Tina's Collection Of Beads

In my sister Tina's newly remodeled master bathroom, she has created an absolutely fabulous display of her beads, along with their wonderful vintage pottery holders.
I suppose the pictures can pretty much speak for themselves, and I think you will see what I mean:
 Some of the holders are flowers:

 But there are some birds, too:
Her beaded necklace collection is pretty spectacular, right?
 And then, these wooden beads (most of the others are glass) are all hanging on the back of the door:
 A shot of all three:
 There are even birds for holding scissors:
 Here's another....
 And a scissor-holding flower, as well!
I found this photo of one of the "Jewel-Flower" holders on eBay, along with it's original box.
These lovely items were created by The Artist's Barn in Fillmore, California.
See - it says "hang by sink, basin, or dressing table", and that is precisely what she has done - in a very grand fashion!
I'm pretty sure no one back then ever imagined that sixty-five years later, there would be such an array of them adorning an appreciative super-collector's home!
Tina, I LOVE the way they look, they are absolutely splendid!

  4. I don't have any idea who wrote the previous comment, but it is very sweet of you to care; thank you! I've just been too busy to post and Tina has had ongoing computer issues. Some day I will get back to it, though - that's a promise, and it is nice to feel that we are missed.
