Weekend Treasure Hunt
It was cold, damp and rainy on Saturday...so miserable out that sis decided to stay at home and get over her sinus infection. We have such a grand time running around that normally I would have hung around the house but I find that when the weather is rainy,that is the best kind of day for finding treasure or at least it is for me. Perhaps it is the fate of a Sea Witch to thrive in a water soaked day so I was off to a few favorite haunts and they did not disappoint.
Fantastic Warwick china Pitcher and Bowl set.
Nice late Victorian piece and I adore these in white.
Lovely sterling mirror and brush set from the 1900s, a lovely gold mirror, brush and comb set from the 1950s, a pretty mirror dresser tray with roses along the edge, a cool, vintage iron from the 1950s, and the loveliest little tea pot from the 30s. I may keep that myself.
How cool is that huge, calabash pipe and then right next to is is a tiny wooden shoe pipe. Both vintage and still working. Pretty little Victorian basket, nice pink darner, a rhinestone pin that spells out Paris, a pair of sterling dinner table bells and a vintage 38 special cap gun.
Pretty vintage photograph in tin frame, lovely dresser set of a powder box and a pair of scent bottles, two books from the 1800's but the real find is a series of french missals and paper items. I immediately thought of all of those altered artists who adore working with vintage papers and thought how lovely it would be to have some of these sheets. As I looked at them I felt a "giveaway coming on". Yea, this would be a neat item to put in a giveaway and my honey always says to spread the wealth so look for tomorrow's post regarding this frenchie giveaway.
After cleaning items up and preparing tags, I hauled my treasure to Queen of Hearts and put most of them in my booth. A quick rotation of stock to make the booth look fresh and I think we are good to go. Hope you enjoy the photos.
The Victorian water and pitcher set look lovely with the purple tulips.
Moved the silver into the corner cupboard and displayed the green depression glass and vintage china pieces.
Pretty vintage travel case, and shabby cabbage roses on china.
I love this pretty impressionistic painting in the vintage frame.
I think the silver looks great in this vintage corner cupboard. Nice juxtaposition of elegance and comfortable home.
Pink is such a fun color to decorate with.
...and last but not least, that pretty little teapot. The more I look at it the more I think I want to keep it. So that was my weekend, I had a wonderful time hunting down treasure. I will now work on that French giveaway that I "feel coming on" and will post about it tomorrow. Have a great Monday. Sea Witch
