Party Time !

Welcome to my party!
it's time to show off the 2nd hand collections!
this month, I wanted to share some of my Valentine images with you...
so you will have time to use them in your fun projects!
and remember that next month's party will be on Feb 13th!
so here we go...
I love this one...
I love all the vintage valentines, but the old penny postcards are one of my favorite things to look at and work with...
I am so in awe of all the vintage artwork and how long some of these pieces would have taken to do...
snag all you want and have fun with them...
you can join the party by adding yourself to the linky...
all I ask is that your post is ad free and no give aways...

Tete's 2nd Hand Collections December Party!

this month I want to share my vintage kitchen collectibles...
these are my great grandmother's Watt pottery bowls...
there are 3 that nestle together...
her name was Nellie...
they are in a beet pattern...
and they have so much age...
they were used many times...
to make things for her family...
I found these vintage cookie cutters on eBay last year after Christmas at a very good price...
I think grandma Nellie would have liked them a lot...
these items belong to my grandma, Mabel...
and they all go together very well with the other items...
the star collander belong to grandma Mabel, also...
it looks cool with a candle under it...
and the flour sifter belonged to my DH's mom, Catherine...
it's a Bromwell...
just think of all the meals and goodies these items help make through the years...
now they are just pretties to remind me of my family...
and to give Nellie, Mabel and Catherine a place of honor in my kitchen...
I also have my grandma Mabel's turkey roasting pan...
my mom's Visions' pink roasting dish...
Catherine's pink fire king glass dish...
and a few other things around here that keep them close to me...
Now let's see what you have this time...
just add yourself to the linky and let's PARTY!
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

2nd Hand Collections Blog Party Starts Here...

my collection this month is...
BUTTONS!
I used to buy jars of these and resell them...
of course I went through them first...
and I found the ones that made me smile...
I kept the odd ones...
the pretty ones...
notice the brown one on the bottom row here?..
the two holes are at the very edge of the button...
was it on purpose?...
or miss stamped?...
it's a very small collection...
but I was very picky about the ones I kept...
I thought about getting a canvas and sewing them on it...
to hang...
maybe someday...


so, what are you going  to share this month?...
I can't wait to see!...
if you have come to play along...
just add yourself to the linky below...
