Take a Powder

What's It Wednesday #88

Welcome to another “What's It Wednesday”! Its been a rather hectic week, what with the start of school on Monday. So through lesson plans and bulletin boards I didn't quite (read: not at all) get to the post I'd planned. So I'm sharing a collection (yet another!) of powder boxes and compacts. Luckily I'm not showing them all (LOL) just a few favorites.

Silver topped powder jars are my favorite! I shared them with other vanity pieces here. These are recent additions.

The repoussé design and the initials are so romantic, and the silver overlay and star design in the glass are pretty unique.

This tall cylinder one is my favorite. See the unusual lever to open and close the shaker? So cool!

This is a delicate frosted glass one with gorgeous hand painted flowers

signed in the corner.

Also there's this pretty pale blue one, footed and topped with jewels.

Then we have the compacts. This one has a finger ring and engine turned design. It carries powder and rouge. 

Three nice old ones with cameo cloisonné, handpainting and guilloché designs.

It carries powder and rouge as well. I love that there's still some powder left over.

Love the couple and gold gilt trim.

Guilloché Enamel with sweet flowers.

Hope you enjoyed “taking a powder” with me!

Hugs,

Patti
