Happy New Year. I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous 2010!
I started off my New Year yesterday by antiquing at a couple of my new favorite local antique stores, and of course found some fabulous goodies to freshen up my home decor.
Here are the pics, I hope this inspires.
Here are some wonderful antique watch cases. The silver case actually had a beautiful watch face with all the workings still attached inside.
As you can see the patent dates are from 1888-1892.
The hands on the watch are gold filigree.
I found another beautiful prayer card. I love the colors!
Here is a great old basket I picked up too.
Here is a picture of my favorite antique vanity. It was the first antique piece I ever purchased. I LOVE IT!!!
A beautiful vintage armoire.
And last but not least, my new vintage chandelier my husband gave me for Christmas, and it still works. I am a chandelier-aholic. I love them and have several that I don't even have hung yet. Most of them need to be re-wired, so eventually I'll get it done so I can use them. I love that no matter what your style is, a chandelier can bring such elegance and warmth to a room. Especially coupled with an old farm house table that has layers an layers of peeling paint.
just found your blog....beautiful....i am a jewelry maker too and love to use vintage bobbles in my work....nice to met you and happy new year, jules
ReplyDeleteLove Love Love your Jewelry, photos and the idea of Silver Sunday. Somewhat bummed that I missed yesterday. There's always next week. Great gift from your hubby. I love chandeliers too, but have a new house and no matter how hard I try - you can't fake the charm of an older home, they just don't work. I need to move. Thanks for the vintage moment.
