A Few More Vintage Finds


A few more simple finds found at Webster last Monday...

This HONEY tin is in great shape...
Too bad I can't read the faint writing in the box...
From The Apiary of.....


I love it's blue color which blends perfectly
 with the small size Ball canning jar I found.


And then there was this vintage mint green jewelry box with the same color blue for its velvet lining.


Possibly my favorite take home treasure...
is this old ironstone corn mold.

Did you know vintage kitchen items were my first love?

I can't seem to get enough of white ironstone.
Although, goodness knows...
I. have. enough.


One of my Mom's pretty silver spoons...
February
sits on top of 4 vintage blue and white linen napkins.

love blue and white.
love linen.


 ...oh, and I forgot to show you these three tiny change purses...
...not sure what crafty thing I will do with them.
They probably will sit in a box with all the other tiny change purses I seem to bring home with me!

 So that's it for today. 
I have chicken tarragon in the oven and am expecting
 Mr. Flea's parents to join Dad and me for dinner.

Then....it's Super Bowl time and, of course...Downton Abbey!

    The corn mold is a wonderful find. I just watched season 1 of Downton Abbey in just two nights and am all caught up now. I just adore it.

    as always, wonderful things!
    I adore the ironstone corn mold, and of course the little purses, and the bitsy locket, and, and.....
    Doctors should pick up on the BHD, clever Laura, very clever!!!!!
    Love and hugs, Evi
    PS. The purses would look wonderful with some other little tidbids in an old frame with pretty paper as background.

    I was out thrifting and junk'in with my daughter today to help feather her new next and I found myself looking at stuff in a whole new way and thinking things like "hmmm so and so (blogger) collects this" or "oh so and so would make a ____ out of that". It was like I was shopping for hundreds!

    I can't resist a challenge, so I borrowed your Honey Tin image. Opened it in Paint.net, cropped just the label and used contrast to enhance it. I can just make out the words,
    "Mrs. J. or U. Barry" it looks most like the letter U. The words below that are too blurred, but if you take the highest def. photo you're able to, and do the same you may solve that mystery too.

    I can send you a copy of the bit I enhanced if you want. After that, I will delete it from my computer. I don't keep photos that don't belong to me. I just wanted to solve the mystery. Now I'd love to know who Mrs. Barry was.

    I wish I could go shopping with you. I have been wanting little coin purses for a long time but have not had any luck. You have a keen eye for picking out wonderful treasures.

    I Have many of the coin change purses too, and I wonder what to do! I get them I guess just because I know they are so old.
    That spoon in the most elaborate I have ever scene.

    You really have a fine shopping place at Webster!

    Smiles, Cyndi
