Is there anything better than French Lilacs? I think not.

I am thinking of the lilac-trees,

That shook their purple plumes,

And when the sash was open,

Shed fragrance through the room.

Sweet 16!

Spring Giveaway

I know it's still February but the sun was out today so I'm calling it Spring. In celebration, I am offering a pair of my handmade earrings for a little treat! Here's the deal: Check out my post about my new OLD green cart here. Leave a comment (by Friday 2/27) on what you think the cart was originally used for. Whichever answer tickles my fancy will win the earrings ~ which are made with vintage beads ~ by yours truly, One Gal's Trash.

Lucky Friday

My friend Gail and I tried to go to an estate sale on Friday. She thought it was on 133rd and Stark. Turns out it was on 143rd and Pine and it started SATURDAY. Oh well, there's got to be a thrift store around here somewhere....Bingo! Look what I got! Spring!

Who doesn't need glittery, plastic grapes for a quarter?

The creme de la creme: a vintage room deodorizer with pink satin, lace and a flower arrangement in a thimble. Be still my foolish heart!
