Auction love

Once in awhile it happens. An auction that seemed to be tailored just for me. I brought home a box of beautiful antique French and German bisque doll heads of all sizes. Most are in good condition, some however need some love. 

I also brought home boxes and boxes of vintage millinery in every color imaginable. I will be offering these in my etsy shop in groupings of assorted colors at a really great price. Let me know if you are interested in groupings of only a color or two.  See you at the auction!

Memories found

I saw this  vintage scrapbook in a box at the weekly auction. I saw that it had alot of greeting cards in it so I put it on my bid list. I won! In my hurry to check out the other items , I neglected to look under the scrapbook in the box.

Under the book, I found certificates for insurance and mortgages from the 1870's and 1880's.
I also found bank receipts, letters and photos from the 1920's and 30's.
Those were all a bonus as the scrapbook had me at the cover. 

Pretty little thing

I was feeling sorry for myself that all the vintage, pastel, Valentine candy boxes were going for so much money on the auction sites. Then I found this little Bethany Lowe repro box. It is very little, 4 inches, but very sweet. So it will do while I wait for the perfect, pink pleated satin, heart candy box with velvet flowers to show up at the auction for $5.00!! He-he

I'm Back.....sort of

I'm back. Recuperating slowly. And I do mean slowly! That's alot harder to do when all I see is rain out my windows. There was nothing fun to blog about the hospital but I have been lurking and reading all of your blogs. 

This is something I got in a box at the auction before all this fun started. And I shouldn't be collecting anything new, but if I was to start a new collection it would be pretty ladies like these. This one is pretty tiny and I like her that way. I have seen larger ones but I am always drawn to tiny things. I love her "Lucy " jewelry and how it is applied rather than part of the ceramic. 

I love her eyelashes too. So I'll try not to collect these lady head vases and I'll try not to look for them at the auctions and flea markets when I get back into going out. Pretty woman!

Pink Saturday

Welcome to Pink Saturday hosted by Beverly. 

Please stop by her blog to see the lovely participants. Well, warm weather has returned to my little spot of the world and that means Monday Flea Markets and Friday auctions. It is a guilty pleasure starting off the week with something fun when I feel like I should be doing chores. Here are two of my latest finds....the pink ones. A sweet retro patio set with carrier and pink flowered glasses. Behind that is a gorgeous hat box with the prettiest rose paper.  Both of these pretties are in my ebay store. Thanks for looking.
