Vintage Bird Etchings Collection


Happy Fall my fellow Bloggers!
Today I am sharing with you my most recent collection of Vintage Bird Etchings. 
The pieces are from the late 1800's and where once in a book.
The colours are so bright and crisp I love each one as much as the first.I hope you enjoy them as much as I do... 




















The two framed below were done in a 16 x 20 frame and it hangs in the entranceway of the our Condo Lobby. It was hard to get a good shot of the finished piece with the glare of the glass.
I will have to choose carefully when deciding which other ones to frame as the cost of framing and matting them was high.

Changes in our Ensuite


Welcome & thank you for stopping in today. I am sharing photos of the newest addition to our ensuite. The stained glass piece was one of the first pieces I made. 



This vintage cabinet was a piece that was available at the Antique Sale I helped with a few weeks ago. I love that it is so shallow in depth but holders so much storage and decor pieces.




This sweet little hand painted lid is so pretty... don't you agree?







My guest towel below was made by my Grandmother Laura and she passed away at age 36 so it is very special to me.
















The label above is one I found on Graphics Fairy and I love it colours and design.












The little baskets are great for storing extra hand towels and air fresheners etc. 











Don't you just love the sweet cherub below. I was told he used to be part of a napkin ring.









Some needlework pieces above in the room that were made by Family members, and the pieces below are vintage.

RS Prussia Cracker Jar


Welcome....
Today I am sharing my RS Prussia Cracker Jar that was gifted to me last week. Our Dear friends had owned an Antique store and retired 10 yrs ago. They have decided to sell their home and downsize this year so I had offered to help them hold an Antique sale this past week and they gifted me with this beautiful piece which I will treasure! 





I had purchased this lovely gilded stand and two smaller ones that were once used for a Mantle clock and two candlesticks. 









The colours on the jar are so dreamy....
