Bonjour...or perhaps bon nuit? Beautiful people!
I hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas season!
I'm still running around like crazy trying to get things done/or undone...as the case may be, so I've only got a few little pretties to share with you this week.
As always I'll start with my favorite ......what appears to be a small vintage potpourri bottle found in a local antique store......Actually I have no idea what this bottle is actually for? It has openings at the top so can't be perfume....But anyhoo I don't care!...... It's got cherub angels!! Lol!
I think it's probably German? (no markings) It's hand painted with sweet little flowers on both sides and nothing really grand, but for $6? What angel lover could walk away? I wouldn't even put it down whilst I walked around the antique store! Just gripped it tightly in my greedy little hand! *winks*
Here's a close up on the cute little guys.
For now it's living with the lovely ladies on my bedroom dresser.
Then on to favorite find #2 this small Marie Antoinette powder or cream jar from the 1940's for $10 found in the same antique mall. She'll be joining my other Marie beauties. I have a crazy obsession for all things Marie! *winks* How about you?
And in the same booth space this silvered (1920's?) perfume bottle was $12.50. Reminds me of old mercury glass which I adore!
This little German (?) boy was only $3.99 at the local Value Village. I couldn't resist the pink!
Even if he does have yellow eyes *winks*
I found this alpine style Bavarian birdhouse at the Goodwill. There's a hole in the back for the birdies to get in and out. I'm not sure if I should keep this one or not?
This 1940's sacred heart holy water font was also a VV find for $2.99.
Close up
And last is this tiny limoge dollhouse plate with frolicking cherubs for $8. It's only about two inches wide. Isn't it adorable?!
I'm showing it here with my Marie boudoir doll to give you an idea of its size. It sure packs a lot of detailed ca-ute for it's diminutive size doesn't it?
Well that's all for this week. What do you think? Are there any items I should've left at the store... before my house turns into a hoarders (french style) episode? *winks*?
I'd LOVE to hear from you!
I hope you'll come back next week for some more shopping fun!

Vanna, I can never miss an episode of your frolicking cherubs. I love the holy water fellow the best. I say buy what you love and make no apologies. hugs♥O
Looks like you got some great buys. Another antique mall closed here recently - bad economy has really taken its' toll. Sadly, so many of the vendors were trying to pay off their car or mortgage with a couple of sales.
Hope you enjoyed the Holidays.

FAA Vanna. I think your smallest find is my favorite. The tiny cherub plate is adorable. Have a Happy New Year my friend.

I have so enjoyed your treasures this year and look forward to another great year of Nortwest treasures
Vanna I got to go thrifting at a few stores while in AZ and I gotta tell you they didn't have anything like you are showing here! I sure wish they did so I could do a "I wanna be like Vanna" post!
Love your finds!
Happy New Year friend!

It looks like you are on the hunt for "pretty" stuff too. I have to look at your blog too.
My dear Vanessa, How do you do it? You just find the very best stuff!!! Happy happy New Year xo
You are just so good in finding treasures, Vanna. I love everything you found this week and they have the best values. I hope you all have a Happy New Year!...Christine
There is no way you should have left any of those goodies at the store! Your finds are all awesome treasures.
Hi Vanna, I always look forward to seeing your beautiful treasures. You always seem to find the prettiest and most unusual things. Thank you for linking to my party and I hope you have a wonderful New Years!
xoxo,

Look at all your fabulous finds, Vanna...and such great prices, too! Just beautiful goodies!
Wow, you got some great treasures. Loved looking at them. I love anything "angels" too. Susan
Michelle it's so nice to "see" you! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and a very HAPPY NEW YEAR to you! Vanna
Hi Vanna, you always find the most beautiful things. I think my house was beginning to look like a hoarders episode, I have started taking my pretties out and putting them in my unfinished cottage, at least that way I can still enjoy them when I get my cottage finished and can keep my house from being so cluttered. Wishing you a Happy New Year!!!
hugs~~~ Daphne
Yay, Vanna! If you are on an episode of "Hoarders French Style" I would like to be in the "clean-up" crew! :O) I absolutely adore the tiny little plate and your favorite is so beautiful, too! I wonder if it was meant to hold hair pins? It's interesting whatever it may be! Thank you for sharing. Big hugs, Janice
Hi Vanna,it was such a joy for me to visit your blog. Love your amazing finds and the prices are pretty good! Wishing you a Happy New Year!!!
Vanna, your flea market finds never fail to brighten my day!
