Dreamy Finds

I'm loving my vintage feather duster, with touches of pale pink.  I found it at a local resale shop.








There's something very dreamy about it.







Speaking of dusting.  That's what I've been doing this weekend.  I've also started painting.  Not furniture, but rooms in my house.  I've been putting off quite a few projects.  I'll have to show you a room when I'm done.

Something else I picked up are these shabby sea shells (Try saying that three times fast.) from the Pacific Ocean.




Aren't they pretty?








A pile of delicate vintage linens and hankies, unearthed at an estate sale.





All in unused condition.  Love em.








Here's a peek at another find.


Can you guess what it is?  It needs a little help.  I'll show you the complete makeover in another post.  See ya soon.

  2. I used to have a vintage feather duster that I used all the time. I don't know what happened to it- never did see it after we moved!

    Love that little peek of a piece of furniture!!!

  11. Thank you dearly Rosemary your encouraging words to my art of transforming pieces of old I treasure.

    Your feather duster is a perfect find, you make me wish I could find one with such beauty as yours.
    I am forever inspired with all your treasured finds and the painting that goes on over here as well.

    I am excited to see the rooms you have painted and what tone you created for the rooms filled with your talents.
