Let's Talk Vintage! #36: Crystal Clear - My Sparkling Collection

 

Welcome to Let's Talk Vintage!

If you've arrived here, you must

love vintage in some way, shape,

or form... so feel free to

 link up at the end!

 

Share your vintage

inspired projects, collections,

old family recipes, antique finds,

items for sale, you name it.

If it has to do with vintage, we'd

love to talk about it!

 

Today I am sharing a new find

my hubby spotted over the weekend.

 

As you can see, it is more than

just a find. It was an acquisition!

 

A curio cabinet from around

the 1970's. Not that

old, but it serves its purpose.

 

I have yet another collection

to share with you. I know,

I need to join C.A.

(Collectors Anonymous)

 

Crystal pieces seem to

attract me and I'm not sure why.

I've always liked things

that sparkle.

 

But no one else seems to want it.

 

So I am getting 

these pieces at great prices!

Look how pretty it looks

when gathered together:

  

 

 

Anyway, back to my story.

My china cabinet was getting

 a bit crowded.

 

So when the hubby texted me a photo of

a curio cabinet. I said "YES!"

 

I had seen one I liked in a

furniture store

and it was on sale for $550.00.

It was black and was triangular

shaped so you could

fit it into a corner.

 

My hubby happened to find a husband

and wife who were downsizing and sold

this one to us for $50.00.

 

I immediately filled it with

family heirlooms and pieces

I have collected over time.

A little Venetian hand blown

glass too.

 

I'll deal with the dust ...

I just love turning on the

light at night and seeing

the pretty, sparkling crystal!

Now before we head into this week's features...

I just want to mention that I'm having a sitewide

"Free Shipping Summer Sale" on

orders of 20.00 or more! I don't have

sales too often and I rarely offer

free shipping!

 

Lots of fun, discounted items, while

each order receives a free gift, too!

Here are this week's features:

 

 

Brocante Treasures went

a hunting and found some

gorgeous, unique treasures. I love

seeing what she finds ... who

wouldn't love shopping in France???? 

 

 

and My Vintage Life shared

her first finds of winter.

Beautiful way to display this bowl

with a touch of pink!

 

 

 

and Adirondack Girl at Heart

shared her painted and stenciled

vintage box. It looks perfect

hanging out with her ironstone

collection!
