New Treasures

  Thought I'd show you my new lamp today....

and another treasure I just found.

So above is the top of the pole lamp I just got.

 I think it is a kerosene lamp, and there is still wick in it too.

Wonder what the glass part looked like.

(of course they are always the first to get broken).

Anyone know anything about these old lamps?
Just found out from one of my readers,
this is an Aladdin lamp, pre 1952.
Here is link if interested in reading more.
Thank you Granny Sue for this great info.

 Here is the base.

Isn't it wonderful too??

And here is my next treasure today...

Can you tell what it is?

Does this help??

Probably not, but love this old leather handle.

OK. Now I'm sure you have guessed it.

Yep. A vintage Victor speaker.

(is Victor short for Victrola??) =)

Hope you enjoyed my treasures today.

Oh, here is just a little something I made 3 years ago..

I really only added the song title across the top 

to a free graphic from

My Little Raggedy Blessings.

She makes the cutest things,
and and also does wonderful graphics she
lets us have them all to use for our art.

Do hope you will go visit.

Be blessed every one and have a great week.

Estate Sale Finds

Seems lately all I have done is taxes, and shop.
My brain is too tired, and muddled right now to create,
so hope you don't mind me showing you my wonderful finds.
(better than me showing you my taxes.) =)

I hit a great estate sale this weekend.
Love these porch lights, with or without the glass.
Great bird nest holders, or maybe hang on the wall and put candles in.

At the estate sale, there was a big pile of 'stuff'.
I was surprised when I asked, they said I could dig though it.
(they were hoping someone would buy the whole pile for $20,
and haul it off. I told them my husband would probably shoot me if I did that,
or at least take me to the funny farm.)

So I dug through best I could with a pulled muscle
on one arm and hurt shoulder on the other.
Pictures to come as we get things cleaned up.

Here is a great find.
Not from the pile. =)

I thought maybe it was a lamp base.

wonderful piece.

But this is the top.
Base too small for a table I think.
Any ideas what it might have been?

Found this old rusty cement trowel in the pile.
Wonderful color of green.

And one of my favorite pieces from this sale,
this old leather bag.
It is stamped "made in Italy" for J.C. Penney.
I thought it was a Pony Express bag at first.
It looks really old.
All the straps are missing, but it is still so
fun to decorate with.

Thanks for coming by.
Hope I get these taxes done soon
so I can create again.
