~little brown bottle~

do you ever buy things just for the container?

that's how it was with this beauty

love at first sight i tell ya!

i don't even particularly LIKE brown

but i love how vintagey this brown glass bottle looks

and i know i'll continue to use it when it's done

wouldn't it make an awesome vase

the soap smells pretty good too - papaya and ginseng

now in my fantasy this sits in the guest bathroom with sunlight gleaming through...

in reality it is streaked with soap and fingerprints...

but here, here it has it's own moment

(how do you like my little sheep, you didn't know i used to be a primitive gal, now did ya)

don't you just love the variety of soaps we can get nowadays

i do like bath and body works, but we're taking a break from the anti-bacterials for a while

just as little too harsh on the skin during our cold winter

and it's kinda fun to search out these one of a kinds

(do you US gals have ANY idea how we Canadian gals support your economy!!)

anyway, back to reality, gotta put the soap back where it belongs!!

vintage picnic goodies

i promised I'd show you some of my other vintage treasures gathered over the last few weeks

so here is my little vintage picnic I put together

come take a look with me...

vintage metal picnic basket, all rusty on the top, such neat handles

with a buttercup yellow apron tucked inside...

and see my kodak brownie camera, passed one of these up a couple months ago and vowed not to pass up the next one up I came across!

 

vintage red checked thermos, in great condition

and what picnic would be complete without a bowl of fresh sweet strawberries

in one of my favorite vintage china bowls, I paid 25c for it because it has a chip, but I just love the color so much

all laid out on an old coffee sack, with a jar of friendly nasturtiums

happy picnic days,
