Happy White Wednesday mes amies.
I'm sharing some tresors that I found this past week-end while out "junkin" with two very dear friends (I'll be posting all about THAT adventure real soon...) and while shopping at some of my favorite "locales of interest"....
Love all of these "crazed" pieces of china....
..this one had the sweetest fleur-de-lis pattern on the rim (Susan was kind enough to dig it out for me and even kinder NOT to add it to her OWN pile of goodies!)
...love the detail on this one.
What would a day of junkin be without purchasing a doorknob
I've wanted one of these marmalade jars forever!!
Found it at "Thoroughly Antiques" in Concord...
And old photographs always "speak to me".....
Found these gorgeous authentic French labels there as well....
These vintage crochet spools were quite a steal at The White Elephant in Essex....
I found the trio of cabuchons at Todd Farm Flea Market in Rowley...so sweet!
I've been on the hunt for old Holy Water Fonts for a little while now and was lucky enough to snag this one for a dollar!
Beautiful Paper cross made by Beth at "Nesting On Main" in Concord....
Found this gorgeous chippy column at Pettengill Farm Vintage Bazaar in Salisbury after the Todd Farm/White Elephant outing. (I'll reveal it in its' entirety in my next post)....
And this sweet finding is called a "Mermaids Purse"....so petite. Inside was a tiny white seashell. It, too, was found at "Nesting."
Lastly....I made a few more Inspiration Holders to add to my ETSY shop....

What a great haul, all very pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour "French" labels are actually Belgian...!
You could only find photographs like that in the US (they are beautiful!) because in Europe, people simply weren't affluent enough for snapshots at this period in time - you will likely only find very stern studio shots, like my collection of my German and English family ;) It was only when the Box Brownie became more popular in the 30s that ordinary people began to take more photos and then they are often in a very small format.
Even when I was born in the mid-60s, my parents could only afford one black/white 35mm film of 24 shots for my first year... fortunately, my mom kept the negatives, so that when I was 25, we made another copy of all the photos, finding those that she had sent away to family at the time and which I had never seen!
Hi Michelle,
ReplyDeleteWow! A Holy water font for $1??? And one that is just so pretty too??? You lucky gal!! The shopping gods were smiling upon you that day. Love all your finds, but that Holy water font, is something to behold! Have a great weekend.
Christine
