Blogland Slumber Party ~ Vintage Treasures


Happy Birthday Phyllis! I am thrilled to join your Blogland Slumber Party. I have my Pillow, PJs, Teddy Bears, Treats and a good story all ready ! You can join the fun at




The fun starts on March 10th. I needed to post a bit early.


So let's start with the treats !!!! I hope you like chocolate : )




and a cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate perhaps . . . .



This 1920's vintage bonnet is a beauty ! You can wear it if you want, LOL.



Some Edwardian Bloomers . . . . don't laugh too loud.




and of course my antique teddy bear!



I brought along a few extra quilts in case its really cold !

It doesn't feel like Spring yet in Canada.




So . . . . pull up your pillow and listen to a spooky story. It's true even ! I have been told by visitors to our home that the guest bedroom is . . . well . . . occupied.


. . . it can be rather spooky for some people at night.

Did you see that?

What's so scary about pink, ruffles and vintage clothing ?



Right there . . . . on the left side of the picture . . .


Looks to me like the dog can see it!

I think it looks tall and white and stands near the foot of the bed!!!



IT IS tall . . . and white . . . .and located near the foot of the bed !!!!!




It's an Edwardian Tea Dress that belonged to Sarah Alice Jackson


1854 - 1937

Do you think my guests see the Dress Form or do they see Sarah ??????

You'll have to sleep over and let me know!



Sweet Dreams !
