Vikki's Beautifulness Treasures

Vikki is affectionately referred to as "eagle eye" by her friends. She has a knack for spotting treasures.
She sent me these pictures, along with permission to post, of her latest finds from the Tree Street Sale last week-end. She will, no doubt, turn these treasures into more treasures of beautiful angels, pillows and other precious crafts that will be available for sale at Lady Bug Cottage and the Apple Festival.
Vikki wrote:
"I came home and set all of my new treasures out on the kitchen table. Todd walked in and called it "junk" then Olivia asked with big eyes, "Why is the kitchen full of beautifulness? I just love how children think!"
