I found a bunch of these pretty canning jar lids and seals, and I just thought it would be fun to arrange them in the shape of a Christmas tree for my photo:
This vintage bee brooch was just sitting there waiting for me in one of the display cases.
He's a cutie, and his little wings move:
I found the lovely little hobnail iridescent vase, below, at a Goodwill. I believe it's Fenton (Moonstone?).
The price tag said $1.50, and I plucked it right off their little cart as they were setting things out on the shelves.
They weren't even putting it up front in the "special vintage" section.
Mine:
And a great needlepoint and crewel-embroidered pillow cover:
I found a pretty little vintage canister in my favorite green and blue:
A vintage (with that "antiqued" vibe) No Smoking sign:
This one may not be a pretty color like my other two, but I will not pass these up. I like the idea of being able to tear off a piece of tape one-handed. These vintage ones are heavy enough that they don't move around on you. I decided to keep this one in the kitchen drawer - I don't even have to take it out of the drawer to get a piece of tape! Works for me:
I do love a nice, useful, "thrifted" item!

Your little vase is like one I have that I dug up long ago in an old dump in Pleasant Valley, but mine is missing part of its base. Nice finds! Love T
