On Sunday I met up with Kelly. You remember Kelly ~ the one that gave me five boxes of linens? She said she had a couple of lamps for me. Let me tell you one of the great things about having a blog is that people sure do get a feel for what it is you like.
That sounded a little greedier than I meant it to.
Anyway – I got there and she, in typical fashion, had way more than a couple of lamps for me. I left with four paper grocery sacks full of stuff and a hand-hooked rug.
Why can't I crochet like that? Why can't I crochet at all?
I left there with linens, frames, plates, lamps, a clock, a rug, vintage millinery and lace.
Isn't this clock lovely? I think it used to belong to Marie Antoinette. Okay maybe not, but she would have loved it.
Last night I had a bunch of bits of lace and crocheted doilies soaking in the bathroom sink and my oldest son came home with a friend and then came to me, rather horrified, asking what was in the bathroom. I think he thought it was my underwear or something. I had to show him they were doilies. He was not convinced.
I started laughing so hard at your last paragraph that I nearly choked on a piece of candy!
Those are gorgeous! I really love that lamp! It’s sorta like the one I had on my blog a few days ago!
that lamp is LOVE
That is so kind of your friend. What lovely treasures, I love the clock. I can just imagine the horror on your son’s face with the bathroom full of lacy things. 😉

Great score! How lucky you are. With 7 girls and one boy all has been fair game in the bathroom sink over the years – if you know what I mean! 🙂 ~Kelly
My mom has a doily very similar to this one. I have always loved it. I keep hoping we’ll find a pattern so Julianne can make me one.
You have a very kind and generous friend. Your son may not have thought so last night, though. 😉
How beautiful! I am GREEN with envy.
Such lovely treasures.
Lucky, lucky girl! These things are beautiful! I about died laughing over your sons reaction:>)
With a daughter named Kelly, I would have been partial to your friend Kelly even before she gifted you with such treasure, but since she has been very generous to you…I appreciate her even more. She is dear. Now, hug her enthusiastically, and let her know she is. (I bet you did!) And, you, my dear……I love that you appreciate all these wonderful things. Pat
