More Trinkets and Treasures

Good morning!

Thank you for your feedback to the question in my previous post...I'll carry on posting about the treasures I find on my travels... :)

Coming up are the goodies I discovered at the weekend...

Vintage brooches and pretty necklaces.

A lovely old sewing basket (love the floral fabric cover) full of useful sewing equipment and supplies.

Colourful Christmassy baubles in time for the festive season.

Baby gowns in need of recycling...I've started working with these, so will reveal all when the items are complete. ;-))

These cute doll-sized knitted items are going to be used on Christmas cards to friends.

Adorable miniature flue-cover. (Sold yesterday)

Tactile sea shells and an urchin.

Rusty keys will become Christmas decorations with the addition of a few twinkling trinkets.

A fantastic old Good Houskeeping Cookery Book.

Love those colour plates!

Metal flower frogs, always a useful find for displaying postcards and such. Pretty glass cologne bottle, that I have since tied with lace and an old millinery flower, which I'll show towards the end of this post.

A baby's portrait on milk glass, dated 1896.

Two beautiful Victorian photograph albums...

with plenty of delicious illustrated mounts inside.

A large pile of linens and lace...

Now freshly laundered and waiting to be pressed this morning.

Chippy painted garden spade.

And a standard lamp to provide extra lighting in my shop.

A wonderful over-mantel mirror, which I feel needs painting (another for the to-do list! ;-))

I also moved this gorgeous chest of drawers with its fab original paint into the shop yesterday, as several pieces sold last week.

It makes the ideal base for my Christmas display.

I'd just like to thank Belinda for her post about the goings-on outside my shop recently, which she has posted on her Somerset blog here.

Thanks for dropping-by Nostalgia at the Stone House!

Enjoy the rest of your week,
