Pearls and Lace Thursday #126 Creamy Pearls and Lace

If you've visited my blog any before, you know how much I love Pearls and Lace...

Well, my favorite theme is what I'd like to share with you today.

The latest finds from Etsy, Ebay, and Estate Sales!

We reached the low 80's today, and expect garage sales and yard sales will be plentiful soon...

I just hope I can wait!

One of my favorite things to do is to spread out the new pieces of laces and linens, pearls and buttons that I've collected, and display them in all their beauty.  I have used a foam board with old dictionary pages glued (with modge podge!) to it to make a vintage background.

The eyelet pieces above are aged to perfection...the staining only making them more beautiful and appealing to me.

I love the creaminess of the colors, variations of whites that make my heart happy!

I scored a few pearl necklaces at an estate sale last Friday....Could you hear me singing?!!

I love the way a bit of rusty goodness gives these pieces the aged quality I desire so much.

They just look loved to me.

I am just delighted with these goodies.  After a week of being dejected because an estate sale opened early (you know who you are!!), and the big tray of pearl necklaces was already taken (you know who you are too!!), I was so hopeful that this next week would be a good one.  I was so excited to find that the sale was starting at the time posted!!  I didn't mind standing in line and it was so worth it!

Now realize, not all the sales I find have goodies, sometimes nothing.

And, the laces are all from either ebay or etsy shops.  But there's just something about the hunt, the find, and the excitement of owning something beautiful that I can share with you!!
