Several weeks ago, I responded to a post on Michelle of 3rd Eye Muse's blog. I was so fortunate to win the above wonderful prize of teeny tiny origami cranes and Michelle also included a couple of little bags of tiny shells, and one of her Goddess Spirit dolls. The cranes and shells were packed into the delightful green sectioned box shown above. If you click on the post link above, it will take you to her tutorial on how to make these wonderful little cranes (which were made into charms). I don't know how she does it as they are SOOOOOO tiny! They are also incredibly pretty. Thank you so much Michelle, I love everything you sent!
THE SCORE
I've been to a couple of estate auctions recently. One was a disappointment, however the second one was excellent. Some of my finds included:
*A Small Collection of Vintage/Antique Purses*
Detail of the petitpoint embroidery on the black silk crepe purse
(gorgeous isn't it!) I want to take some cleaner to the silver chain link purse, I think it will look wonderful when cleaned up
*Some 30s/40s Snoods and Early 1900 Pictures from a Calendar*
The actresses pictured above, from L to R are: Kathryn Williams, Blanche Sweet and Lillian Walker
*Edwardian Wire Wall Basket and Glasses Case*
The wall pocket/basket may be Victorian, however I can't find any examples of anything like it on the internet. If anyone has any information, please let me know as I'm very curious about this piece.
*Edwardian Vanity Tray and Brush*
I love this set! The lace and petitpoint embroidery under the glass of the tray and the brush is so dainty and pretty! I had to have it!
I also got some handmade antique lace, an Edwardian biscuit barrel and a couple of items of antique/vintage clothing - none of which were handy when I was taking pics and I was a too lazy to run up the stairs and get them.
I love auctions, they are so much fun!
