The Only Way I'll Ever Get To France ~

...IS THRU A THRIFT STORE...


The above picture has nothing to do with FRANCE...
but it was a beautiful sky the day I went THRIFTING
and as I was walking into ♫ Goodwill ♪♪, I took this photo.

That cloud looks ALmost ghosty....
*

This little adorable snow white, lidded and with handles SUGAR BOWL
got so excited when she saw ME, knowing that I not only COLLECT
little lidded, handled, white SUGAR BOWLS,  but LOVE them to the moon and back.
 

Look at all her fancy curls and q's....
She costs just barely over $1.


I couldn't understand a word she was saying to me..
she is from FRANCE, don't you see !


The  pretty little bottle  keeping her company
couldn't speak a word of English either as
HE is from France, too.  
He was purchased at a different part of FRANCE, you see...;>)
  a few weeks back
but they look so cute together. 
 

I wouldn't care if they married and had some  little
snow white, lidded, handled sugar bowls
and tall, straight little bottles.....
 


...especially if they all had curls and q's and hand painted flowers.....



I've since added my mama's art paint brushes to the little French bottle..
on a shelf with a photo of us and a basket with her vintage prayer books. 
♥♥♥
I hear a rustling in the living room...somewhere around the hutch that is home to a lot of my white ironstone...I've a feeling all the other little sugar bowls are wanting
equal time on this Sweet Nothings blog so....I'll line them up and let them strut their stuff so when they come on to  YOUR COMPUTER SCREEN , will you kindly give them .....a standing ovation and blow some kisses their way..??
Awww, I knew you would...that's why I love ya so much.
xoxo

  1. What a great score, BJ!! Very pretty. You need someone French to decipher what is written on the bottle!

    Can't wait to see your sugar bowl collection!

  25. Oh, BJ, those are the sweetest frenchies. I have a Limoge sugar bowl that looks almost like yours. I love the way your mother's brushes look in the setting, almost like they could pop out and leave you a little french bistro canvas for morning. I would certainly give that a standing ovation..Happy Sunday..Judy

  27. If I spotted those in a thrift store at the same time as you, I think we would have had an arm wrestling match going on. Great scores!

  30. oh bj ... just love your story ... your little white sugar and skinny bottle. Your Mom's artist brushes look really nice in the bottle. I guess this is one way to make people believe you have been to France. We can dream, can't we.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
