When I go to antique, thrift or consignment shops there are some things
that always catch my eye. Those of you who follow me know that I am a
total dishaholic. So when I saw this Limoges bullion cup all alone and missing
it's saucer, I fell in love with this little orphan.
So sweet and delicate. I will probably set it on my desk.
I love vintage wooden spools. I never use the thread on them.
I just save them like works of art.
Vintage linens are a huge passion of mine. Table cloths, napkins,
quest towels are always following me home.
Happily Joining ~
Bentley and I will be very busy fluffing the cottage this
morning getting ready for a fun weekend.
Big Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
pretty pretty pretty

Sweet finds that make a charming vignette. Your little Limoges cup is beautiful!

Hi Susan,
ReplyDeletePretty photos, so elegant looking. I like your cup, I would have never known what they were though so thanks for teaching me something new today. Have a great week!

Oh, my gosh! I am seriously in love with that Limoges! And the linen! I don't collect wooden spools, but from now on I'm going to be so aware of them! I'm going back to admire the Limoges . . .
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, I love that Limoges cup. Stunning!! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCynthia
All such lovely finds . Thanks for sharing them with us ! Have a good day !
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pinks. The Limoges is so pretty and I love the pink threads, delicate color.Happy pink saturday
ReplyDeletelovely double handle sipping cup and the pink napkin and wooden spools.
ReplyDeleteI love collections. There is just something so satisfying about looking at them. Sounds like a fun weekend ahead. xo Laura
ReplyDeleteI have always had a love for dishes, even if I did not need or buy them. I have so very much of vintage linen and several old spool of thread. Also, have a perfect set of the Flower of the Month cups and saucers.
ReplyDeleteYes, I too am a dishaholic, daughter of one, sister to 3 more! I love your little bouillon cup. It just goes to show that supersize portions are something new. I can just see these dainty cups used at a ladies' luncheon. And old textiles...love them, buy them, treat them every so carefully. Treasures!
ReplyDeleteSusan- You have collected some VERY beautiful things! I love dishes, too, and have to put a hold on myself so that I don't keep buying. Love the sweet bouillon cup! xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh how very pretty. Delicate in design and substance. What a treasure to enjoy on your desk. I understand the 'disease.' It could be a lot worse. Yes? Hope you and Bentley have a wonderful time and an Extraordinary weekend.
ReplyDeleteI noticed the wooden spools immediately! I used to make them into children's knitting spools. I asked my father to hammer 4 nails into them to get me started on creating "the world's longest knit cord" with leftover balls of yarn.
ReplyDeleteVintage linens, beautiful Limoges and wooden spools...we do have a lot in common. All of your finds are just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend,
Robin
lovely, delicate, feminine....so pretty
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful!

We collect the same things Susan, right down to the little wooden spools of thread. I don't use mine either. The little limoges cup was a wonderful find. I would have snapped that up ~ have a wonderful weekend my friend (((Hugs)))
ReplyDeleteI would be very happy if I had such a delicate cup in my humble collection. It's beauty. Happy weekend. Regula
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that you adopted the orphan cup. Something that pretty should have a home. I also like old spools of thread. When I picked up a lovely old sewing machine cabinet at a yard sale one year, I found several spools of small thread in the drawers. Your pictures are lovely as always.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific weekend and blessings from Still Woods Farmhouse
The little cup has found a good home...I used to paint on spools. I used them for many craft projects. What a shame that they don't make the wooden ones anymore...Balisha
ReplyDeleteWe like the same things - that bullion cup would have been impossible for me to ignore.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for joining in this week.

Oh Susan
ReplyDeleteWonderful Limoges cup - I can't imagine anyone could part with it!
I'm so glad it's found a safe haven with you and will be appreciated.
The old spools of pink cotton and sweet pink hand towel are lovely.
