The Tenacity of the Pink Petunia and The 600th Post Gratitude Give-Back Continues!


This pink petunia just won't give up!
It is still blooming away in it's zinc bucket outside on the deck.
Doesn't it realize that spring has sprung?
Summer has passed?
Autumn is here?
We have even had a bit of frost...
 



 But this feisty little pink petunia just won't give up!

I like her attitude!

I put a few blossoms in a quirky bed spring made into a vase.
Did you notice my little friend sitting by the bed spring?



 ...when I saw this little fellow looking up at me from the table
at the flea market...
I just had to give him a home.

 Buttons!

So, should we add some buttons to the prizes to be won in this
600th Post Gratitude Give-Back?
 

 I certainly have lots of buttons!


Yes, I think so. 
I will grab a handful of buttons out of that glass jar to add to

1. The Victorian night dress
2. The four vintage photos of Aunt Nancy
3. The rusty skeleton keys, vintage trims, rhinestones, lace collar, vintage hankie, matching pot holders and vintage rosary beads.



 You just never know what you will find in an old button jar.
(An old garter? screws? a religious medal? a magnet? an old tack?)


 And then let's add this sweet little handmade flower brooch to pin on your sweater or coat.


 Do you like vintage millinery flowers?
We will include this sweet little sprig...
 

 ...and how about a few of these pink blossoms?


 ...and finally, at least for tonight...
let's add this vintage box of mending cotton threads.
Love the soft and muted colors!


Thank you friends for all your kind comments.
Thank you for sharing all your blessings
and all that you are thankful for!

A few more days and a few more treasures to be added to this Give-Back before we are done!

I sure hope you are having a good week!
:)
