Sweet Bird on a Rock!

SOLD

Ballard Designs has something similar, I thought you might like to see how they use theirs,

I have added a couple of photos at the end of this post

This is actually for bird seed, but I would use it as a soap dish

either in the kitchen or bath:)!

Bronze Bird Soap Dish sold

And this is some more of the vintage silver I have, I had thought I would

sell this piece but when I tried staging it for a photo in these

different ways, well, I think I should keep it!

Doesn't it look pretty with all the vintage jewelry?

Then I tried it with vintage chandelier crystals, Oh! Loving this look!

Just a shot from Pottery Barn how they use some of their

silver in unusual ways....

I will be putting more silver on, it is taking quite a bit

of elbow grease & time to clean these babies!!!!!

The picture below is of a silver sugar dish/ pencil caddy/ vase/ votive cup.....
SOLD

Ballard Designs using birds as bookends, or paper weights?

Little boy fishing:)

red velvet back

Just had to share, I found this a few weeks ago and just brought her in today
she still needs some work on the knobs but look at her curves, so sweet,
and what I really wanted to share is that I found her in a garage full of tools!
What was that man thinking, treating her like that!

Have a Safe & Wonderful New Year!

Oh and what a fun year it has been for Mavis & Harriet! Thanks so much for all the sweet emails,
encouragement, new friendships, wonderful sharing times!!! I am so looking forward to this next year, I can't wait until treasure hunting resumes:)! May God bless you richly in all that you do to bring Him glory this next year. He truly is our loving Father, my life verse is Proverbs 3:5&6 "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart, and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy steps" Sometimes we may not understand what God is doing in our lives, but we just need to know, as my sweet hubby says often, "this is just an opportunity to trust Him more".

These will take you back to the 60's! Two Turner Wall Accessories

described as a raised still life, the flowers, fruit, etc... is all raised off the canvas
