When I’m at estate sales, garage sales, thrift stores etc., I am always drawn to things from Italy.

Here are a few of my recent finds from Italy. This vase came from a resale shop. I sold it on Etsy just a few days after it was listed. Since I was new at selling, I found out that I had alot to learn! The vase arrived at it’s destination, but in two pieces! Needless to say, I have learned to be much more careful in my packaging! This vase was really unusual, and I hate that it got broken!

This hand painted vase from Italy is my favorite! I bought it from one of the dealers at the antique mall. He was closing his booth, and gave me a great deal on the vase! I love the bright vibrant colors.

And finally, this wooden inlaid box came from Italy. I bought it from an estate of a lady that had traveled the world over. I love this too, but still think my favorite if the hand painted pitcher above.

 

How about you? Are you intrigued with stuff from Italy or another country? Tell me about it!

Snow in Mississippi

When it snows here, pretty much everything shuts down! Schools close, offices, etc. all close early. People down here don’t know how to drive in the snow, and often those that do slide off the road!

I love the snow, and think it is beautiful, but I’m so glad we don’t have to deal with it on a regular basis!

Here’s some snow pics around my house:

I’ve had to stay home today…so I’ve gotten lots done! Busy making crafts for my Etsy shop, and my flea market booth!

Thanks for stopping by!

2nd Time Around: Cow Creamers

This picture is one of the cow creamers that I’ve found while shopping for my Etsy shop and antique booth. This one is a little large, but so cute! It is the size of a milk bottle. I usually buy cow creamers when I find them, because I’ve sold two on Etsy-in fact my first sale was a cow creamer!

 

Recently I passed up one at an estate sale like the one in this link:

It was priced at $12.00 and I thought that was too much! I wonder now if it was like the one in the link! Guess I’ll never know! LOL

Next time I run across one from Germany, I think I’ll take a chance on it. :)

Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints!

I’m not really a football fan, but this year I really got into this game! Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints for your hard work!

I love this picture of an emotional Drew Brees and his son after he and his team won the Super Bowl!

 

2nd Time Around: Milk Glass

One of the things I’m finding while hunting for stuff for my booth is lots of milk glass. Most of it is priced very reasonably, and lots of people like to collect it. Like everything else I’m buying these days, I love it, just don’t have the space for it in my home!

Here are some milk glass pieces that I’ve bought recently:

Love this 2 piece hen dish!

This vase has been one of my most viewed items on Etsy. I don’t know why….it just is!

Love this big urn like vase! I think it would be perfect in a craft room or studio to use for storing supplies!

This little bowl is pretty popular too…I have bought two of these…one for my booth, and one for ETSY.

 

What about you? Do you like milk glass? Tell me about a favorite piece of yours!
