Antique Car Vase Find
We girls were out doing our antique mall/thrift shop hop last Saturday. The guys were busy, so off we went. There weren't too many goodies out there, but I did find this...
It's an antique car vase. They were placed into hooks onto the outside of cars...whether funeral cars or a Buick or what have you...and bouquets of flowers were put into them. This pretty vase doesn't have it's hook...BUT it is beautifully intact. It is cone/sconce shaped and has pressed grape vines and grapes all over it.
Such pretty detail! I see that the holders can be purchased on Ebay. However, this does have a hole in the glass, so that a hook could be secured to a wall.
This would look lovely as home décor or on a door. Anyway, I was glad to find it and have listed it in my Etsy shop. It has a tiny crack in the very tip of the glass (amazing that's all since this probably bumpety-bumped along the road quite a bit) that does not affect the prettiness nor does it leak. Anyway, I was delighted with the find. Hopefully someone else will be too!

Thrift Shop Finds
Today was a discount day at the thrift shop in town. I just love discount days...but I so rarely actually make it to them...busy with school and such, you know. However, I was able to go today and snagged some pretty and useful things for a song.
This is a wreath with beautiful plastic leaves on it. I'm sure I'll have a purpose for this come fall. It could use a good cleaning, but each of these leaves are on wire and will be very useful in the future, I'm sure.
Then there are these pretty, old spoons. I have been looking for more to make some ornaments with, and these have a nice pattern on the ends and a pretty worn patina.
This is two strips of gold trim--one thinner and decorative and one with tassels. Trim is expensive to buy outright, and I will certainly find uses for these pieces. I may have enough to do a chair that desperately needs to be recovered and re-trimmed (yes, the chair I am sitting on!).
This last thing is a dish that I do not need...but I love it. It is perfect for pickles or sugar cubes or some other little bits.
The cobalt and roses are so pretty together as well as the gold accents and scalloped shape of the dish.
