What's It Wednesday #33
Mondays are usually blah and uneventful, right? Not when I take a
trip to my favorite antique store (that’s now open on Mondays!) I found this
gorgeous vanity tray with an etched mirror! I’d not seen one like it before. I
carried it around in my arms the whole time!
As I walked past the checkout counter, I spied with my little eye
a pretty beveled glass box. “Is it sold?” I asked. Nope, they hadn’t gotten
around to putting it out yet. Yea me! That star diamond cut glass top and those
cute cherubs just had to come home with me!
Now I really just came to look for pillboxes, but this powder jar
with hand painting and cameo lid wooed me away. That blue is irresistible!
I love all the religious artwork and statues I’ve been seeing
lately, so I had to have this beautiful statue of our lady, (only four
dollars)!
My eye always goes to things that are unique, and this
umbrella shaped thermometer is perfect! Bone ivory carved handle of a dog (it
even has a chain!) attached to a brass umbrella. It’s quite old and still has
the mercury inside! This is getting pretty rare since mercury hasn’t been used
in thermometers since 1974.
Okay, so I was almost done paying up, and was almost out the door…
until suddenly my supersonic birdcage radar honed in on this beauty! I need it
like another hole in my head, but here she is… home at last! Hope you have a
great week and get some fabulous finds too!
Hugs,
Patti

That was clearly the best Monday! What treasures. The powder jar is stunning, the colour, the cameo, the hand-painting, a perfect combination.
Pill Boxes and Vanity Trays are one
of my favorite things, although I
don't have a large collection..
Love your finds.

Does this antique store know how they increased their bottom line by being open on Mondays for YOU? Haha-you really got some beautiful pieces -- my two favorites are definitely the etched mirror (never seen one etched like that either!) and the beveled glass box.

Fabulous finds, and your collections never cease to amaze me! Your vignettes are beautiful, and you should do a post on how you create them. So glad you shared your creative inspiration with Sunday's Best!
Your birdcage is a gem. They add so much charm to a room -- and yet I don't have one. Will need to keep my eyes opened for such a wonderful find.
Thanks for hosting.
