I wrote a post in September of 2009 about my favorite things. I spotted Donna’s Favorite Things SNS Link Party, so I thought it was time for an update. Here we go…
French provincial style and slipcovers
Old doors and architectural pieces
Antique baby dresses
Blue and white and a little bling
German glass glitter
Ironstone
Black and white family photos
antique grain sacks
Scales and balances
Linens, silver, china and other hospitality pieces
Bakelite flatware
These are a few of my favorite things. How about you?

Those are a few of my favorite things too!
You and I are two of a kind. I love all the same things. I oohed and ahh-ed at every photo you shared. It's so nice to have the internet and blogs, so that we can be surrounded by likeminded people. Wouldn't it be fun to hang out together in person? : )

Love all your favorite things! Love blue and white plates, looking for an awesome scale but everyone I find is either over priced or not perfect for my mind. Have a wonderful weekend!
This time of year I love my Spode Christmas tree China., My Vintage bubble lights, and Ornaments, My Vintage Pom Pom Evergleem tree with color wheel. On and On.. I Love decorating for Christmas!!!
Thanks Mariane for your ideas and inspirations.

Love your list! I love the German glass glitter too. Also birds covered in it as well as plain white. Stars…crowns…well just about anything sparkly. Love my bling!

Question, Marian. Are those vintage photos YOUR family photos, or just black and white family photos in general? I have some of our family, and I LOVE those.
I love old books as well–especially old children's books. Thanks for sharing your lovely list!
Those were the common things my wife have at home. Whenever she does some remodeling (Minnesota-based) in our house and remodeling (Minneapolis-based) in my office, she always put a little thing that reminds of our youth. We still have our black and white wedding photo and our very first photo before we were married. I just love the way my wife keeps things and memories.
I think I have the same chandelier and it makes me very, very happy.
