(We don't have bars on our windows. I have a small iron gate sitting in my kitchen window to try and disguise the ugly aluminum windows. Which is on our re-do list!)
Looking at these pictures and knowing what I have that I didn't show you, I'm thinking I need to revisit the "Basket" post. Ok, I did...it's all good! I have actually sold some of my ironstone and I am more selective with what I buy now. I even gave some of my plates away, never mind it was because I replaced them with better plates. But at least I didn't just stack the new ones on top of the old ones. (Have y'all caught on yet that Mr. E.A. reads my blog and this last paragraph is for him? Really though he does tease me but he never fusses...he loves me..quirkiness and all!!) Don't forget to go check out all the other White Wednesday entries over at Faded Charm.
Isn't it wonderful...I really like this vintage mannequin. It is child size and covered in gray and white ticking. (By the way the big window is sold also.)
I paired this small cloche with a piece of antique bulls eye molding as its base. Inside I put an antique door knob and skeleton key all for one price. I really liked the other cloche on the vintage silver plate compote but as you can see someone else liked it also.
Sorry for the tease but just had to show you the locker baskets. You would have laughed at the HAPPY dance I did when I found these. Truthfully though, I LOVED putting the SOLD tags on these pictures.
Sorry about the blurry picture, my camera's battery was getting low. But I just wanted to show you the pretty aqua bottles I found. The big round one in the back is my favorite. Wouldn't these make great bud vases?
I found ten of these Mail Bags. They were used by the Leonard Peterson & Co., Inc. to actually mail items. I think these would make great small gift bags. You could use the address tag at the bottom for your TO: and FROM: put in a little colored tissue paper and close it up with the draw string at the top. All your "Junky" friends would love it!!!!
One last thing for you horse lovers. This is actually an ash tray but could be used on an easel like I have it displayed. It is a signed vintage piece that was cast in aluminum by a famous artist in the 50's.
Thanks for stopping by!
Joyfully,
Elizabeth Ann
You have a wonderful collection of white ironstone. Thanks for sharing. ~~Sherry~~
ReplyDeleteI Love the Vignette in the Window with the little cream pitchers ~ a Perfect W.W. Post.....
ReplyDeleteI almost bought the door knob/cloche thing and love those books with missing covers. If I'd had enough time, I would have bought some more stuff.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of mismatched white dishes too and that doesn't bother me either.
I'll be up next Wed. as that's when my grandson will enter this big world but I'll be at the hospital all day for that. If things ever slow down for me I promise you we're going to get together.

You have a wonderful collection of white ironstone! I love collecting it, too, and found a few more pieces to add to my collection about a week ago. It's funny that you said that about your window... I just mentioned my ugly windows in my post, too (LOL)!
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

Sweet Up-North Mornings...
Wow! Love all of your ironstone! But the childs mannequin is FABULOUS!! Very cool, I'm sure it won't be there long! Happy WW, Theresa
ReplyDeleteSo many pretty things! Wish I could come shop. I never seem to find things like you have. I have been looking and looking for a cloche but haven't found one yet. They must not be popular in our neck of the woods. In fact, I'd never seen them used in decorating until I started blogging a few months ago. Seems "everybody" in the blogging world (other than me) has them!
ReplyDeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteI collect the cream pitchers..they are so cute..how can anyone resist them?♥ I love that all of your dishes and silverware is mismatched. But then again I like the abstract in life and that definitely is cool!
I'm visiting for White Wednesday...even though a bit late! ♥
Happy Day,
Stephanie ♥
