New Treasures

 First I won this wonderful on canvas art piece by Laurie , her blog is Indulge Yourself I was so excited to get it . She does wonderful art and is another Button Floozie . I just got home from a friends and she gave me a few old buttons can't wait to play with them LOL You button gals know what  I am talking about first one I seen in the bag had RHINESTONES on it OMG !!!LOL

Lorene is 97 and I went out and vacuumed he house because she is having her bridge club over. Can you believe 97and still playing bridge , bless her heart. I offered to help her , she had told me couple weeks ago she couldn't push her vacuum,.


                                                                     

Thanks again Laurie



I went to St Louis with a girl friend Monday Labor day and found a wonderful jewelry box with little cupids on it . We hit a few thrift stores and the Galleria , guess which place I had more fun? Yup . the thrift  stores.
I did resist coming back home this morning not to stop at Goodwill LOL




I had to take one of my little suit cases full of vintage lace outside to get a good picture in the sun. I just loves my lace and the little jewel box looks so sweet on the lace. In that stash of lace is a cuff cut off an old dress with the snap on it and everything. I just realized that today I am going to sew on some MOP or rhinestone buttons on it and wear it for a bracelet.





I am working still on getting my ETSY page going , I just haven't set down long enough to figure it out , any advice is welcomed?


Anyway I am going to show some Mother of Pearl knives in their  original box , the box has the old antique  snap locks love them also as much as the knives, I am a box collector also






Getting back to the subject of the cupid hinged jewel box , what would you say is a great price for it? I bought one at an estate sale once and gave $35. I know that is  lot but I have seen them lot pricier 

well need to get busy my house needs my attention      


Linky parties I am going over to visit

    1. I am not sure of it's age maybe a repo back in 1960's?? I know a gal who use to have a blog that would know Vanna @ delusions of grander

  7. Thank you for your visit to my blog last week! Your blog is lovely. Good luck with your new Etsy shop...my only advice would be to have enough of an inventory to keep people "in your shop" for as long as possible. Look forward to seeing what you do!

    Ciao,
    Suzanne

  9. I live in St. Louis and I must admit that I have far more fun shopping at the thrift stores than at the Galleria. You never know what you may find at the thrifts--it's synchronistic shopping. I just love your little treasure box with the cupids. Please post to show how it looks with some of your other treasures inside of it.

  14. Hi Janice!!!
    Oh girl I have missed you and your blog! I can't wait till you open your etsy shop! Now I've been over there about ten minutes, but it's super easy to set up your shop. I'm happy to help if you have any questions. I also have that same exact cherub jewelry casket! I paid something like $20-$30? Can't quite remember, but I've seen the same one go for over $95 a couple of times on ebay....Oh and I just saw your question at the top of the page...You're right, vintage 60's (good times!) *winks* Now whatcha gonna do with those mop knives girlfriend? *hint hint* ((HUGS)) Vanna

    Love the MOP knives too!
