Yesterday Jeff & I spent the day antiquing... Let me tell you ~ NO SUN & WET/SLEET-LIKE SNOW MIX made even antiquing HARD TO ENJOY!!! There's definitely something to be said for SUN... By days end, I did net a good number of Finds - but we ended up canceling our last stop - we both wanted to GO HOME... My Finds are yet to be unwrapped... We woke up to SNOW this morning - MORE coming later today & tonite!!! ~ OMG!!! In the meantime, enjoy "Some Sparkling Bling" from SaLes Past!!! - Things to look for come Spring!!!
Although the Tri-Mirror and girandole candelabras are "long-gone" - I enjoy visiting this photo every so often...
GliSteNinG Bling!*!*!
These candelabras were true beauties with garlands of old prisms & star burst flowers near the top...
I LoVe OLD darkened wires on prims...
Center Stamens like this "unscrew" from the flower... Many a time you'll find them missing...
I passed up a reasonably-priced Tri-Mirror yesterday, only because it did not have "Etching"...
My Love with Tri-Mirrors: Silver-Loss Patina, Chippy Frame, & Etching Design are a must...
This was yet another true beauty - the candle holders were made of wood... I just recently SOLD the architectural piece with garlands at the last Grayslake Antique Flea Market in Illinois a couple weeks ago...
Great side profile...
I'm ready to say GOODBYE to Winter!!!
One GOOD thing for YOU - with weather like this - IT MAKES ME START PULLING MY PERSONAL SHABBIES OFF OUR WALLS AND TAGGING THEM "FOR SALE"!!!
