Finds of the Week: Brass Shell Purse, Tuck's Patriotic Postcard, Glass Shakers


Ran out quickly yesterday morning to a local antique flea... found these lovely baubles and beads... the old buttons are from Germany. Loved this trio all together so I bundled them into one price

A brass shell purse with an ornate clasp...crushed blue velvet lining.




Sweet and petite....this little French scene plate/tray is perfect for bon bons! (And who doesn't love a small treat on a pretty plate?)


I couldn't believe I found another little figurine like this one!





The old lock and key... the key fits and works!




Antique Paris postcards...nothing more needs to be said!





I saw this and thought it was great for crafting... or even wearing! A vintage wire wrap choker necklace.




I always thought cameos came in the same old color...coral background with ivory silhouette.


My favorite is the pink of course!




A unique piece. It can be used as a pendant or as a brooch.




Glass shakers... just right for crafter's glitter



I was in "Keep this one" mode but finally gave it to the shop!


Some days I'd like to keep it all...




A trio of servers for the table. Pickle fork, master butter and a petite jelly spoon



Antique valentines are always a favorite!



So are violets. They have sprung up everywhere !


Their presence is so refreshing after a long winter.




All these and more available in my Just Listed category.



Have a beautiful day!

what an amazing collection. I Really love everything, but my fave has to be that violet cup/saucer, especially with a baked cupcake in it :)
Thanks for sharing!

You have the best luck finding wonderful items!!! Our local flea markets tend to have stuff of the "flea" variety vs. the cool antique treasures! I'd have a real hard time parting with most of it!

We're having a wonderful day in MO...gotta get outside and soak it up!
