Six Different Whites and Six Bragging Rights

My six different whites are split between home and shop

Three Whites from home...

I purchased this long vintage feed sack from fellow shop girl Martha with the intent of using it on my dining table.  I just wasn't lovin' it there...you know how that happens sometimes??
But I decided I was lovin' it HERE on my little ruffled love seat.  You like?
My second whites to show are these vintage photos that I've tucked into an old typewriter. This sits atop my jelly cupboard in my front hall.
My third white from home is showcasing my shabby, vintage, rusty mailbox on my front porch. It's very similar to a brown one that Sandi (aka A Cottage Muse) has for sale in the shop.  I just love the scalloped edge on the lid!


Three whites from the shop:  I actually took these pics a few weeks ago, but I still want to share them for all the Parties this week....


Look at these yummy vintage Farmer's Almanacs rolled up and tied with lace... Deb had offered these beauties~
Mary Ellen (aka Shop Owner) had this beautiful prom/wedding dress on display...



























And I loved this vignette of Sandi's...the contrasts of the whites, creams and browns were 
TRULY swoon worthy!
Ok...that's it for my six different Whites from home and shop...


Now for my Six  Bragging Rights...Since IT IS White Wednesday....and since FOUR of my six grandchildren have blonde hair...I thought they would qualify for White Wednesday showcasing! What do ya think? Well...indulge me anyway...  hee hee

The following three are sisters and brother:
Meet Emma Elizabeth (almost 7 years old)

Next I'd like to introduce Isabel Jane (5 years old)


Here is Abram Richard  (2 years old...and TODAY is his birthday in fact)

Now only one of the three grandchildren below have blonde hair...but I knew you wouldn't deny me the privilege of showing them ALL off.  These sweetie pies live in Florida so I don't have as many single pics of each of them...but I LOVE this one of them all together. Two brothers and one sweet sister.



Caleb James  is the cutie with the blonde hair (almost 4 years old)
Dustin Daniel is the doll in the middle (almost 2 years old)
Emily Grace is the beauty on the end (almost 7 years old)

I will be going to Florida this summer to visit them...can hardly wait!

Hope you've enjoyed my "whites" this time around.

The blondes are my favorite. My children were both blonde. My daughter is blessed to still have that color that is to die for that you can't get from a bottle even now at 30. The crusty white mailbox is to die for. Can I purchase it???? Love it!
