For just $60.00 Vintage 50s/60s village candles, two house or store candles and a church candle, handpainted and well preserved although secondhand. Oh how these village houses remind me of “The Christmas Carol” and years gone by. I have taken the pictures so that all views can be seen, one spot is worn off the black and the bottoms are little worn, please before purchasing check the pictures over and ask me for more if unsure. Well onto the candles. The church with the red roof is 6” by 3” by 2 1/2” The grand green house is 6” by 2 3/4” by 2 3/4” The elaborate blue house is 6” by 2” by 2 1/2” Handpainted and attention to detail, observe the fretwork on the green house, amazing work. I would love to have a whole village but these are hard to find. They will however be a nice display for your entrance way with lights and angel hair, on the mantle with lights and greenery or a dining room display. Definitely candles from days gone by. A great gift for those who love old fashioned Christmases or for those who are looking to recreate a vintage Christmas , creating memories for your children and to tuck away every year to be brought out years later when your children gather for Christmas and memories are revisited. Christmas is coming....

Stunning vintage pinwheel crystal Vase weight 3 pd Spring flowers are coming and a beautiful vase of cut flowers is a must for the gardener

For just $60.00 Stunning vintage pinwheel crystal Vase weight 3 pd Spring flowers are coming and a beautiful vase of cut flowers is a must for the gardener. A stunning heavy crystal vase with the pinwheel crystal cut into it, the quality of the crystal shines through. The vase measures 9” tall 4” across the top of the vase and 2 1/2” across the bottom. There is no chips or cracks and is in excellent shape. I have several crystal vases, they were my passion for awhile while I grew flowers , I since have started growing herbs but miss the beautiful display of flowers. I am very lucky to live by the forest where one can quickly pick ferns, Lillie’s and other fillers. There is nothing more pleasurable to grow your own flowers and display them around your house, hence the different shapes and sizes of vases. I have found glass frogs very handy at times when making a display of flowers. Roses, carnations, zinnias, Lillie’s, the first cheery blossoms off of my neighbours tree, tulips , daffodils and much more. Bows popped in to fit into the arrangement to suite the season or display. It seems people are putting Christmas bulbs in a vase, crystal is a must and wrapping little mini lights around the bulbs. This opens up a whole new way to display your crystal. Spring is coming and so is mother’s day.

For just $11.95 The Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation (EAPC) Star of David , split side, serving dish ,10" by 6" by 1" each side is about 3" wide. History - The Anchor Hocking Glass Corporation (EAPC) first began manufacturing its glassware in 1960 but slowly petered out and was shut down in the late 70's except for the popular cream and sugar sets and cruets, finally he it shut down for good in the late 1990's. The pattern was nicknamed "Star of David" and is the only true EAPC pattern which Anchor Hocking produced although you may come across patterns that are similar to it. Another Anchor Hocking Star Of David serving dish, This dish has a glass section in the middle to separate items, I have been told people put relish in it but I can see it been used more for nuts, candies, shrimp, or anything you want.

Italian made , vintage, Hammered , Aluminum, ice bucket, with interesting round rings

For just $14.95 An Italian made hammered aluminum ice bucket with round ring handles. The ice bucket is in great shape, although a small dent and a little blackening. Shabby chic for sure. Doesn't look like this ice bucket was used very much, maybe at the beginning of the marriage and the sharing of the champagne but then the kids came and it had to be tucked away incase they decided to use it as a hat for the family dog. A nice addition to a man cave, a home bar or for special dinners when there is champagne. Being 6' by 6" it is just the right size, not to big, not to small. I, myself , use items like this to grow plants in, yes shame on me, put items in the kitchen so they are close by. Pens and pencils, canes and umbrellas, a million ideas with a little bit of history..
