Vintage Thingie Thursday: Vintage This and That

Welcome everyone to Vintage Thingies Thursday. If you have a love for vintage things, well....you have come to the right place. We have a "dog-gone" good time each and every week!!!
If you are new to this party, please take the time to read and follow the instructions for participating in Vintage Thingies Thursday, click HERE. I try and keep things fairly simple, so  please make sure you follow the instructions. Please only ONE link per week.  

Lastly, if you link in, your post needs to include:

1. the LINK back to my blog and or the button for Vintage Thingie Thursday. I have been visiting lately and when I click on a link, there is no mention of Vintage Thingie Thursday or my blog. 

2. make sure your post has something to do with something vintage. All advertisements will be deleted. If you'd like to advertise on my blog, email me, we can work that out. No more free advertising by linking in.  Shame on those who do this, nothing is free in life.

Starting this month, if you fail to either have the button on your blog, or in your blog post and/or have not linked back to my blog in your post. I will delete your link. 

It is not fair to those who follow the rules to allow others not to do so. I am not being ugly, but rules are rules.....in all aspects of life. So if you find your link removed, check your post, you need to see why that happened. Hopefully, I won't have to do that. 

This week, is just a mix and match type of post. I had several photos saved on my computer and decided to include some of them in one post. So, don't be too confused if these don't seem to be related in similarity!

This is the top shelf in my sewing room. Here my aloe vera  plant has been happy to hang out all winter long. It is planted in a  vintage tin tray-type pot. This will be going outside soon, the weather is just nice enough now that we should be clear of any freezing weather.

I also have lots of buttons, many of them vintage and housed in vintage jars.  I really love my buttons!!

A few weeks ago, I received a package of scraps in the mail from Mandi and the New Orleans Modern quilting guild for my begging quilt project....that is still underway! Anyway, this vintage scrap was in the package and well, I simply could not cut it. I am going to frame this in a little frame and put it in my sewing room. I was just enchanted with this scrap, it is so, so sweet.

Monday was my birthday, and my mom's gift was wrapped in this adorable packaging. The flowers are made from old patterns as well as the inside. There is a sweet tag and a little spool of thread. I have this hanging in my sewing room too!! It is so cute.

Lastly, this is a real couple of vintage thingies!! This is my wisteria tree that blooms all down the fence in front of my house. This year it was simply beautiful. It is over 20 years old, and well on its way to vintage if you ask me!!! That is my mom.....who well, sorry mom, is sorta vintage too!!! But let me clarify....a very young vintage lady....not a thingie!!!

Have a great week everyone, looks like spring is finally here....enjoy it!!! Here is wishing you a very happy Vintage Thingie Thursday.

I thought the giveaway would be announced this week, but gosh, we have one more week of March....NEXT week I will announce the winner!!! Then, we will start over for April.....no foolin'!
