Finds, Friends and Frilly Things

I have lots of pretty soft, sparkly, and girly things I want to share with you today. I had the opportunity to stop by my favorite flea market this morning for some goodies! There is a lady there that works with me special on vintage jewels that may be discolored, broken, or have missing jewels. I am very happy with my stash, BUT I am a bit sad because I was hoping to get much more than this. She asked that I call her in advance before I come so she can gather stuff, BUT she is not always the best at following through. So there was a limited amount of stuff for me to go through.

I am very happy with the items I found though. I got lots of clear crystal rhinestone jewels. I also found a few pinks and blues I liked as well.

I also was pretty happy to find these cute little fabric items. I was not necessarily interested in the cream piece above at first. But the material was very pretty and the lady insisted I buy it for a very low price. So I decided to take it. The material is LOVELY on it. For what I would use it on though the stitching is a bit inhabiting. BUT for the price, I could not turn it down.

These three pieces I just LOVE! The material is so soft and pretty, and I love the trims and details. I got them to use on a petticoat skirt I am altering for Jenn's Petticoat & Parasols event in April. I have looked and looked, and finally found a petticoat I liked. It is a pretty peach color. Kimberly from Paris Rags has been so sweet to offer to come over to stay with me for a day and work on my outfit for Jenn's event. The skirt has not arrived yet, but here is a photo.Lastly at the flea market I picked up this post card. I loved this card because of how intense the colors where on it. I am not sure what I will do with it yet, but I am sure I will find something.I also wanted to share with you some of the recent treasures I have gotten recently from friends. I recently had the pleasure of meeting Elyse over at Tinkered Treasures. We decided to do a swap for a small box of treasures. I was so lucky to get not one box, but MANY adorable boxes!

She had put together for me one medium sized box with the most beautiful little things. I simply LOVED the peach lace! Also she included 6 adorable tiny boxes each with little treasures in them.

She also gave me a beautiful large piece of lace, and a darling little doll. Also when she posted about my heart box I sent her, she showed a photo of a cute little faux cake eraser that I loved. I was going to ask her where she got it, but LUCKY ME she sent me one! Thanks so much Elyse!
I also received an AMAZING box of beautiful laces from my friend Bryanna the other day. I was so BLOWN away by all the pretty treasures. I will have to do a special post just for that. BUT I did want to share with you just a little.
Also the other day I was wearing the darling little Hello Kitty necklace Bryanna sent me for Christmas and thought I needed to share that with you too. Isn't CUTE!
And then the last thing I wanted to share was the beautiful ribbon and mother of pearl buttons I bought recently. These ribbons are just BREATH TAKING!
The 4 rolled up are velvet. I just LOVE THEM! The buttons are just stunning in person too. I got 126 medium to large sized buttons.

Well, thanks so much for stopping by to look at my new pretties.
