Tuesdays Treasures and a surprise for me!

Can you believe the color of this twin bed?!!!!
It is perfect just the way it is.  I don't need a bed of any kind. I really have nowhere to put it.  But for $5.00 I couldn't pass it by.  It has the original old wooden wheels with the side rails and the slats.  I see it all made up with white ruffles and lots of shabby.
Our booth is not big enough to set it up. Maybe I will save it for a show we might do in the fall.

This is the sweetest old gravy boat.

It has a couple little chips but that doesn't bother me at all.


See the pretty handle

I will keep this for a while.

A couple of old school bells and another blue ball jar.  They are common but I think they are so pretty.

I have been waiting for this..Can you guess what it is?
A hint....it's a book.

Romantic Prairie Style!

by the fabulous Fifi O'Neill!

I have not even looked at it yet and I'm letting you have a peek.

Only a couple pages.  You can guess what I'm doing tonight with a glass of wine!
Can't wait.
I'm sure it's wonderful.
Hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday!
Thanks for visiting me. I really do appreciate you!
I'm linking this with Tuesday's Treasures by My Uncommon Slice of Suburbia.
This is my first time so I need to go do some visiting.
