I found this beauty back in March at a local Salvation Army Thrift Store. She needs a bit of work (the platen seems to be stuck), but I'm sure I can get her back into working condition. The base of the typewriter forms the bottom of the carrying case.
There's nothing like an old writing machine like this to motivate me to continue editing my Great American Novel!

Timeworn Delight: Hand-painted Pink Rose Wall Plaque
This one was part of a series of three that I spotted at a thrift store; however, the rose one stole my heart and I came home with it.

Tea Cups & Chopstick Rest
Featured today is a grouping of thrifted tea cups and a chopstick rest that my sisters, niece, and I found during their San Diego visit at the beginning of June. Total eye candy and great additions to our tea table!

Handpainted Hutschenreuther Dessert Plate
My youngest sister and my niece were visiting for a week at the beginning of June, and we did lots of antiquing and thrifting while they were in town.
One of my favorite finds is this handpainted Hutschenreuther dessert plate--I love the pastels and the visible brush strokes.
I'll be posting more treasures over the next few days.

Collage of Tea Cups and Saucers
My collection of tea cups and saucers is constantly growing. This collage represents one afternoon's harvest from a local thrift store--orphan tea cups and saucers. No matched sets were found that day, yet somehow they all work together. There's even a saucer commemorating Queen Elizabeth's 1953 coronation!
I totally embrace this aspect of shabby chic living, especially when it comes to items for my tea table.
