Treasures on a Blissful Whites Wednesday

Sharing with you on a Blissful Whites Wednesday
These new found treasures,
stored in my shabby chic box,
are begging to be captured with my camera.
I have learned in life
that when something tugs at my heart,
I have to purchase it right away.
I work full time again,
so shopping is often done online.
I mix treasures from France
with treasures from Ikea
I mix treasures from Etsy
with treasures from thrift and antique stores.
If it tugs at my heart.....I assume it is supposed to be mine. 
***
I hope something tugs at your heart today!

Linking up with Becky and friends

I could not agree with you more.

There is always a connection to the things I purchase AND I've learned not to wait.

It's always better to decide to sell a treasure later on than to think about one that got away!

Wonderful new images just waiting for your magic touch Rhonda.

I learnt from my mother (who is sadly no longer with us) to make a decision quickly and stick to it - I've found that to be very good advice. My heart often rules my head!!!

I've joined Blissful Whites today as well!

Åee hvor jeg forstår dig, jeg har også været på mange loppemarkeder, og de ting jeg købte har gjort mig glad, men de ting jeg undlod at købe måske fordig de var for dyre, kan jeg ikke få ud af mit hoved, jeg tænker hele tiden: jeg skulle have købt det, man er jo lidt sær. knus morkaren.

I love that box, Rhonda, and how it looks filled with all your treasures! I think that's the best mix ~ old with new, thrift store finds with new store finds.

Yes, these are meant for you Rhonda! No wonder they tug at your heart. I always try to imagine who these folks were and what they were posing for when I see vintage photos. They've found a perfect home with you. :)

I love all of your newfound old treasures. And yes, we must always jump at the chance to own a special piece of the past when it beckons us. You know, they just don't make antiques like they used to. LOL. Have a great weekend Rhonda.
