How's your day going?
I sure can tell you that a bunch of us here in California are loving this cooler weather!!
Now I don't mind doing a little housework since it isn't smoking hot!
I'll just dust around and while doing so snap a few pics of some of my favorite pieces, like this sweet little chalkware girl.....
....and my antique powder boxes that are also music boxes. They have a wonderful patina on them...
....and interesting designs on the top, like the crown on the one above.

Oh Becky, I love everything! We, too, are collectors of old books. I love placing them around our home; and reading a few too!
Blessings,

the chalkware beauty...love it.
I'm an "old book" lover too...my favorite is my granny's old Cokesbury's hymnal :)
Have a good night too! Thought of you earlier today when I saw a sweet Fiona-look-alike at the vet today. -amy

I love absolutely everything you showed! I so appreciated your sweet comment on our blog today. Thank you so much for visiting. I enjoyed seeing some of your motto prints. Have a nice week! Twyla
Such beautiful treasures! I'll bet your home is just as sweet as can be!
Thanks for sharing.Enjoy the cool weather.
I love the sight of old books!!! I have a friend how collects the powder boxes also. I found a large one (probably 8 inches at least) that when you open it looks like it would hold a donut (does that make sense?) I am thinking it may be a hair receiver?

So many wonderful pieces and praying for you too that you are fine! Thank you Becky!!
I love all of your little treasures! And my hubby would just go nuts over your old books.
Have a wonderful fall day!
Hi Becky! (AKA "California Girl" - I think I was new and didn't know your first name. So funny to hear that you discovered your "new name" in this way through one of my posts! Anyway, I was thrilled to hear that you are loving your feedsack squares. I'd love to see any and all projects that you come up with! Awesome!!!
Loving all your gorgeous vintage treasures today, too! You always find the most beautiful items! I especially love the antique postcard with the Beatitude, "Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God." Thank you for sharing!
Also...It's my first BLOGOVERSARY today and I am having a GIVEAWAY, so please come on over and enter. Everyone is welcome!
We love the older books too!
I so enjoyed my look at your treasures..hard to pick a favorite but I do like the arrangement on the mirror.
Thanks for wishing Rob a happy birthday ~ just finished making the best homemade chocolate cake! Do ya think we could eat dessert before dinner? Hee!
I thought of you ~ have you seen the Just CrossStitch 2009 Christmas Ornament issue? There is the most adorable black scotty dog with plaid.. too cute!
This weather is so wonderful ~ enjoy and take care,
Michelle

My grandma had a powder box that played music. I hadn't thought about that for years. Mimi
Hi Becky,
Isn't it nice to breathe fresh,cool air? I didn't think it was ever going to cool down.
All of your things look so nice together. You've got such a great eye for vingnettes.
Hugs,
Dawn
I love how you put things together Becky. You see beauty in so many things and when you put them together they are treasures! I have that same little white bird! Isn't that funny?
Sometimes I think that beautiful vintage items that were well loved and cared for hold an energy that shines through. We can be drawn to how much they meant to someone else at one time. Your lovely items seem to emit that sort of feeling.

Becky,
I always love looking at your vignettes, your style is so great. Love the rough compacts, frames and statue. Lisa
