Five on Friday

Life is hectic at the moment, there is a lot going on and not enough hours in the day.  I have made a start visiting some blogs and catching up but not all so please bear with me I will be around soon.

My five this week are five treasures that I bought whilst visiting Renninger's at Mount Dora whilst on my holiday to Florida.  Both my husband and I love a walk around the antique centre and the street of shops and wish that we could bring some of the larger pieces back but we are content to find a little something for the craft room.

My first treasure is a old wooden box which I couldn't resist and was brought back in our hand luggage.  It was certainly worth the messing about with it in my husbands back pack.  I am going to use it to store my sewing machine bobbins.

 

What a find, I really do love it.

 

My second treasure is two ribbon holders complete with ribbons, they too were a carried back in my hand luggage wrapped up in my cardigan and survived the journey well.

 

 

Thirdly, with two new Grand babies expected I couldn't resist this vintage baby pattern book to add to my collection.  It certainly made me smile.

 

 

It is quite a thick book with lots of patterns so wonderful to browse through.  My eldest daughter will love it she is a great fan of vintage style baby clothes.

 

My fourth treasure is two stitching pattern books.  The first is Southern Roots  a representation of the heritage of the Low Country region of the South.  I found it enchanting.  The second one is Wild Animals of North America which is a real delight seeing some of the amazing wildlife.

 

 

Finally, my fifth treasure is a leaflet  and sampler depicting hearts and as it was so close to our 34th wedding anniversary which we celebrate tomorrow I thought this was a wonderful addition to my Five on Friday choices.  I fell in love with the simplicity of the patterns and loved that Christmas  examples were included.

 

 

Some amazing treasure, with some wonderful memories of a great holiday.  I am once again joining Amy over at Love Made My Home for the weekly get together.

 

See you soon.
