We were after this lovely vase designed by Hella Jongerius, so we went to IKEA. It was very crowded because it was Sunday.
We brought home bed sheets and a throw.
Also a rug.
Saturday was estate sales and garage sales.
I bought pretty bottles for summer and a cake plate to replace the one that’s gone missing at our house.
Also this book
Owned by a romantic soul once I think.
I found this lovely planter at a thrift store.
Such a sweet pair.
This is $12.00 worth of spring flowers from my favorite booth at the farmer’s market.

I bought 4 bouquets of flowers for my mother-in-law this Easter, and then stole one flower from each to shoot pictures in new vases I had bought.
I found these white ones at a garage sale yesterday. The woman considered them a long time before charging me $1.00. The little black one is from my mother-in-law’s collection of amethyst and black glass. I think it is a candy dish. 
The one in the front is my favorite.
It is my son’s Birthday today but we celebrated yesterday.
I am very proud of these packages. They made me feel like I was in Little House on the Prairie; wrapped in vintage fabrics and tied with old calico ribbons.
I do not have the best wrapping skills, but I do have good ideas sometimes.
These are all filled with vintage Stig Lindberg items. Really.
I like this handmade green planter with its pineapple angles and moody green glaze. A different garage sale.
Wanda Gag; a revelation.
A new painting for my folk art collection. This is also carved.
Also these embroidered sun bonnet sues by a talented seamstress. I wish she had finished this quilt..
Sometimes embroideries are interesting even unfinished.
I found this lovely book for my paperback collection at an early garage sale.

Those bird houses were only $3.00.
