A Few More Treasures

I thought I'd share some of the other treasures I found last week while down visiting my brother. I can't wait to go back again. Gotta save my pennies, so I can bring home the adorable sock elephant I found and so much more!



Here's the rest of the loot I brought home. My favorite is the repro china head doll that I've named Josianne. I just love that name and I think it fits her. Miss Joisanne needs a new dress desperately as you can see by her scanty outfit she came in. (Oh and yes--that peach color is the color of our bedroom and the bathroom and the hallway--one of these days I would love to change it and no I'm not the one who painted it that color. LOL! ).


A little bit closer view of Josianne.....



......also found the cute little plastic jewlery box, a china hand for my hand collection and a pretty little doily with pink and white roses that I need to work on blocking....and I love Josianne's little pudgey legs!......


......a pink dresser box, pink rose teacup and a pink heart pincushion. I love these heart pincushions and have about 5 or 6 from very small to this larger one. I need oh about 50 or so more for my collection before it's complete. ;) ......



.....now this little piece I found a while back and hadn't shared it yet and my sister Rhonda wanted to see it. It's a little perfume bottle I had in the early 60's when I was about 5 years old and my mother was an Avon Lady----Ding Dong Avon Calling!--Anyone remember that! .......



.....then I found this beautiful blue and white platter. It fits perfectly with all of my other old mis-matched china pieces......



....last but not least is this adorable little Raggedy Ann & Andy book tote given to me by my sweet neice Melissa. She knows I love Raggedy Ann & Andy, so she knew I'd love this and I do.

I would say in the past few weeks I've definitely been well blessed with new found treasures!
