Saturday we went to an auction and found some neat prizes for great prices. I certainly wasn't looking for, or needed, any of these but they were such great deals I couldn't pass them up. I got a couple of other things but I'm saving them to show another day when I have better light.
I just LOVE this lamp. It is so sparkly and fabulous. The hanging crystals around it are really long. I'd say at least 7 inches long. So pretty and sparkly. SHINY! It had this little bitty sad black and white shade that made the whole lamp look awkward. This was just a shade I had hanging around the house. Hence the plastic still on it. No, we don't leave the plastic on lamp shades around here. We are heathens but not that bad.
Here's a closer shot of those fabulous crystals.
I got six of these glasses. I didn't have an idea of who made them but they were pretty, pretty. I have now learned they are the Pied Piper pattern produced by Heisey from 1922 - 1942. Bet if they could talk they would have quite a story.
Here's a close up of the detail. I literally unwrapped them from the newspaper and shot these pictures before I lost all daylight. You can see how grungy they are. I'll have to take some pictures once they are clean but you get the idea.
This is a Fairy Light in Fenton Hobnail Milk Glass. I don't collect Milk Glass but this was so sweet I couldn't leave it behind. You put a tealight inside it so it glows. I'll see if I can't get a picture of that for the future also. I know I suck. Why didn't I think of all these pictures before I posted?
Last but not least is this sweet little dresser powder jar. ( I had to research what it was too.) The bottom is cut glass and the top is a decorated celluloid and I'd guess the metal is brass. The metal isn't perfect but I think that leads to some of the charm of the piece.
So those are a couple of my recent finds that I'm currently in love with. Have you found anything fabulous on the cheap recently?
Love, Love, Kiss, Kiss!
