Piney Rose - Silver Sunday #4

My silvers for today are:

1. A silverplate tidbit tray



2. A pretty square silver box I found in a junk store. I love the textured design on it. I have no idea what it was used for.

Silver Sunday #3

Here is a little silver spoon brooch that I found several years ago -



I found this little cup in an antique store just this week - It was marked 50% off, and I got it for $2.50. I love the little trophy style handles.

....and some darling silver glitter hearts I purchased from Wren Cottage.

Hope you enjoyed a few of my silver things today.

Silver Sunday #2

For today, I would like to share:

a mercury glass vase I found in a junk shop for $2 - I just love how the silver is chippy.

I love tarnished silver - here is a footed dish that holds my vintage glass doorknobs.....

and this is a little dish that holds some vintage rhinestone napkinrings.

My art bottle is featured for Brag Monday, and some unique apothecary jars

I am so thrilled that one of my ocean-themed art bottles is featured on Brag Monday today at Graphics Fairy. I love using images from Karen's site. I just finished another one pictured here.


This weekend I also made these unique footed apothecaries by bonding jars to pieces of a vintage chandelier. One has already sold.

Silver Sunday

My only piece of antique Staffordshire silver lustre - I must get more.

What treasures do you suppose we will find in 2010?

Do you wonder, like I do, what treasures await us this upcoming year? Little treasures at yard sales, thrift stores, antique shops....Can't wait! My hubby says the first sign of spring is the Daytona 500, but to me - it's the first outdoor yard sale. I think I'll just keep busy working on a few creations until then. I have been making few new tags and such, and I've got some ideas churning for using coffee filters....did you know that Somerset Life has an upcoming challenge for creations using coffee filters? Cannot wait for that issue to see what everyone comes up with.

Merry Christmas!

A very Merry Christmas to all!
