I only had time for one sale this weekend and it was the second day, but you never know. There was just one treasure to be had but so sweet it made the short drive over there worthwhile. At first I thought it was a lace hankie and I think the gals in charge of the sale might have thought so, too. When I got it home and examined it I realized it was a beautiful little Christening cap.
It was nestled on a pretty paper lace doily in its original box. Those of you who are local will recognize where it came from Meier and Frank was an iconic Portland department store until just a few years ago when Macy's swooped in and gobbled it up. Gosh, I miss that store!
I have been outside cutting down crispy ferns this afternoon. Everything is so desperately dry I figure I don't need to waste water on those guys. Trust me, someday the ferns will inherit the earth.

Imagining the sweet little head that cap was intended for - very pretty!
ditto on those ferns...and how I wish for a rainy day! Glad you found time for one sale and were rewarded.
And here I thought the vines were going to inherit the earth!
That is a precious little cap. At least you didn't come home empty handed.
Such a sweet and precious find! xo Heather
Such a sweet find. Love the lace doily inside the box, too.
That's just the sweetest little thing and you know it was waiting for you to rescue it.
I take it your yard is covered with ferns:-)
That is for sure about the ferns! What a delicious little salvage you made!
