My favorite vintage suitcases. (The 2 on the bottom were given to my grandma for her high school graduation in 1939). I use them to store photos and books.
This little enamelware cup is a wonderful treasure holder.
My favorite *free* treasure. This perfectly worn suitcase was just sitting in a free pile calling my name. I keep my extra candles in it.
William Morris said, "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful". I love it.
In my house, if it is beautiful it also has to be useful.I pray that you all had a wonderful Thursday. We have had such a busy week and I am still promising the unveiling of all the handmade-with-love-gifts.
On another note, we are celebrating our decision to begin homeschooling. It is a long time prayer that has been answered. Praise God.
Have a restful night and productive day tomorrow, In God's Love, Tami
