Show and Tell Monday
My show and tell is a mixed bag today, something old, something new, wait a minute, this is sounding like a wedding. To start off we have a little thing I call a stationery purse, it opens and has a matching notebook and pen. It is polka dot and has a rose pattern on the sides and inside as well. Next is a little pink box/purse I found the other day for only $3 and love! I want to do something to it, just not sure what to do yet, but this one is mine!. Moving on . . . I am making a little space for me, I covered this organizer in paper and I still need to add some embellishments. I just needed a place where I could find paper and a pen. I know this doesn't sound like much but with 2 kids who love to write on anything and everything, this is important to me.
Finally, I saved the best for last. I received a box of treasures last week from Lilli of Lilli Blue's Vintage Rescue. If you have not visited her Little Pink Boutique yet you must. She generously gave me this wonderful assortment of vintage laces, buttons, ribbons, paper goodies. . .you name it, it is in there. I am so fortunate!. What more could a girl ask for.
Well, this is it, a variety of trinkets for your viewing pleasure! Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful Monday!

Hi Carrie,
What fun stuff. I love boxes of old lace, etc. I always feel like I've come across a treasure! Great family photos too.
Oooh, lace and ribbons are some of my favorite things! Thank you for sharing your treasures. I know just what you mean about being able to find a pen. It is a running joke in my house that if you need something to write with you should look under the children's pillows:)
Carrie, oh wow! Love your new creations. Those were such great gift ideas! Love that black and white polka dot look!
Pei Li
Well, the English teach in me loves anything having to do with pens, papers, pencils!! As nice as this e-box it, there is nothing as satisfying as paper and pencil!

Carrie, I love the organizer best of all. I know it will be even more beautiful when you add the embellishments!

Everything is bo beautiful. That box of goodies looks like something you will have lots of fun with.
Carrie, they are all great but that paper/pen caddy is a great idea. Could you rig up a mousetrap for the pen thieves??? Can't wait to see what the treasures from Lilli turn into,
