A Few Finds from Virginia...





  Sweet Mya from Elbows on My Windowsill 
said she hoped I would show some of the items that
followed me home from my visit in Virginia and I'm happy to share.

. But first let me say that if you haven't visited Mya's blog click on that link above.  You are in for a delight.  Mya posts some really interesting things...go see what I mean !

If you read my "Where Women Create" post you would see in the photos that I have a bit of silverplate and have been collecting it for some time.  I  have some plans for it and hope to be starting on it soon.
Sooo when I found this pitcher and the footed tray...well they had to come home with me. They are Georgia Silver now  :))





Then I saw this amethyst sandwich tray ... oh me. I looove purple, any shade so this definitely was coming home with me.  It's a keeper.





In one little shop I found these snack trays and cups...eight of them!  I also found several other teacups and a few other bits and bobs.





Loook at this sweet pink bird and rose....gonna have to create a little sumpin' with these babies.






                               
  This is one of my favorite finds... the bottle embossed "E D Pinaud Paris. It's a beautiful shade of amethyst too.  It will probable end up in the "Oooh La La " category at the Scented Cottage Studio web site.  I think I'll add some ribbon and a fleur de lis charm to the neck. 
I love everything I found on my trip and there are one or two things I wish I had bought and didn't.  Funny how I rarely regret something I have bought but often those I didn't ! 

Thank you for visiting me and thanks for your comments, I really appreciate them.  Ya'll come back now!   (())

Love all your Virginia....known as Georgia treasures now Francie especially the purple pieces! Happy happy Birthday sweet lady. :) I am heading back to Through the Garden Gate tomorrow. The part we didn't get to see should be open. Wish you could join me.

All are great, but those two amethyst pieces, the plate and the bottle, are my favorites.

I don't think I've ever seen an old bottle of that hue!

Oh my, what can I say - that was quite a surprise, Debbie. Very sweet of you - thanks.

Thank you also for posting photos of your Virginia prizes. I will be looking at your other blog to see how you decide to use them - the ones you do not decide to keep.

On the 31st, Lynn said Happy Birthday. Is the 31st the actual date or near the date. Well regardless, I hope it was, or is, or will be one of your happiest.
