Does anyone else out there have a vintage scissor collection?
Maybe you all do!
Anyway...
two weeks ago while browsing
the after Christmas sale at Anthropologie....
I spied these two pair of scissors from the Sibella Court collection.
vintage...looking!
And at 50% off the sale price...
...it was time to buy them
and bring them home to add to my collection.
One of these days... if I get it all together...
I will share my vintage scissor collection...
...or have we already done that?
So, it turns out that yesterday's post was my 800th....
...It just doesn't seem possible!
In any case...
Time for a Give-Back!
Time for me to show you all how much I appreciate
all the feedback, comments and support you have given me.
Gee, I'll have to think about this.
What kind of blog loving give aways are your favorites?
Any suggestions?
I'm open to ideas!
What sort of give-back would you like to see on
52 FLEA?
:)

Scissors?! I'd have never thought to collect scissors ... ooooh, fun!
I have often thought about starting a scissors collection. Having sewn since I was an early teen they have been a"I cannot do without item" I love the old stork handles, pearl handles etc.
I have a few and now you have inspired me to get them all together. I had the Anthropologie scissors in my hand and put them back...why?
I'm sure I would love anything you choose to giveaway!
Happy New Year my friend!
Love those scissors. I bought another pair of scissors at an estate sale today but most of mine are vintage plain janes. I'm more about the function; I love having a nice sharp pair in every room!

I love your driftwood, with the old watches, and the scissors are wonderful- I do not have a collection-only a few old embroidery scissors.
Congratulations on your 8+00 dear Laura.
hUGS,dORTHE
Love the scissors...
Nice scissors, anything vintage is beautiful! I think anything you giveaway would be great! You have great taste!
Susan
These are cool and your photos are fabulous.
I only have one vintage pair of scissors I took from my mom's house. They are rather plain, but have great patina. As for your give away, I am sure anything you decide on will be wonderful. I am judging from the things I see you buy at the flea markets and show on your site.
mmmm...never thought that others would have scissors collections too! yours are so dainty - most of mine are large dressmaker's shears...but anything metal and with great patina is a winner!
congrats on 800 posts!
I have scissors too, small, from my aunt and sister-in law, med and large old metal rusty. Love anything you come up with for a giveaway. I love ironstone but you have such good taste, love the clock parts too! Di from Cottage-wishes
Wishing you continued posts onward and upward!
great scissors...i LOVE odd collections !!
(is there a place to see what number post you are on?)
These scissors look so old!
Whatever you decide to give away I am sure it will be great!AriadnefromGreece!
I love scissors. I only have a couple of pairs of old ones though.
You are always so kind and generous with your give aways so I am sure that no matter what you come up with it will be great. Congrats on 800 posts! Very impressive!
Handmade giveaways are the best!! I collect antique sewing items so have several scissors. I too bought the Anthro. scissors. They are lovely! So happy to have just found your blog. It's like coming home.
I need to start another collection almost as badly as I need a hole in my head. But those scissors will certainly make me consider it!

HiLaura~~ Love the scissors. As far as a giveaway, you have done so much for me I really couldnt say, but I know whatever you do will be great:)
Have a great day:)

800 posts! You are a productive lady and I've no doubt you'll select something charming for your give back. As for scissors ~ I would have snapped those up too. I've been a stitcher since childhood and scissors have collected about me for many years. Most of mine are small stitching scissors, some vintage while others are just interesting. Friends have given me scissors, but most I've purchased when I see something different. I've thought about creating a post on scissors too, just haven't gotten around to it. Now you have me wanting to head to Anthropologie. ~ Sarah
800 - It has been a long time.
You have such excellent taste that I'm sure anything you would chose to give away would be treasured by the recipient.
Congrats on 800 posts!! The scissors are lovely. If you can believe it, I have never been to an Anthro store. No real good reason.
I'm sure anything you choose to "give back" will be wonderful.
Annette
Lo and behold...I do have the old version of
the wicker ones...yours are convincing! I think we
are supposed to be trimming our roses with them LOL not sure :)
Congrats on the celebration!
Chocolate is always fun ;)
800 posts! Wow . . .
Congratulations!!
I want to wish you Happy New Year too. I don't have a scissor collection, but these scissors sure are tempting. I especially love the string wrapped handles.
Hugs!

Laura,
Very Vintage looking. I would have never thought that! No, I don't collect Vintage scissors. Just pin cushions. Funny this gal can't sew a stitch but, collects pin cushions :)
Go figure.
Have a great week,
xxx Liz
What a cool thing to collect! 800th post! Oh my goodness! I can't fathom... congratulations Laura!
And as far as give-aways...everything you do is pretty amazing!
Have a great evening
Donna
I like the clock faces set into the driftwood--almost Dali-like. As far as giveaway ideas go, it might be nice to give back by giving to someone who really needs it, like maybe a charity or something. Here's an idea...
Congratulations on the number of posts! thats a lot of diligence and hard work.
WhoooHoooo! Is there anything better than finding new love @ 50% off the SALE price? Good for you.... and they're just too darn cute. Two pair of vintage scissors here......does that even count as a collection? One vintage Wiss flower snips... embossed.... and pretty cute. And, my grandma's HUGE tailor scissors. :-)
Happy New Year!!
Spence
Laura the scissors are way cool. And your photos in this post are gorgeous.(in every post)!
800 posts is amazing Laura, and a lot of work, so thank you for the time you give to share.
hugs...
Hi 52 Flea,
I do not collect scissors but I do have fond memories of my grandmother and her scissors.
Congratulations on 800 posts! That's a lot of love and dedication to do something you enjoy. Love your blog.
Love, Jody
800 posts! Congratulations! I cannot imagine! The scissors are wonderful...I've never really thought of collecting these...but these are so lovely, I'd never pass them by!
This made me think of the movie, "Dead Again" with Kenneth Branaugh and Emma Thompson. Has anyone seen it? :-)
I have a couple of old pair. I just love that they last forever. Just keep sharpening and oiling.
Giveaway...I would love anything that you presented.
Well, now I think I must start a scissor collection!
Congratulations on 800 posts! That's quite an accomplishment!
Jackie
Great vintage looking scissors. Congrats on 800 posts!
Hugs,
Susan and Bentley
I like those scissors.
That is funny, because I just bought a pr. of old vintage scissors a few days ago. I am confused are the ones you bought old or copies of old ones - since someone above said they bought them too I thought they must be copies.
