I can't even think of a Post Title tonight, lol, my brain has already gone to sleep. It has been so crazy busy in my store, it seems I haven't moved away from my Etsy stuff all week. Christmas shopping is well under way, it seems.
All I managed to list today ( after dealing with a bunch of orders ) are these little beauties -
The sweetest tiny little mother of pearl child's rosary, really exquisite and totally delightful - SOLD
Another rosary, this time with beautifully deep sky blue glass beads and finely decorated metal tube beads - SOLD
Also, this 1 yard length of antique French metallic thread lace trim, quite stunning - SOLD
Wishing you all a relaxing and happy Sunday, toodlepip xxx
I love putting little collections together. Takes me ages to find the right things so that they go together, but I really enjoy it. I wanted to list a lovely old English Workbox tin by Geo. Bassett, but it always seems such a waste to send an empty box. I prefer to send them filled with something, so I gathered some vintage sewing notions and lace and buttons and put them in the box and that made me feel much happier :-) -
I also listed this amazing antique French trim, which had been used as a pelmet above a tall window - RESERVED
The first French street sign I listed sold very quickly, so I decided to list the only other I have as well - SOLD
I also listed the very last length of the vintage French millinery netting - SOLD, thats it, all gone
See ya tomorrow, toodlepip xxx
with a few more new listings. Things really seem to be gathering pace as more and more people are thinking about Christmas and looking for presents.
New in the shop today are -
A set of twelve crystal knife rests from France -SOLD
A set of dinky little cookie or hors d'oeuvre cutters, which I like to use for decorating jars of home made marmalade or chutneys with - SOLD
Art Deco era vintage French fabric jewelry or sewing box - SOLD
and another beautiful vintage French Holy Water font, this time a beautiful soft green onyx with a silver medal of St. Therese and a sweet little glass font - SOLD
More tomorrow, now I have to go and watch the start of the new The Fall series.

I was so busy today getting orders out, I only managed to list a couple of items, one of which was a custom order which has already gone out of the shop again and is now on the way to the customer. So, all I am going to show you today is this one thing, a very beautiful vintage French Art Deco Holy Water font/benitier. The portrait of Christ is just wonderful -
No burning the midnight oil for me today.

The weather has been so awful the last few days, thunderstorms and torrential rain at times, that it is quite pleasant being indoors and working on listings for the shop.

A pair of vintage French lion head coat hooks, solid brass and very nice quality -

A vintage ENGLISH pharmacy/apothecary tin, filled with tiny mixed media treasures -
