I added some more things to this shelf. I store dishtowels, napkins,etc. in the vintage gym basket at the bottom. The little red chippy paint stove is a favorite thing of mine. Lovingly handmade by someone, although I have no idea who :)
My comfort zone...this bedstead is over 100 years old. At a time when things were made to last!
No cheap " made in China " junk back in those days.
Thrift find for .25 cents, a beautiful butterfly pieced pillow case,all I had to do was stuff it.
Crocheting dish/washcloths...this one is so soft..I will use it as a washcloth.
Cottage Style...a .49 cent find from GW ! Not bad for a book with a $19.99 retail value.
It has some great decorating ideas within its pages.
Dolls in my bedroom.

Hey, I was born in 1959 too! I had one of those early Barbies when I was little and kept it long enough that my girls played with her! I love that cute butterfly pillow. Great thrifty finds! Have a wonderful day.
It was fun Shelley.
I will never forget my first Barbie doll I got for Christmas.

Hi Shelley..first thank you for stopping by.
No..the dolls came one by one from artists on ebay.
It looks like you have been doing the same thing I have. Fluffing the pillows. Certainly less expensive than shopping at stores!:)
I love your country look. I have NO idea what my style is. Mish mash of this and that. Just a bunch of things I really like a lot. Most ends up with daughters.
I had a few Barbies but they ended up with my little great granddaughter who cares for them better than I ever could.
And by the way..my precious daughter Sandra that just passed away in February was born April 5, 1959. What a wonderful year that was for beautiful baby girls!
Oh I really like the pillow...so lovely :) Thank you for stopping by the cottage Shelley... m.
That stove is adorable! It's always fun to get a glimpse of your sweet home. Have a nice week! Twyla
Thank you, Shelley, for inviting us in to enjoy your home with you! I always have fun seeing your sweet collection of goodies!
And that little stove really is the sweetest!
Love to you,
Lily
I never had a Barbie...but my daughters had them. I love the one you bought...quite a deal!
Your little shelf looks so sweet. The stove is sweet and I love the little scottie dog. So cute!
Thanks for sharing all these little peeks. That Cottage Style book was a super find. Love GW!!
Wow, love your bedstead, Shelley! ♥
I love it ALL~~~ The stove ...the bed post... the pillow.. wow..the dolls , Just everything..
What a great find on the book, I love decorating books. I read them over and over.
YOur shelf is looking great..
I really like that gym basket. It sure brings back memories of high school. I could use a bunch of those to organize my pantry. HA! Your crochet washcloth looks really nice!
I love seeing all the special things that make your house a home.
Shelley, the only Barbie doll in my doll collection is the same as yours--but out of the box!
Vintage and antique...recycling...all things that are part of our lives here, too. There is value in almost everything but we don't always recognize it.
