Arturo had the day off today and the kids didn’t, so we decided an outing was in order. We began with a wonderful brunch at Victorias Delights in downtown Oxford. The crabby benedict was fantastic (not exactly what I needed after yesterday’s Easter Feast, but I could exercise no self control). After plying my consort with a wonderful meal, I was able to convince him to escort me on an antiquing mission.
The birdsong has had my attention lately as it seems spring has finally arrived, and I'm crazy about colorful objects, so I was immediately drawn to this piece...
It is vintage venetian glass and very evocative of spring. I had to have it.
My favorite items to shop for at these vintage/antique shoppes are embellishments to add to my art pieces. I scored with the following items
Vintage letter and number cards.
Lacy hand-tatted doilies.
These vintage Vera linen kitchen towels won't be embellishments, but may show up on my Etsy as fun decorative pillows. I'll keep you posted.
I love the little ladybug, it is a good gauge when trying to determine the date of her pieces - 1960's - 70's. The ladybug was discontinued in 1976.
