This family is really a bunch of packrats but seeing everything that you ladies share has helped me to try to clear up some areas of my home.
I like to find dainty items when I am out and about.
Here is pretty little vase.
One of my favorite lamps. I turn it on in the morning when I am getting ready for work.
A doily that was a gift
A latern that was a gift from my husband
Unique, round nail clippers that I have had for years. A gift from my mother.
An iron that was used by my grandmother. I have it tagged so no one forgets where it came from.
A stained glass rose that my nephew made
Some of the other items I will share another time. Enjoy your day on Friday browsing with everyone as they share here:
Having been employed for a few years by a private refinishing business, I maybe can offer some advice on refinishing your antique furniture. It can be done at home, but it will be a time consuming project, and if you have the time and enjoy it, go for it. If not, you can always have a private refinishing business to strip your furniture for you and save some $ and do the rest yourself. (The way I would go) If you would like to have it fully finished, know that you can purchase a brand new (nice) piece of furniture for what you'll be paying. If you are interested in the project and need advice on how to go about it, feel free to e-mail me. I liked the stained glass rose... :)
ReplyDeleteWONDERFUL pieces. I'm especially intrigued by the nail clippers. They look antique.
ReplyDeleteMy show n tell is offered for viewing, won't you stop by sometime today and keep me company?
Have a terrific Friday and wonderful weekend.
I love the nail clippers.
ReplyDeleteWe also have an old iron like your grandmother used. I believe my mother-in-law picked hers up from an antique shop.
Thanks for sharing,
Brenda
ps....well, if you consider yourself antique then I guess I'm ancient. [kidding!] But I am older than you.
ReplyDeleteI liked the clippers so much, I found myself at eBay searching for round nail clippers already this morning. :o)
I know nothing about refinishing, so I can offer no advice. I'll just admire your treasures. Thanks for sharing. Happy Show and Tell Friday.
ReplyDeleteYour pretties are very special. I love those types of lamps too. I have one in my bedroom but it is not an antique. I do love it though. What a great idea to tag something in such a cute way. I think others might catch on to your wonderful idea.

ReplyDeleteI found the nail clippers particularly fascinating.
Everything is so pretty. I especially like the doily! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog to see my show & tell too. On my Christmas blog(mychristmaskitchen.blogspot.com), under the title "A Simple Ribbon Board" I have instructions for how I made the ribbon board to display the cards.
Stop in anytime!
God bless,

Thank you for visiting me. I love all the things on your dresser but I was especially intrigued by the idea of the tag on the iron. It is something I might do. I have collected some baskets and written on the bottom where they were purchased. I have a collection of favorite recipes in a book and noted where they came from and the first time I made them as well as any other info. I have several items given by friends and handed down by family which I need to tag as you have.
ReplyDeleteMama Bear

I do like those clippers. They bring back a warm feeling. It's been awhile since I've asked to use them, hasn't it?
ReplyDeleteHello,and thank you for stopping by my show and tell. I am so grateful for my sidetable lamp! Such a calming glow! I too like having dear items next to me; a card my children made at school, a good book, a beautiful item to look at, a favorite icon.
