Shameless Self Promotion!

I have just added a whole range of items to my Etsy Shop and with the holidays fast upon us, I thought you might like to do a little shopping there, instead of braving the mall next week.

Since Nate Berkus has decided to title me “Treasure Hunter”, I’ve been busy treasure hunting so that you don’t have to! I am willing to make the sacrifice of picking through dusty bins and checking out the hidden treasures just for you. {grin}

Seriously though… I have found some really fun items for you, like this classic blue and white transfer-ware casserole dish or soup tureen. It’s a sweet piece with great lines. Your bar cart would get a classical boost with this vintage Penguin Ice Bucket from West Bend. It has Bakelite handles on the sides and on the lid. There are funny little penguins marching around this ice bucket, probably searching for their cocktails. Doesn’t everyone want life delivered up on a silver platter? This one is huge – 20 inches from tip to tip. It has a Gothic font “S” monogram in the center and weighs a ton. It’s marked on the back with a hallmark from Sheffield, England and probably dates from the early 1900s.

These were my favourite thing that I put up for sale. They’re wonderful candleholders with wee cherubs holding a torch and a laurel wreath. I even got a great picture of one. But here’s what they both look like. Sorry, they’ve already sold.Enough of this… Go check out my shop. There’s plenty there for everyone and I am adding more and more each day, including several sets of the fabulous French Ivory knives and forks, including a set with either an M or a W monogram. Oh, just one more thing… If you’d like to join me on the Holiday Shop Hop, drop me an e-mail. I am limiting the group to about 15 people, and we’re getting close to that number. Any more than that, it’s too hard to manage and I don’t get a chance to get to know everyone.
