Vintage Thingie Thursday: A Little Bit of Vintage Royalty

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.

I don't know how by now you have not heard of the big event this week coming up...another Royal wedding. I myself, I have to admit I am looking forward to it.

There is nothing like a fairytale ending that does the heart good. I can hardly wait for the wedding.

This lovely vintage church is Westminster Abby.....there has been lots of activity this week here at the Abby. I myself just love the stained glass and the gothic design of the Abby.

Maple trees and flowers that are native and blooming this time of year were chosen by Kate and after the workers transfer this into a wooded, flower wonderland, and the wedding is over the plants will then be planted locally. I love that.

Security has had dress rehearsals too.....I am sure this is a long standing routine......vintage style.

Here is another shot. All have to be ready for the big day!!

Now, I am most sure this is a vintage Royal carriage. Oh, how fairytale like to think of riding in this carriage wearing a Royal wedding gown.....so very romantic.

Just look at the onlookers camping out already, awaiting the big event. Amazing. (all photos are from internet)

Now, to keep with the rules and post a "vintage thingie".......I had to really dig to come up with something today!!

Several years ago....SEVERAL, my mom went to London and brought home a few souvenirs that I still have. The first one is a tin representing a mail box. It was full of toffees, and is intent is a bank. I think it is rather cute and have saved it all these years.

My mom also brought me a thimble, as she knew I collected thimbles....still do for that matter. However, this one has the queen on the front and a royal symbol underneath. It is old, and has a little chip in it, but that does not bother me.



Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday.....hope it is a Royal Day for you!!!
