Blues, Teas, Rhinestones, and Brooches!

The Fun of the Hunt:
Garage Sales, small town stores, and Goodwill!
What awesome finds this month.
The two handpainted brooches in this post are the ones I mentioned in my previous post.
I just couldn't let them get away! And the blue book is one of 3 childrens books that I found at a local store. Aren't they darling?? One blue, one pink and one lavender.




This teapot is from my mother's collection. I think it's called Windsor. At least that's what is on the bottom of it. The details of the ring of flowers around it is so sweet.
I love all the different colors. It matches my new books!


The 3rd brooch is painted with lavender and purple. It looks perfect perched on the new book.




I have been unusually blessed with the earrings I've found recently. I love the look of rhinestones, and whenever I see some, I get them if they aren't too high priced.
They are so sweet!! I love the way they look, like they could be worn to an evening Symphony performance with a black dress.

These are the marks on the bottom of the teapot. I sure do wish I liked tea....
I'm a coffee person!!

I just found that Kathy is having a new blog party called Victoria Blog Part. It looks to be a wonderful addition to the Tuesday parties and so I'm joining in on the first one!!!

I find that my stack of Victoria Magazines sit in handy places and that I refer back to them constantly...they've become a huge part of my life, and a huge part of why I love the style I do.

Pull out your Vintage copies of Victoria and join in the new party!!

Come and see!!
I'm joining up with a number of people for their weekly parties.
Please come and visit each of the sites below and join in the fun!!
