 This week I have a cute little vase I found that just screams 1970's to me! At first, when I saw this I thought it might be some type of milk glass, but I am not sure, it is pretty thick. No matter, I loved the little flowers.

Here is a side shot of the little vase. No markings at all on this one....it sorta reminded me of the glass you would see in things that were made by Avon during the 1970's, but like I said....there were no markings.

I think it looks so cute in my window ledge....makes me smile!!!

Now another thing I want to share is the Birthday card for seniors. My blogging friend who inspired this opportunity passed away suddenly last month and it was a tragic shock for her family and friends. Infact, one of her last post on facebook was about a Birthday coming up and sending out a card.

I'd like to encourage you to do just that....bless a senior with a card and a dollar bill.....not only will it brighten someone's day, but it is also keeping the giving spirit of my friend, Pat alive and well.

I picked these vintage cards up at an estate sale.....I just love vintage cards and may very well send one out this month.

We have two Birthdays this month....

Joyce Walker will be 80!! She is full of life, loves chickens and roosters, takes care of her husband better than you could ever imagine!! A very special lady indeed!! Her Birthday is July 2nd...I know very near, but she loves to "Birthday" long after the date so go ahead and mail a card with 1.00....she won't mind she loves surprises!!

Joyce Walker

The second one is also a Joyce, she will be 82. She lost her husband a few years ago, but still does more for herself than she ever should be doing at this age!! Full of life and loves to save a buck!!! I know a card and a dollar would thrill this one beyond believe as well....if you can 't send a dollar, a card will do just fine. Her birthday is July 18th.

Joyce Cooper
1621 Barron Lane
Ft. Worth, Tx 76112

As always, thank you so much for being a part of this project....and I'd like to ask instead of taking the time to leave me a comment, instead write a Birthday note and send to these special ladies!! Help me make their day a little brighter and full of fun and a super surprise by a card shower!!!

Happy Vintage Thingie Thursday everyone....have a wonderful holiday weekend!!!

This week I have a few vintage pieces in a yellow theme. I usually don't gravitate to yellow as a rule, but these are not the normal things and to me, they are quiet special.

I really can not remember where I spotted this sweet yellow plate. I love the crazing and the delicate roses on the handles of the plate. Believe me when I said I snatched this up so fast it was not even funny. I know I did not pay more than a dollar or so for this plate.

The yellow basket was a GW wind I paid 50 cents for this basket. To me, it was a real buy. I have seen these before on someone's blog, and they had all four of the baskets in different colors. I only found one, but always keep an eye out for more!

This is the marking on the back of the little basket. I thought is was rather unusual, so I decided to include a photo of it.

This little platter is really rather small in size. It is about 7 inches long, and I like the pattern. Of course, it has its fair share of yellow too.

Hope the sunny yellow vintage goodies bring a bright spot to your day!! Have a great week and enjoy each and every day!

Well....blogger sure played tricks on all our post last week....let's hope this week is a little better!!!

I picked these little ash trays up at an estate sale a few months back. I loved the little flowers, but I really liked the fact that they originally came from a local store here in Ft. Worth.

And....No......I am not a smoker and these are not being used as they were intended!!

The flower is a Morning glory cactus....I loved the flowers on these.

This is what is on the back....Striplings was a department store here in Ft. Worth for a very long time. But like most things of the past, they all have closed now. In fact, at one time there were about 5 of them total I believe. I don't know if this was some sort of promotional item, but I liked that fact that is was a piece of local history.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!! Enjoy your time with friends and family!!
