{ coming soon }

Good morning sweet friends, 

I hope everyone is starting this week off well.

I had a very productive day yesterday, and today,

I have a few new items coming to my shop

and I wanted to give you a sneak preview.

First I have this lovely vintage glass cloche on a painted wood base.

This item can no longer be used for food because of the paint,

but it is perfect for displaying and protecting small treasures,

like the ones shown in the photos below.

Next I have this very old stoneware pitcher made by 

Robinson Ransbottom Pottery,  or R. R. P.  Roseville Pottery Co., of Roseville, Ohio.

This company has been making pottery since the early 1900's, and has just recently gone out of business.

That makes this piece very special, in that no more will every be made like it.

I'm not quite sure of the age of this piece, but it is definitely vintage.

This lovely pitcher measure a generous 8 inches tall, and makes a perfect vase.

Lastly I have what else....more glassware.

I'm having a hard time sharing this little beauty, { you know how I am about glass }.

This is an old vinegar bottle, but I think it makes a lovely little bud vase.

I am in love with the little details on the handle and around the neck.

This is a very lovely example of old glass.

I hope you'll forgive me for not sharing more interesting things,

but I am still in the midst of some major spring cleaning and work around my house.

I have had very little time to be truly creative.  I hope sometime soon to get caught up

and back in the groove of creative and more interesting blogging.

Until then though, you'll have to indulge me while I share shop talk with you.

Have a wonderful week.

*peace & love*

So ladies here's the thing.

I shop, it's what I do.  

Consider me a personal shopper.

I shop for me, I shop for you,

{if you visit my little etsy shop}.

Sometimes I find amazing treasures.

Herein lies my ongoing dilemma.

If I love it can I keep it,

Or is it my duty to share?

Here are a few of the 

GOODIES

I found today.

first I found this pretty little glass carafe

{ glass is my weakness }

then there was this little lovely

more glass {{ squeals of excitement }}

and this mid century glass canister.

{ more glass }

later, I found this cute little guy

{ ceramic, kinda glass }

when I got home,

I found this pretty glass carafe,

in my china cabinet from a previous

shopping trip.

Another glass carafe found previously.

Then I did this....

This is the arrangement I ended up with.

I think it's quite lovely on my kitchen table.

Much more interesting than the single

uninteresting vase I had there before.

I'm going to justify this keeper 

by saying how hard it is to ship glass.

It's heavy, and it's not cheap...right?!?

Remember that cute little doggie planter

way up there above.

Well, let's just say he probably 

won't be found in my shop anytime soon.

Sorry Gals, but this little fella is mine.

That's my other big crush...

dog figurines. 

{ sitting ones, lying ones, flying ones }

I love them all.

Here he is sitting on my

sweet vintage table,

in front of my ironstone pitcher 

of new and vintage knitting needles.

Right beneath my fantastic new lamp

filled with new and vintage yarns

{ the vintage are from my own great grandmother's collection }

Isn't he just the cutest.

I think so anyway, and I think he's found 

his forever home.

He fits right into my new studio

{ more pics to come of the redo soon. }

Here's to Finders Keepers.

*peace & love*
