Since my last post I have returned to England to my parents home for Easter & in my spare time I have been rummaging through some of my Mums antique/thrifty pieces (trying to see what I can steal...)
She's always had an eye for pretty antique pieces & has created a good setting for them ~ our styles do vary ~ I'm a lover of a modern setting with the odd splash of vintage to add interest & mum is more traditional ~ in my opinion, both work :)
I have enjoyed playing around with my finds for photographing ~ I hope you enjoy them :)
I love love love old books, so was ecstatic to find a stack here!!
My dad made the book shelf/stand so it makes it extra special to me!
I adore this little date stand/ink well ~ and a vintage family album ...
I came across a pile of old plates which are oh so pretty...
And finally, my Grandad was a jeweller & these are his weighing scales ~ lots of the weights are missing from the box...
Messing around with Picasa!
