Recent finds

Thought I'd share some treasures I've found recently. 

The dolphin is a brooch that is made to sit on your shoulder.

I've never come across such an unusual plant stand.  I wasn't too thrilled with the circle of finials around the top at first.  It wasn't until I got it home that I really fell in love with it!

I found this pair of glass cubes with soldered copper edges containing these gorgeous butterfly specimens.

I think they were originally displayed on tiny glass stems which have fallen down.

They are still lovely as is.

This is a classic brass magazine holder from Breuners.

I love how reflective the shiny brass surface is.

I found this cool burlap wrapped lamp at The White Elephant Sale.

It features Picasso's Blue Period.

I scored the perfect lampshade today at Marshall's!
I need to find a smaller harp but it's the perfect size, shape and color!

Another score of late is this tall bamboo & lacquer plant stand.

I found this large vintage milagros at the same sale.

Milagros are small devotional charms that are generally composed of gold, silver, copper or brass

Love the shape of this vintage wicker basket!

A wonderful plaster ceiling medallion.

I'm considering putting it in my Dining Room.

Am I the only person who gets excited over a humongous ball of old rubber bands?
I found the awesome old wire basket which provided the perfect container for my curious find!

I love this beautiful vintage statue of Jesus and his Mother Mary

I love how there is a place for a votive candle.

I have a weakness for ships and found this model of a Coast Guard Ship.
USCG BARQUE EAGLE

I'm completely smitten with this set of 10 silver plate spoons and their unusually large Fleur de Lys motif.  On the backside of each spoon are a set of engraved initials.  I think they are probably European.

Just today I found this cool vintage camera at my favorite consignment store.

I have no idea of it's age but it still has the original instructions!


Happy Hunting this weekend!!!!
