Silk and Silver and Springtime trims

I haven't listed anything for a few weeks, but I have started again now, and will try to add one or two things every day. Could make that my New Year's resolution, I suppose. Once again, I am listing these things on Etsy, because it is so much fairer to you all. On the blog, I can't take off bought items when I am not around, with Etsy, any bought item disappears instantly, so there can't be any mistakes and disappointments.

Starting with the SILK of the blog title, this is the most exquisite silk and silk embroidery handkerchief , perfect for a wedding handkerchief -

Silk handkerchief is SOLD

Next, the SILVER, an antique ornate WMF silver plated two handled chalice/cup

WMF cup is SOLD

And the SPRINGTIME trims? Here they are, delicious ice creamy Spring colours - SOLD. but more available


I have also listed a few other things. This is a rather sweet velvet and silver metal souvenir from Lourdes, I would think from the 1950s -


A fabulous 1922 Blue Guides Muirhead's Paris and Its Environs, incredibly informative and with a wealth of fold out maps - SOLD


Two vintage enameled blue and white French house numbers, one with square corners, one with rounded corners -

Set of 3 Miniature French Books

Aren't these the most adorable little books? They look so beautiful displayed with other little treasures. All three were found on different occasions over a very long period of time, but they make such a lovely set, that I decided to put them together. The covers are suede leather, and they measure approx. 2.5 inches by 3.5 inches.

The titles are -

Bienfaits d'Aimer
Anthologie Victor Hugo
Pascal - Choix de Pensees

Rare books indeed, and such a sweet little collection.

SOLD

Vintage French "Missel Vesperal"

Religious books have always appealed to me, probably because they remind me of going to church on Sundays with my grandmother. I found this beautiful French "Missel Vesperal" in France a little while ago, and just had to get it. It is from the 60s, so a good vintage age, and is beautifully illustrated with many many glorious pictures. The page edges are gilded. It has a little bit of damage on the back, everything else is in fine condition -
