I'm still in Arizona...it's cool, wet and raining! But I'll bet the desert will be in full bloom with beautiful golden poppies, purple owl clover and pink penstemon this spring if this keeps up.
I started to collect the old mercury ornaments last winter just before Christmas. I LOVE this stuff...I mean I REALLY LOVE this stuff! I piled carefully placed most of it on the floor before I left so that I'd have a Christmas type post while I'm here.
For Kathleen's White Wednesday a few silver mercury glass, old tinsel garland, glass bead garlands and a few vintage bottle brush wreaths...
As much as I love the silver...I love all of this color too...
I found a blue glass bead garland that was still in it's wrapper from way back...I'll just leave it that way.
I love these gold star burst type ornaments made in Japan, most all of these are either Japan or a few are from Germany.
The large purple Silent Night along with most of the larger ornaments were found at a yard sale here last spring, a big box full for $3!
Okay, I think I have enough now that I see it all piled up like this....no more unless it's a really cheap price! This little collection looks like it got out of control when I see it like this!!!!!
I also made a couple of trips to my favorite junk man here in town and I found some treasures. I have to leave them here until I drive back in a couple of months but I'm going to take pictures and post about it after Christmas. Good thing this guy has no clue about the stuff us girls like! I really got some awesome cheap deals that I can't wait to show you.
Until next Tuesday....hope you all have most of your shopping finished!
Thanks for stopping!
