clock face.

Perfect for a holiday project.

But also perfect for
"just looking at".

In case it's not done for
THIS Christmas ....

Just sayin'
NO PRESSURE!

Several of the bits
are now "living"
in the cubbies in my
dining room.

They have joined other
white pals ...
like the small
ironstone creamer
at Tarte barn ...

Who else is there?

This and that.

Bits and pieces pulled together.

No real plan --

They just make me smile!

Hugs and hoping you have many occasions to smile today!

  1. Gotta love white and chippy, next to pink , the very best! I also bought a box with 20 old door knobs! Maybe that says something about my psyche (is that how you spell that)spell check says yes...Maybe it means I need to get going??
    JOY!

  2. Love your souvenirs...all of 'em! I really love the french jars...too bad you didn't bring home the whole box. I would have bought some from you. They are Fab U Lous!
    Are you ready for your big word of the day? Escutcheons...that's a fancy schmancy word for keyhole plates and that concludes today's lesson.

  3. Ohhhh, I love all your little "bits" and pieces of white. And your cubby is the perfect show-off place. Love those white French bottles. What were they used for? They are gorgeous!

  8. Wow, seems like just the other day there were teacups galore filling the cubbies in your dining room. Where did they all go? And now you have such cute treasures there. Ooooh, I get to see them for real in just a few hours! Can't wait. ~Adrienne~
