valentines and a whole lot more!!!

i've been busy this week creating a few things and finding treasures that i just adore and find sweet and charming.....I LOVE THIS HEART BOX!!!! wow. it is BIG (approx 13.5" across and down). the colors are true shabby pink and purple hues and the condition on this is vintage good! the rose in the center has some wearing and the lace is a bit frayed and faded, but i think that adds to the charm of this box!!! i would love to keep this in my collection, but zoey will write on it or put polly pockets and magic markers in it or something, so it must go on to a better home!!!! lol
i have given a few photos to show the inside of box and close up of rose
AWESOME VINTAGE HEART BOX.................$THIS ITEM IS SOLD
i want to ship this the cheapest way, but i'm not sure what shipping will cost yet. probably around $5.

the pendant is approx 2.5" high.

OH MY GOSH! how do i looooove these slippers??? let me count the ways! i've had these forever!! i bought them years ago and haven't the nerve to pass them on, but now i'm ready. these are closer to antique than vintage. i think they were stitched quite some time ago...possibly the 20s or before? they are a delight!!! if you love all things tattered, worn, and shabby....you will adore these sweet relics. someone made these years ago by hand and obviously wore them! they are in fair/tattered vintage condition, but they are still intact and can still be worn. i think they would look adorable stitched to a pillow top or atop a pretty stool by the bed.
the hand knotting is amazing and the bows are just pure shabby pink loveliness. these are approx size 6/7 and i've shown lots of photos so you can see the aging on these handmade delights....

love the bows and the knotting.
VINTAGE HAND QUILTED SLIPPERS with PALE PINK ROSES.....$15 plus $3 shipping.

below is a small bowl of hand rolled rag balls made by me. i used various bits of lace and tea stained cotton to make these mini rag balls! i love to find cast off wood salad bowls and paint them. this one is small....approx 6" across...and holds 5 mini rag balls held together with pins and pearls......fun addition for the bathroom or guestroom!
MINI RAG BALLS IN BOWL......................$5 plus $6 shipping

mmm good vintage ticking pillow cases!!! these are great. nice and soft, vintage, thick and comfy!!! i have so many pillow cases, i'm downsizing some. these are in good/fair vintage condition. both have been washed quite a bit, so they are a bit faded. one has a few marks and i've circled those to indicate that. zippers work on both cases......
super cute for your shabby spring makeovers!!!
VINTAGE TICKING CASES PAIR......................$this item is sold


WOW. this little hand crocheted piece is a linen lover's gem!!! i just adore it. it is a crocheted basket, but looks more like a little satchel or purse. looks great hanging on a bed post....filled with vintage mill flowers!!!! so sweet for spring's welcome!! this piece looks pretty old. it is in good vintage/antique condition. so wonderful! approx 7 inches from top to bottom and about the same across.
PRETTY CROCHETED BASKET/PURSE.................$6 plus $2 shipping

so romantic and sweet.....you will love this pretty vintage, floral skirt. it is probably from the early 50's/late 40s...made with feed sack material and rick rack. it is a full skirt, but small around the waist. equiv to about a size 4 today. this was handmade by someone and is in fair vintage condition. i washed it, but it still has some staining that makes it look tea stained in places. i think it adds to the charm!!!!! so cute this would sit on your dress form....close to the kitchen....inspiring you of days gone by.
VINTAGE HANDMADE FEEDSACK ROSES SKIRT.............$6 plus $6 shipping

i love this silk top!!!!!!!! it is just the sweetest and such a perfect shade of vintage shabby pink/peach!!! it is from the 1920s i think? small...about a size 4. there is a mark on one side where tape might have been, but the piece is intact and ready to display!!! adds a soft, feminine touch to your vintage clothing collection.....
