Hey and welcome everyone! I hope everbody is off to a great start this year. The new year for me usually begins with some nesting around the house and scouting out new ways to freshen things up and change things a bit....I usually want the rooms lighter and brighter this time of the year....I've already started looking forward to spring even though the temps are freezing lol! That's just me. I wanted to show you my little garden gate today....
Regular readers of my blog may remember when I found this last year.........
I made this "Forget Me Not" one....from one of my old postcards....
I almost didn't pick this little gate up....because I didn't know where I'd put it at the time...but I'm glad I brought it on home with me. I knew I'd find a use for it later and sure enough....it's great to display my hankies and little plaques on in my reading room. I think it'll work. What do ya think?
I think that nesting around the house is one of the little joys in life and a fun way to start off the New Year....don't you? Happy nesting to you fellow nesters :)
Thanks for stopping by for a visit today....hope you have a wonderful week!
Big Hugs,
Queenie

What a beautiful display. I just love vintage hankies and the gate is awesome! I'm visiting from Savvy Southern Style's linky party.

Your display is just lovely. That gate is just divine. I'm smitten with the whole display.
Awesome New Year to you Queenie girl! :)
Your gate is so sweet! The possibilities are endless! I bet you're so glad you don't have any thrifters remorse over that one. I have a trelis I'm wanting to fix up for display. So many projects...
Happy nesting! ♥
My nesting ended today :-( Back to routine. I sure enjoy end of year - hubby takes off work and my son is out of school, we sleep late...
I love your garden gate - how lovely! I saw a pic on pinterest of an old rusty vintage oven rack that someone used to hang on the wall and attach pretties with embellished clothespins - so cute!
Happy New Year!!! I totally LOVE your garden gate--it is adorable~and a perfect spot for all your treasures!!

Oh I love your garden gate and you have added such loveliness to it, well done! Thank you for visiting my blog and the sweet comments on my spring mantel. Lets pray that spring comes early this year so we can all get our hands dirty.
Beautiful vignette. I love that gate and the hankies...perfect.

So very pretty! I used vintage hankies at my wedding and I just love them. You have a great collection of them! :)
Hi Queenie, the gate alone is so cute. Adorned with all of your vintage treasures it's adorable. Love the hankies. Reminds me so much of my sweet mother. The close up one looks just like one she use to have. I do have some of them and have thought I should make them into pillows or something special. Haven't done it yet though. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, what a great find, love the gate and only a $1.00, amazing!
What a fun way to display your special things, so many possibilities!
Thanks for visiting!

I think you were smart in buying the gate. You are using it in a perfect way. I have several vintage hankies. In fact, I have one exactly like the one with the purple flowers.
Love the gate and the hankies are wonderful! The perfect vintage touch!
Ruth
That is a very pretty garden gate. I love anything scrolly and iron and this one fits right in. Love how you used it to display your lovely hankies....Christine
Oh, I just love your gate, so charming and so perfect for your collection!
Happy VTT,
Sally
Queenie, you had great judgement when you bought this treasure. I love what you did with it.
XO, Jeanne
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Happy New Year!

What a great idea. I wish I had thought of that, but since I didn't I may have to borrow it. Your gate is sweet.
Hi Queenie! Your little gate is beautiful and I'm so glad you bought it! You made it look so pretty with just the perfect accessories. Wishing you all the best in the new year! Twyla
Lovely! What a great way of showing off some little bits and pieces!
Liz @ Shortbread & Ginger
A piece like that has so much potential. You could display greeting cards on it that you receive through out the year. I hate to just toss them or put in a pile. Display them instead. Love your old hankies too. xo
What a lovely collection of vintage hankies and plaques you have! They look wonderful displayed on your fab garden gate! Happy New Year! xo
It's gorgeous! Love how it shows off all your pretty treasures. Thanks for linking this post to Share the Love Wednesday; hope you'll be back this week!

Sherry
What a nice display idea! I am also a hankie collector- there are never enough ways to show them off!
Vrey pretty, Queenie. I want one just like it!..Christine
Hi, I wish I could find something like that around here!!! It's super cute with all your decor on it.
