a glass paperweight with an old creased photo in it.
tiny crystal perfume bottle with a tarnished silver top.
small aothecary bottle - got seven of these
tooth-ache balsam from a long gone dispensing chemist in Edinburgh
this belt fastener is really beautiful - would make a lovely necklace
the brooch in the middle is silver
beautiful amethyst and marcasite brooch - I'll wear this!
these picture frames are brass and probably repro, but I liked them
this one has no back but I think it'd make a nice frame for a textile piece
OMG...they are all to die for! You are so lucky to have found them. Was it one of those Antiques Markets that I have heard about from Kirstie Allsopp on TV?
ReplyDeleteYou could make amazing art with the things you are not going to wear!!

Hi Evie,
ReplyDeleteOhhh, I agree with Susan - your treasures are just gorgeous! Enjoy!
Have a great day.
Hugs,
Marie
Sue, it was a glorified car boot sale!! There was a lot of sheer rubbish but a bit of browsing revealed some lovely things. My friend found a beautiful vintage quilt, pretty enough as a wallhanging, with bits of faded velvet and silk - but she wasn't sure and when she went back - it had gone!! You have to be quick!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky for you; not so lucky for your friend. Hesitate and you are lost. I must say velvet and silk... sounds gorgeous. You could make something!!! ....has that not got you thinking and inspired..I bet it has!!!

You're so right, Sue - but I'd have to knock the stuffing out of it to give it the faded vintage look, that'd be fun to do!!

Nothing makes me more thrilled than a good find:-)
ReplyDeleteYou did really great shopping, Evie. I wish I could be with you to hunt the treasures.
Marie - it turned out to be a lucky trip!
ReplyDeleteGaby - it'd be just great to go on a treasure hunt with you!! Have a lovely Sunday!
