Camera Dump

Every now and then the junk makes it in to the camera but never makes it back out so this is a little catch up.  The quilted satin hatbox is the first one I have found so I had to add it to my collection of lingerie and hankie boxes.  The Portugal plate has already sold at my booth. Shara at Monkeybox identified the little floral containers on the left as cigarette servers. They would be sweet little tea party vases!
This cute little frog has also sold.  I thought the frog and the dish would go together because they are so perfect for each other but I priced them individually and so it goes.

The cute old pillow pattern is listed in my Etsy.  Good golly, I have a mountain of patterns to list.  I can't resist the oldies!  Easy to photograph and list but time-consuming to check.
This big pile of keys has also made it's way to Etsy.  I have so many already so I made a point of not letting them anywhere near my key box - LOL!
These four vintage rattles were a real impulse buy.  Who needs four of the same rattle??  An Instagram reader suggested they would make cute napkin rings so that is how I have listed them in my Etsy, too.  I think they would be adorable shower decorations.

Camera Dump

 This picture has nothing to do with anything other than it is about the only spot in the art room that I would dare show you.  I envy those bloggers who show studios that are curated and decorated with pretty little vignettes.  We flipped a circuit breaker the other day so Husband had to move a bunch of my junk precious treasures to get to the panel box and it is all still heaped on the floor.  I just have pig piles of chaos waiting for my attention.
 This old wooden dough bowl is a favorite recent find.  The black blob inside it is a hat.  I still haven't gotten around to taking the camera in for a check-up.  I don't think the folk art cow is old because it has a label on the belly that says "Beaches".  I haven't gotten anywhere trying to research it because Google finds everything Beaches except what I am looking for. He is missing an ear but I liked the look so picked it up anyway.  Yes, I bought a cow with one ear.
 There is still no shortage of Christmas to be found.  The coloring book has wonderful pictures inside and is unused.
 I was smitten with the wax baby Jesus in this candle.  Oops, I should have cropped out the forbidden plain round Shiny Brite.  At least it is pink.
 I don't think these ornaments are old but I think they are sort of wonderful.
 Another favorite recent find is the old Juice-O-Matic in my favorite Grandma Green.  The round thing in the upper right is a chimney flue cover.
 If you follow me on Instagram then you have already seen the juicer, along with the next three finds.
 Chippy chalkware Madonna.  I picked up the upholstery fabric in the back thinking I would like it better than what I put on my kitchen chairs but now I'm thinking it is probably too thick for the corners.  I adore the pattern so it will stay around and wait to be the perfect thing.
 These darling angels are marked Italy.  They don't necessarily scream Christmas at me so I think I might just let them hang out with me for a while.
THIS is what has been impeding my progress on cleaning up the art room.  I found two big boxes of these horse ribbons and have been working on listing them in my Etsy.  I have sold almost a hundred of them already and I am down to just one more lot to list.  When I brought them home my room smelled like a barn for two days.  A stiff brush and some Febreez works wonders.
For those of you up there in the frozen Northeast, snuggle down and take good care!!
