Last week's brocante finds

Just in case you didn't see enough brocante finds yesterday, here are the photos of last week's little treasures ;-). Some I just have to keep, some will be for sale. 

Again, just in the order I have them in my file, alphabetically :-)

This stunning Art Deco light fixture is amazing. I love the colour, the stylized design, the bubble glass, the shape, the silk thread covered knobs, everything about it -

I bought this sweet little bag together with a gorgeously frothy petticoat. The lady I got them from told me that the petticoat had been worn under a wedding dress. So very 50s! The purse was part of the wedding outfit as well -

Big bellied enamel jug, white with deep blue trim -

Bird scarer, I love the sound it makes, the dogs and I had fun with it - 

A huge book of many editions of the L'Ouvrier, a French 'journal' with so many marvellous illustrations -

This gilded candelabra is just magnificent. It weighs a ton - 

And this, this is just out of this world gorgeous, a magnificent French chandelier. I think they drops are crystal rather than glass, again, this thing is heavy -

And finally, after all these years, I managed to find two antique cheese molds, hurrah -

This little clock stole my heart, it is so sweet. Beautiful gilding around the edges, bevelled glass, the most delightful floral design -

Beautiful old fabrics. Silks, damask, embroidered nets -

The biggest glass flower frog I have ever seen -

Very old clay flower pots, so much nicer than today's plastic ones -

Can you believe it, for years I didn't find any at all, and last week I managed to find another one of these really rare antique jelly jars, woohoo -

Sadly, once again, no lace other than this little box with bits and a few pieces of lace. Mostly machine made early 20th C, and a couple of handmade ones -

A macaron box in the most delicate light pink, fabric top, sweet braid trim, and pink paper, faded and a little marked, but so delightfully French -

Beautiful old religious medals, some silver -

And this is the 1950s wedding petticoat I mentioned earlier! Big and flouncy, still so nice and stiff to hold the shape of the dress, and beautifully embroidered -

Another beautiful madonna plaque with an ornate holy water font. Should the wood be left as is or painted antique white? Decisions, decisions -

I found another roll of beautiful shelf trim! Different design from the last one. I love the richness of the gold against the ivory background -

This sweet little La Parisienne tin is the most amazing shade of blue -

Now, this I think is almost my favourite item from last week. A 1920s, maybe 30s, wallpaper sample book from Paris. So very Art Deco. What a wonderful look at how the Parisiens decorated their homes in that fabulous era.

And lastly, two classy wine tasting cups -

If you have lasted right through this post, then you are probably in need of a cup of coffee or tea right now, lol. I sure am. Thanks for staying with me ;-). 

Must get into my craftavan now. Toodlepip xxx
