Found me another White Ironstone soup tureen and this one even has the Ladle with it...Is it not Pretty....
The inside of it....Now to all my gals that follow my silly little blog ramblings all the time...have told me about all the Ironstone I have been finding and they wished they could...So guys I don't want you to think I am an Ironstone pig...And I have not had a give away since my 100 followers and I'm almost at 150 now...I have decided that this Piece should go to a good home...So everyone that would like this sweet thing just leave me a comment about it and I will have Mr. Random thingy pick a number on Wednesday night... And I will announce the winner on my Tablescape Thursday Post...get it packed up and send it to the winner...Good Luck to who ever gets it...Hey its time I shared the Ironstone wealth here ha ha!!
Now this piece I just loved for my Barber Shop Bathroom...it's for Combs...thought it would look cute with my other MANLY things I have in there...
Now girls my ole heart skipped a beat when I found these wonderful high top shoes from Ca. 1880...these are made from Kid Glove leather and Satin...I bet these were Ball room shoes...wished I could have found the dress the went with them at one time....
Just look at these lovely heels...Oh girls I was afraid to even ask the price...I seen these type before and the were always over a $100.00 well I picked them up turn them over and the sticker said $45.00 ....I just said OH!!...the guy said I can go down to $40.00 for you...Girls I pulled those 2 twenties out of my fanny pack so fast even the moths didn't have time to take flight....Oh can you love an Old pair of Shoes...You bet your laces you can....If they would have fit I would have put them on and done my Irish Jig right then and there....
Now I was so Happy after the soup tureen and shoes....but then I hear something else just SCREAMING very loud GLORIA Over here...I am looking all around...all I see is from furniture...thinking I know that not SCREAMING my name I couldn't put another piece of furniture in this house...even a Child chair could not find a place to sit here...Oh girls I rounded this dresser and here what SCREAM at me....I kid you not I heard Angels even playing harps for me my ole heart was pumping so hard...I found this Beautiful Bedspread from 1930 all satin with Chantilly lace....Is it not pretty...It came with the pillow sham's double size which my bed just happen to be....This a an Art Deco Spread...its all lined very heavy...
Just look at the shams...the lace is lovely...
Just love the Flocked pleating on the sides...
Box pleat corners....sighs
Now this is a Curtain Valance that matches the bed spread.....
Just as lovely as the spread...
Also all lined...Now my head board is 9 ft tall on my bed and my ceilings are 10 ft....So I want to hang this from the ceiling behind my bed with sheer panels to give it more of a Victorian look....
Here's my head board...so what do you think.....Now I paid $100.00 for this whole set...I couldn't even buy a bed in a bag for price...And I love that I got an old one so fitting for my old bed...Now I know some of you are thinking PINK...but girls I do love my Pink Bedroom...and Len doesn't care what color it is so long as he has a bed and clean sheets...and besides said he can't see in when he in there as he asleep...ha ha!! Of course it also helps that Len is color blind...
Hope all of you have a great Monday...Thank you guys for being one of my followers your the best...Good luck with Mr. Random Thingy on the Ironstone...
And don't forget Marty at a "Stroll Thru Life" is having a cloches Party on June 19th and she will have up her post on the 18th at 8 pm
so Please lets try and join in this fun day and hook up with Mr. Linky...
Now Thanks for all your prayers again for Baby Kyra...Again that little fighter came through yet another surgery...heard her today just a giggling and laughing...
Hugs and Smiles Gl♥ria

Woman you are AMAZING!!! The soup tureen is so sweet, I WANT IT!! Just fill her up with my reindeer moss and stick it in the mail, I won't tell a soul!! LOL! The boots, oh my, precious, the spread and shams, GORGEOUS and Soooo you sweetie! You sure hit the motherload this weekend!! Did you get my email with address?? Have a great week sweetie!! xoxoxo
LOL Gloria, you always make me laugh, girlfriend! You are sooo funny! I love your ironstone tureen...I'm am just so amazed at the goodies you find each month! What a beautiful bed set...perfect for that gorgeous bed of yours! Those shoes were amazing...I can't even imagine having feet that skinny! Just imagine the dress that went with them! Love going shopping with you! Susan
Gloria, you found some wonderful things. That bed set is just amazing in and of itself.
Please enter me in your beautiful giveaway....I am crossing my fingers,I love ironstone!
So you are lucky enough to have a color blind husband, too? Makes things much easier...they can never argue about what color we're using!
When you said you pulled 2 twenties out of your fanny --- I nearly fainted until I saw the word "pack" and put them together... fanny PACK. Oh. Yeah.
that is an amazing haul from that swap meet, Ma'am. Gorgeous tureen!!! And that bedspread and shams? How amazing to find something of that age, in such excellent condition. It must have been very much cherished by previous owners.
GREAT STUFF....Cass
What beautiful finds! I had a bedspread that was similar when I had my first apartment though not the same color, I sure do wish I had it still. I don't think my husband would go for the pink though he is pretty easy going about things.
Hope all is well for you.
Betty
Hi..I'm new here,just came over from Pickets Place, and love your blog. Your "new" bedspread is just beautiful, and looks perfect with your beautiful bed!! I also love the tureen, blue and white are the colors in my kitchen, and I don't have a soup tureen, sign me up please!! Happy to have found you!! Delaine
Gloria!! What amazingly wonderful things you found!!! I've just had the best time catching up with you!
I love everything you found, especially that tureen. It's gorgeous!
You are kidding me! OMGOSH! That spread/shams are gorgeous! LOVIN' it all!
The shoes are 2die4...can you believe how thin and tiny they are shaped? We all spend too much time now a days in flip flops to ever fit into such things...
BEAUTIFUL FINDS. I'm jealous!

Oh wow, Gloria, I am totally blown away by that spread. It is just too beautiful for words, and I cannot wait to see what the valance and maybe some sheers or lace panels look like behind the headboard!
As for the ironstone, if I by any chance win it, it would be my very first piece of ironstone. How cool would that be?
Justine :o )
Dear Gloria,
MY HEART just about stopped when I saw your soup tureen and then I almost fell out of the chair when I read you were giving it away.
oh my gosh........I am clinging to your leg as you drag me across the floor trying to pry me off your leg.....oh, it is soooo very beautiful and how I would cherish it....it would be coming to a home that truly dreamed of owning one.
your other finds are just beautiful and I love them
how is your great grandbaby.....Jeremiah Lucas doing....I hope I remembered his name right and baby kyra
Gloria you are such a blessing and girl you just know I need, want, and desire that beautiful soup tureen and bless you for being so generous.
hugs and love
debbie
may mr. generator or whatever his name is smile on me wednesday...I'm not above begging and pleading...lol
I just skated out of Busy's room from making her bed...nearly broke my neck on the "icy" carpet...just in time to see you comment! I wish you were closer so we could "play"!
You certainly know your way around a bargain sale.
Hi Gloria,
OOOH honey, you got some great deals! Beautiful candy and that bedspread is gorgeous!
I haven't forgot about doing the Gloria(couch) post...I will do it soon! ;)
Hope you have a wonderful week! Nancy
I'm loving everything, the bedspread the headboard. Wow a lot of great things. The granny boots are something else, I have a few pairs I actually wear with my long skirts.
Hugs-
Oh Gloria... I am drooling over the keyboard.. What treasures you found. The bedding is out of this world to die for GORGEOUS!!! Oh sorry didn't mean to shout, but man alive prrreeeettttyyyyy just didn't say it you know? The shoes are amazing.! Now the white ironstone would go well with a few pieces around here. I don't have near what you have, so I do have room for a piece of ironstone..lol
I'm so glad to hear baby Kyra is doing well... she is such a gift..
many hugs ~lynne~
More fabulous treasures at Gloria's place! That bedspread looks as if it was never even used!
