OK, I'll admit it: I can't help myself when it comes to pressed flower pictures. To some, I'm sure they look like nothing more than old brown weeds. But they always speak to me of gardens and summers past. And I love it when they are framed in interesting shapes.
And I love it even more when they come in pairs. So much easier to hang in a symmetrical grouping that way. I forget how much these two pairs were. Probably like $1.50 each.
Finally, here are some custom curtains, all lined, in a wonderful pattern. I got two jabots, and four valances for $20. I'll probably use the valances in the upstairs hall, and cut the jabots up to make some pillows.
I also got a few books at the rummage sale, but I didn't take any pics of them. Anyway, you are probably sick to death of rummage sale posts.
Sorry, I can't help myself. ;)

Well, I'm not tired of rummage posts. I love looking at your finds. Keep them coming!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love those colonial type flowered prints. They're my favorite kind of flower print.
I love seeing your finds. I like pressed flowers too. I've never had much like pressing my own though. Someday I'll have something frame worthy.

I never get tired of rummage sale posts... I LOVE your pressed flowers and next time I go to our local Goodwill, I'll sure keep an eye open !
ReplyDeleteMary, I am NOT sick of seeing what you buy at rummage sales! NEVER! Keep shopping! I look forward to your deals and it inspires me to hit tag sales and Goodwill.
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid I'm a bit overcome with jealousy at the moment for your rummage treasures. I'm never tired of seeing other people's great buys! Love your stuff!
ReplyDeleteThose are lovely. I would love to do something similar myself one of these days.
