How could I resist this serene, beautiful, patina-ed, breathtaking garden statue of our Blessed Mother...
She was my last find of the day and by far the favorite.
I was on the hunt for vintage white linens, and the search paid off. The embroidery and crochet edgings on these various pieces really caught my eye:
It's never too early to shop for vintage Christmas! These were all found at the Flea:
Simply darling:
Love this old white bottlebrush tree, and the vintage mother of pearl buttons:
Speaking of Christmas, I've been busy covering some mini boxes with vintage wallpaper and ephemera. They'll get ribbons to hang as ornaments. Hmmmm...to keep or sell on Etsy. Tough decision!

Gorgeous whites, love your Madonna find. andrea@townandprairie
I am drooling over the beautiful statue of Mary, Susan! What a find! You always manage to discover the most amazing treasures! And of course I wouldn't be able to resist gorgeous vintage linens, either! Your mini covered boxes are so cute, what a fun idea to hand them on the tree!
Everything is so pretty
Oh, such great goodies you found. Love the statue. I recently purchased a similar one with the concrete surround base that she stands in. Both have a few cracks that were mended, but I'm going to try and repair and repaint. I bought to resell, but really want to keep them.....I guess we'll see how well they turn out. I never mind a few cracks..LOL

Loving those little boxes...anything mini is awesome in my book actually. The light colors are wonderful, these would make great little decorations for a party, even hanging from a chandelier!
