part with.
I bought the blue stemware glasses at least 15 years ago!
This lovely shell lidded bowl is a Fitz and Floyd piece from
many years ago
Of course as you know, I make table runners. The two shown here are burlap and cotton.
Do you know that I absolutely love vintage or lovely linen
pillow shams? I bought these in Savannah, Georgia
in a little shop on Front Street. I paid an arm and leg for them but I had to have them!! But, that was many years ago, so I have forgiven myself!
Notice how I keep saying that most of these items were bought many years ago. I get attached to things. Maybe that's why I've been married for 36 years!!!! Are you that way?

The pillow shams are amazing! I love them and can see why you are so attached to them. The fish plates are very cute!! I'm trying to stay cool today...so hot!
Love those blue stems!! Those pillows are awesome too!!!!!
Quite right, Sissie, I wouldn't have been able to resist those beautiful pillow covers either.
Yes, I get attached to things, too, Sissie. Like you, I've had my hubby for over 25 years ~ just can't part with him! ; ) The pillow shams are gorgeous! I don't blame you for splurging on them.
Just to give you a heads up, Sissie, I am drafting a post that you will be mentioned in, along with a couple of the things you make {it goes with my theme for that post}.
Yes dear Sissie,
I too get attatched to beautifull things-can`t throu them out,- keeps them for ever, and do not use them much, -but they just belongs to my life....
Your fishplates are wonderfull,-and the pillows so very beautifull, I would love to keep them,too.
You have so many wonderfull things,sweet friend.

Dear Sissie,

Warmest hugs to you! Brenda
I love linens too! Those are fabulous, and yes I hang on to things for a long time too. I have a hard time picking out things I would want to sell in my shop or at shows. I think of way too many reasons why I can't let go of stuff. Oh well, it's nice to know I'm in good company! :) Theresa
Sissie~~~
I love pretty pillow shams with lace and embroidery...I hunt them down!! Whether old or new, they have to have one or the other to get on my bed! ;-)
Love, love the pretty dishes! You have so many cute coastal things, I'd love to shop your house. And I love old things, too. Look at my husband of 25 years!

Sissie, Do I get attached to things? Just take a look at my blog name for the answer. The pillow shams are gorgeous. I can see why you had to have them. Love the fish plates and the blue stemware.
xo, Sherry
I'm so glad to know you hang onto things, too! But who could part with that lovely stemware and dishes? Those shams are so pretty, too.
Hugs,
Nancy
Yes Yes Yes!!! I save everything too. We just may need it one day. My husband picks on me because I store everything in my attic. He thinks one day it will all come crashing down. Lord I hope not. Have a great weekend my friend! Susie~

Oh my...the Fitz & Floyd is divine!
m ^..^
I'm going to an estate sale tomorrow...wouldn't it be just wonderful to find pillow shams like yours? Just dreaming I know!
Love your fish dishes too!
Rondell
Wow, Sissie, I'm amazed that you manage to sew all the beautiful pillows and table runners with one arm and one leg only, ha, ha, ha. Well, that pillow is really beautiful and it's good that you have forgiven yourself. I get attatched to things as well and I don't think that this is a bad thing.
I would wish you a great weekend but I'm sure you'll come up with something pink tomorrow :-), so I just wish you a lovely Friday!
Hugs,
Julia
Hi Sissie. Yes I get attached to things too so end of this year I will be married for 50 years.:))) I love those pillow shams , beautiful.
Have a great day
Morning Sissie! I adore that lidded shell bowl - just gorgeous; I am nuts for anything embroidered and those shams are sooo elegant/shabby! I read you are hoping to move back to WV! I moved to WV from New England and although I really miss NE when we talk about moving from WV we can't think of where else we want to go now! (even though my heart is near the coast!lol)The climate here is usually fantastic! I wish you luck in your future plans! Sincerely, Jeannette (thanks for your sweet comments on my freshening up post!)
Hi Sissie!
Oh girl, those pillow shams are gorgeous! I have the hardest time passing beautiful embroidered pillow cases or shams. And the Fitz and Floyd covered dish is wonderful!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sissie you have the most beautiful things!! I love those pillows and your pictures are just lovely too!
Thanks for commenting on my arbor my son made for me! I sure love showing it off!
