Vintage finds me

PhotobucketOne of my newest vintage finds, I just couldn't say no to! In the back of an antique shop , from 1931 this old certificate of baptism, it has the prettiest rose and depictions of jesus on it, I just love it ! It now resides in my studio, just like this! Look at the roses, there gorgeous and very shabby chic .

And a rare find, I think ... These darling little dolly watches on there original cards, one still in the package and priced for 5cents . Ilove vintage dolls, so when Ii find vintage doll acessories like this, I get so excited!! I just love these and have them displayed now in my home , these were only 1.00 a piece!! YIP~ EEE!!! I would have paid more for them becasue there so cute!
PhotobucketIsn't this the prettiest vintage shoe bag you ever seen??!! I do! I love it ,and it is just perfect for my studio with it's pale colors and being a beautiful vintage fabric which I just love! I got this from my darling friend Jenny! We do shows together a few times a year, like a flea market style , so fun and I collect everyweek for these events , always shopping for goodies to fill my spaces with!So thats kind of my new thing going on! Anywho, when I seen this I just had to have it!! As you can see I've started to fill all the pockets!

PhotobucketAnd another pretty vintage jewelry box to fill up with vintage goddies like rhinestones! I love the velvety inside and satin . It also came with the original key inside the envelope shown there. It's a very pretty blue.These are just some of the little vintage finds I love finding!!
