I'll now translate in Southern Speak...."Maw's gittin in the tub with that frenchee smellin stuff. So you youngins better be still or youra gonna git a whoopin!"
The shop owner, Dianne found these lovelies and I had to have them.
The original box is so lovely. Don't you just love the tattered paper edging.
Can't you just imagaine a handsome young man bringing these home to his sweetheart. She must have cherished them so much that she decided to never use them and keep them in
her raboteuse, er, ah, drawers!
I will most likely put these in my Etsy shop, but right now I am enjoying just looking at them.
Now, get-a-load of this baby! A lovely hammered
tray. Look at those lovely handles with the flowers
and all.....sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
Check out the little guy.....
Another, Sissie's Shabby Cottage Pillow....
Now, I just have to figure out what I'm going to do for the next post!

I adore that fabulous chenille pillow Sissie! Love it! Dixie
What an absolutely wonderful find, I am quite envious, I am ashamed to say. I am a soapmaker and love love love old soaps and anything to do with soap.
Oh those hammered trays are FABuLouS!!! Love the soap but my allergies make it hard for me to have much fragrance around! Sigh....
wow, this this your house? It's really pretty!!
The soaps are just wonderful as well as the trays, but the chenille pillow is just so stunning it stole my heart. Hugs, Marty
Tres chic! Wow! You have an eye and a nose for the beautiful stuff! I can see them all finding lovely spots in your home!!
Each one is LOVELY! I really like that pillow! And I find it hard to actually use a pretty bar of soap too. Love to take a deep inhale of a well made bar of French Soap!
Ohh la la, Sissie!! Those soaps are wonderful! How could you part with them?!?!
I just love the handles on that tray!!
And your newest pillow is tres chic, mon ami!!!

Sissy, Love the soap box-and your pillows are gorgeous with the flowers. I'm also drawn to that hammered aluminum. My mom had several pieces, and I'm slowly gathering up a few pieces... another collection, if I let it be! Take care! Sherry
Those trays are beautiful, Sissie! The handles are so different from what I've seen.

Sissy, I love your pillows they are all so pretty!
Wonderful Sissie...love the tray also...Hope you have a Great day my friend...hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
I hope by drawers you mean as in "chest of"...I got a mental image! LOL Beautiful packaging. YOu know a lady could only accept certain things and still be a lady and I'm sure soap was one.
Debbie
P.S. My daddy always said "Do you want a whoopin'?"...like we were going to say yes, right?
i adore your pillows!! I wish I had some like that, but I can never seem to keep them beautiful around here! I have a hubby that bends them in half while he naps on the couch and a toddler that drags them on the floor.... I make my own throw pillows, and I promise you my blood pressure increases when I see them (ab)used!! :) Silly, I know...
Sissie, I love your pillow you made. How lovely it is.
And the southern speak is just great. I have a pretty southern accent and got a big kick out of your translation.
I'm visiting from my cousin's blog -- she won your sweet pillow giveaway with all the pockets full of lovely treasures. Your handmade pillows are fabulous as are all your creations. That box of soaps is truly fabulous! What a find! Wishing you a beautiful day! Tammy
Another beautiful post Sissie. i love your finds and that white pillow is gorgeous.
Dear Sissie,
Love the little old box with soaps, would never have passed it by, and your pillow is just wonderfull.
Hugs Dorthe

Those soaps do look divine!
I love the color palette you've got going on this post, very elegant and subdued.
Love you Etsy shop!

Anne
Sissie, you always have the neatest posts. My tub is calling me! And that pillow is the 'bees knees'!! Happy day sweetie!
Linda
Oh, how do you ever part with such adorable, beautiful things? I could never!! I love EVERYTHING you have posted on your blog...the tray....to die for. Maybe someday my things will be as pretty :). Have a wonderful day
Dana

Love the 'story' bout the soap.
Would ya' do me a favor?
I am so glad you signed up for my giveaway, but it was on the wrong post. If you'll go back over and click on the baby shoe nest on top of my blog, it will take you to sing up.
That way all my eggs are in one basket when i draw. =0))

Beautiful soaps and I really love the trays. In fact, I love trays in general. They're so much fun to decorate with.
Morning Sissie!!!I'm so glad you stopped by because I adore your blog!!! Your header is gorgeous-may I move in??lol I rarely go back through some blogs but I had to in yours - so many pretties! I love love that floral chair in your guestroom!! You've given me a new outlook on all those scrapbooking stickers I have too and they will be showing up on white plates (today?) You are adorable and I agree we do get more like our spouses with years passing (30 for us!) Well I just wanted to say hi and hope you'll visit me again - I will be back often!! Sincerely, Jeannette (oh by the way you are not missing much in your home State except lots and lots of snow!!!lol) Stay warm.
Sissie...I keep checking..and checking..and hoping for something RED and French...and country! :)
You leave the sweetest comments! Thank you!
