When I found this old wooden carrier at the antique store, it was dark brown. So, I bought it, painted it, distressed it and loaded it with a few of my favorite things...
...transferware...
...a mossy bird's nest...
...a silver baby spoon and a lemon fork...
...a Staffordshire ware Spaniel...
...and old books, tied up with string.
What are a few of your favorite things?
Let go party with:
A Stroll Thru Life for Table Top Tuesday,
Coastal Charm for Nifty Thrifty Tuesday,
Savvy Southern Style for Wow Us Wednesday,
Ivy and Elephants for What's It Wednesday

What a wonderful display you made! I am sure your glad you brought it home and did a redo on it.
My favorite thing is pinning stuff I love from other people with more talent than I and then trying to do something even remotely as lovely.
So that's exactly what I just did.
I really love the way this looks.
Ohhhhhh ... I love Staffordshire! Your arrangement is just beautiful.
Babs, your vignette is just perfect! And I think I would have to choose a lot of these things as my favorite things too!
Oh how I love me a decked out tool caddy! Love the transferware and all the wonderful goodies!!
Love the silver ware in it. I have an old dirty looking plumbers tool box and Joe will sling a fit if I paint it. So I am not cause Joe is a prize. Yours is terrific white.
Your box is gorgeous. I love the white color and the vignette is stunning. Fabulous. Your transferware plate and the dog are beautiful. Some of my favorite things too. Thanks for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
the vignette is so comfortable looking like everthing fits perfect. I am loving your staffordshire dog, I want a set of white dogs like that
what a wonderful vignette you did, Babs. I love everything that you put together. Where did you find the speckled eggs, I have been looking for some?
Love your vignette Babs! It has some of my favorite things: transfer ware, bird's nests, silver, and of course, the container itself! ~Delores
Love the piece you created! These are just the sweetest things indeed! :)
Hugs,
Very pretty Babs. Love the vignette you created.
Love how you always put lil things all together and turns out so beautiful I am trying this one have a few similar things to display thank u
Hi Babs-
I love what you created! Gives me inspiration for a couple of totes I have! I adore your staffordshire ware Spaniel...so cute and unique!
When I see that cocker spaniel, it reminds me of the movie "War of the Roses"!!!!! I can't show you my favorite things because my husband is too big to fit in a box! :-)
It's amazing what pretty vignettes we can make out of things we have around the house. Love it!
Love that combination of things! I'm such a fan of brown and white transferware combined with greenery. I think it looks so pretty. All of your items are perfect together.
Love the transferware...You have grouped your items so beautifully together. Are vignettes fun?
I'm really loving the tote tray trend. I absolutely love your white tray and the decor is very lovely.
