Joanne recently asked about the tin containing all those wonderful buttons I found at the flea market. The tin was actually found a couple months ago at the thrift store for a dollar and has been sitting empty waiting to be put to use. After coming home with the buttons, which were in a couple jars, I knew the tin would be the perfect container.
On the bottom of the tin is printed Made in England Container. You can see it is well worn around the knob. Joanne, I hope you read this and let me know if yours is the same...
While Mike and I were on our way home from the feed store, we stopped off at a couple of yard sales. I found this little doll quilt for $2. I've washed it and hung it to dry...not a great picture, so I'll try for a better one later...
And guess what, I mean 'who', came home with me as well, free to a good home...
Have a good weekend friends.
The kitten is a cutey!! That is a great tin! I think the doll quilt is so pretty. I love the simple square patch design.
ReplyDeleteOoohhh, the kitten is precious!
ReplyDeleteI made a quilt similar to yours when I was just learning to sew. Seeing it brought back great memories.
I don't comment often, but I enjoy reading your posts very much. You have a lovely blog, and a beautiful home.
We are hoping to find something similar when we move. I would love to have chickens!
a new Furry Baby! Congratulations :)
ReplyDeleteGosh, could you possible come up with three things more likely to appeal to those who read your blog?! A wonderful thrift find, a small quilt, and the cutest kitten in the world. I'm not sure which I like best! LOL!
ReplyDeleteOooh..what a sweet kitty!!
ReplyDeleteThe doll quilt is wonderful as is the tin!!

The tin box looks so interesting and special. I have never seen something like that before, the ornaments are quite unusual don`t you think? Like you said, it fits perfectly for your new old vintage buttons :) The Little doll Quilt is also very pretty, lovely finds Deb!! Tonight i also will post a new post abot my flea market finds, curious? Hehe...enjoy rest of your Sunday Deb!

serThe tin looks like it was made just for your buttons. The doll quilt was a buy. How I wish I could find good things like that. And to top it all off was the precious kitty.
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a great weekend.

what a cute little doll quilt!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that tin! I used to collect tins and that would have been one I'd have snatched up in a jiffy. And your "who" you brought home is so adorable! Can't wait to hear her (his?) name.
ReplyDeleteLovely things you have here
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty baby! Have you decided on a name yet?
ReplyDeleteOh, so glad that I popped in today! Thank you for taking some closeups of the tin. Mine is very similar but has a flat surface/lid. It has the same embossing and colouring!
ReplyDeleteI know it is very old, so cherish it!
Great find! Lovely quilt and adorable kitty!
Thanks for sharing!

A quilt AND a kitten? A good day indeed.
ReplyDeleteThe kitten... darling.
ReplyDeleteThe quilt... precious.
The tin... fabulous!
Lots of goodies here.
ReplyDeleteThat is one large vegetable garden, do you not get damage - I'm thinking deer or rabbits etc? My sisters plot has been ruined by bunnies this year eating her out of house and home and digging everything up.
Sweet kitty - what are you going to call her?
