Happy Saturday!

Thank you for stopping in again today..I am sharing some of the treasures I have displayed on the mantle that we collected over the years from around the country at various auction sales, antique shops and car boot sales.

Three little pocket knifes..an arrow head and a pocket watch

Two of my favorite little vases e marked France and the other PS Germany. My little pink creamer is Limoges.


A lovely photo of my Great Grandmother and her children..my Grandmother is sitting beside her. Also shown is a hand painted floral pin that belonged to her.




This cupid wall pocket is so delicate & pretty with all its flowers..
Can a girl have too many domed silver plated butter dishes? I don't think so..

Thank you for stopping in today..have a wonderful weekend!

Wanda

  7. Wow, those are all so beautiful...I have a pitcher similar to the first photo you shared here. Maybe I'll repost some photos this week!!! I always like it when objects like this have floral detail. It adds to their beauty ) :) No, there is no such thing as too many domed butter dishes ) :) :) :) I have this delicate little shell pin that my great=grandmother made. it's pink and white and made to look like little flowers. Thanks for sharing all these beautiful items with us :) Have a lovely weekend. Love and hugs from Oregon, Heather :)

  10. Thanks for your comment!
    Shirley a Car boot sale is what they had in England when we were there. I assume it is in place of garage sales as we have. Cars gather in a parking lot and sell there antiques out of the trunk. (trunk called a boot in London) Hope that helps..
