White Wednesday

I did some "junkin" over the week-end. Finally.... a sunny day and some time to hit some local yard sales. 
Yippee! here's a look at some of my "white" finds....

Not sure what this is...a floral sculpture i guess...


...it's made of clay and looks like it used to have something adhered to the center of it....


...i have plans for this piece. Can't wait!


Oodles of creamy buttons, vintage keys.... 

....and a tres beau "corsett hook" (merci to Marie for letting me know what this is!)Love the fleur-de-lys!

Found a box of new "old stock" refill pages for a 1948 calendar!



The pages for the entire year were in the box and in mint condition!
