Vintage Treasures

I have collecting recipe books

A coupLe of the classic Aunt Daisy Cookbooks, someone's old handwritten recipe book and a few others.

I'll be trailing some of the recipes and posting them on here.

Keep an eye out for the recipes

I love collecting 

This is my dads old printers draw. I have it hanging up in the wall.

I collect thimbles.

I also collect miniatures that are handmade from a couple of ladies that have a stall at a craft fair here in New Zealand.

This photo only shows some of my collection 

I also collection old jugs.

Some are from Germany, New Zealand, Japan

I also collect old books from my childhood

I read these when I was at school

Do you remember these?

Nothing like some vintage goodness 

And I collect vintage china 

I have many lovely pieces I have pirchased over the years 

Also, I have inherited, as above, my grandmothers China and crystal 

What do collect?

I could show you more but I'll save those for another day

I hope you are having a great weekend

Tilda Heart made from linen

Some of the linen I purchased yesterday made into a Tilda Heart.

This is embellished with vintage buttons and lace.

I LOVE it.

I came across a tutorial on how to do my own tags for my creations

Click HERE to visit Lyns blog for the tutorial.

A very simple easy thing to do

 These will be added to my gifts and creations in the future.

P.S I am feeling for all the people in Christchurch just now.

How very very hard for them at this time. It is so cold down in that part of New Zealand at this time of the year.
