New Finds

 I've been in a slump for several days. I've started a few projects and have completed none. I have however been shopping! Shopping is my therapy, when I'm sad I shop, even if I don't actually buy anything, it makes me feel better to be around beautiful things. I even love going on virtual shopping trips with fellow bloggers. Post that take us along to flea markets and fairs make me really happy. Since I don't have a completed project  to share I thought I would show you some of my new thrift store purchases.  The first thing is this pretty tiered tray.

The scalloped edge is so pretty. It looks like milk glass and that makes me very happy.

I also found a new tureen, insert happy dance! I have a thing for white tureens with pretty shapes. This is marked Calif H16 USA. I don't know much about the maker but I've seen similar tureens on various auction sites. They are selling them for considerably more than the 4 bucks I paid for this.

I love the  handles on the sides and top, they look like vines.I also found a bowl or tureen that may have had a top at one time. It has pretty scrolling on the handles and a cute pedestal. It's marked  Laveno Italy since 1866, again I have no knowledge of this maker, I just liked the shape.

I've been looking for a vintage mirrored vanity tray and finally lucked up and found one for 1.99. It was gold and I painted it in Pink Sea Salt by MS paints.

I guess I should be more careful about reflections in mirrors. The chalkboard reflection makes the tray look dirty lol.  Well I hope you like my purchases and if anyone knows anything about the makers of my tureens please share. I'll be joining these parties this week;
