 This peony one is my favourite...I adore it.

 I also found this little tea spoon with a tea pot on the top..don't you think its cute!

A stunning coffee pot with no lid which in my house turns it into a vase...but, some how I don't think it's going to be mine for long as Madison fell in love with it x

A lovely crinoline lady brush, she is so elegant.

This lovely perfume atomiser , etched with fushias.

These cute little cottage salt and pepper pots.

and wallow in the prettiness x

I also found a few items of clothes a brown shrug , a woollen cape and a stunning woollen Monsoon dress in perfect condition , with this lovely  crochet collar.

more treasures

Over the last week I have picked up a few treasures. These little vintage mice are my favourites, I know that they are battered and chipped but it makes me love them even more.
This lovely pink rag rug is now next to my bed and my toes love it in the morning!

How very posh is this toast rack with little dishes for preserves and butter!
And last but not least some wonderful vintage earrings. I have a huge collection of modern costume jewellery but am now concentrating on vintage pieces
And of course all finds should be celebrated with a cup of tea, a slice of cake and some spring daffodils xx
