The sign caught my eye as I was heading to the gym last Saturday morning. OK, I thought…I’ll check it out on my way back home, as you know I can’t pass up a sign like that. I drove up and parked, got out and went in the house. It was obviously owned by some older people. Most everything was old and shabby looking and not in a good way. I didn’t see much of anything that caught my eye, except this cute soup tureen for $2. I needed that for my creamware collection. This is my first soup tureen and after seeing some of your collections of tureens out there, I would say this won’t be my last, if I’m lucky enough to find more.Maybe I can serve soup in this one day.
And then I spotted this pair of pictures in a back bedroom. I absolutely do not need them, but the colors called out to me & I had to take them home. They were $4 each.

Hi Rhoda – I have a soup tureen that looks almost identicle. FUN. I love, love, love the new pictures in your kitchen.
WOO HOO Rhoda!
I frequent your blog…like 4 or more times a week but I usually don’t leave comments…but today I had to.
Those pictures are so great!!! I have a couple of prints that I have been debating on whether or not to paint the frames black. I was thinking about it this morning as a matter of fact. After seeing how fantastic your floral prints now look I am sold.
I love when you post on your finds and how you add your personal touches to them. Keep ’em coming. I am loving it.

Love these finds! I love the floral pictures. With vintage it’s great how what is old is new again.

Hi, Just found your blog. I am an artist living in New Bern N.C. By the way, I live around the corner from Nickolas Sparks. He jogs through our neighborhood daily. I can’t say he is very friendly though. Anyway, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed my visit.
Rhoda, Love the flowers and how much better they look with the frame black. Love the soup toureen too, you find the best things and I can’t wait for yard sale season to begin too.
I have found your blog through My One World – One Heart Giveaway and wanted to invite you to visit my blog.
I am having a give away of an original pen and ink drawing for my One World-One Heart Give Away
Adore the finds. Like how you painted the frames black, makes the painting really POP.
Hi Rhoda!
I’d love to hear your plan and schedule for homekeeping – your house always looks so clean and perfect in the pictures – how do you find the time?!
Warmly,
Amy
Hi Rhoda,
What marvelous finds! the pair of pictures look fabulous where you put them!
Thank you for sharing!
xoxo~
Rhoda, the soup tureen is really nice, but I love the flower prints. They remind me of some barkcloth curtains my mother had in the 50’s. They look really nice where you hung them.
Wonder finds — especially the soup tureen. The two framed pieces work really well with the black frames.
You’re gonna think I’m nuts….I had a dream about this tureen. I dreamt I was in a thrift shop & spotted a beautiful tureen, I went to get it & someone had just picked it up! I was so disappointed! Now I’m visiting Southern Hospitality & there it is! Great finds!
🙂 Hugs, DebraK
Love, love, love those pictures! I can see why you snapped them up. And they look perfect in the spot you hung them.
Hugs!
