White Wednesday

Wednesday is quickly becoming my favorite day of the week ~ with all the wonderful White Wednesday posts!



My photos are of some of my "must haves" when out thrifting and junking.



White tape measures, ironstone and a dome to put them under. And, of course, some coral!



I never tire of looking at this little still~life that sits beside the couch in my family room.

    Love your "whiteness". I agree, a tape measure is a real must have when you are shopping. My only problem is when I forget to take along the paper that tells the length or height of my space! LOL

    Have a great Tuesday.

    I love the old cloth tape measures. I have been looking for those at every thrift store, flea market etc. I go to. Your photos are beautiful! Would love to have you stop by for a visit at my newly created blog (OK - It's 2 weeks old now!) I'll visit Faded Charm and check out the other White Wednesday posts.

    Funny how fabric tapes bring back memories. There was always one in every drawer you open. I don't sew but still have tapes here and there. Have a fun wednesday! x Julie

    Hi Joan
    Love your white Wednesday look. Tape measures wouldn't last long in a pile for me - one by one they would dissappear -- I have a hard time keeping track of them...but I love them piled up like that!
    Blessings

    The things that you come up with are great! I have to get out my mother's blue and white fabric measuring tape that I made off with in college! Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving a comment--I'd love to see what you do with repurposing your casters. Mine go to a blanket chest I have, but I've let the casters just sit!

    Joan,

    I was at Grayslake today and bought the 2 tiered blue metal kitchen cart from you today. Unfortunately, I FORGOT IT! Could you possibly give it to Joe and Sandy and I will try and meet them on their way home tomorrow? Could you please have Sandy call me at 708-354-4112? Thanks so much. Nancy Allodi Vintage Charm
