It was meant to be...............................................

......................and that makes it a red letter day...er....delivery day!
I received a much awaited package from my friend Sue from her Very Cherry World.
When I opened the package I was surprised with this adorable tag she made for my Easter, I love the little details and she remembered my love of flowers :)
As I pulled thru the paper I found my latest vintage find............................................
This 1960 study in floral designs of the times captured on a serving tray with coasters. How am I so certain of the year? Well, on one of our vintage hunts I found 2 American Horticultural Society Day Planners. One was 1960 and it has these photos and 7 more.  This will make a great conversation set! This is why said it was meant to be for me to get.
Here are the close-ups of these Flower Power designs.........................................................
The tray shows red and white carnations (red carnations are the Ohio state flower..another reason I had ro get this) in a Hobnail Milk Glass Compote with matching plate and a Soapstone figurine


This Mum design is still very popular, but it's the wall clock that caught my eye..if you click it it's give a better view Here's a pic a posted last year..................................
See my wall clock?  It must be the same company, but they must've done different themed peices, in different years.My clock has an eagle finial, brass filigris and a picture of Montecello. The coaster's clock has a barn scene and a rooster finial. (way cool coincidence) 

Isn't this set the neatest...oh I'm jsut so excited..these were just meant for me to find...I can't wait to do up my idea for a vintage inspired table with these.


Now I know Sue asked us to show off our Easter finery, but I haven't been able to decorate this year, so I will leave you with some Easter images for you to use..............................





Thank you Sue for letting me add these special finds to my collection and if you haven't visited Sue in her It's a Very Cherry World today would be perfect cause Wednesday is Rednesday

Your visit will be the cherry on the top of your day!
