So this is the updated ashtray stand.  I painted it, added painted clay flower pots and plants.
New use for this stand that was missing ashtrays.

Upcycling Vintage Ashtray Stand

I purchased this astray at a flea market and I plan to turn it into a plant stand. I am in the process of cleaning it and will paint it and add painted clay pots. The after pictures will be posted soon!!

Mid-Century Lane Coffee Table

I have been lucky to come across a few really nice Mid-Century furniture pieces.  My daughter is very into this furniture style and I now keep my out for it.  This is a beautiful Lane Coffee table in the Perception design.  This is the second Lane coffee table I have found in the last month.  I also have another great piece I will be posting soon!

McCoy Lost Glaze Teapot and Saucer

So today after stopping off at the Varage sale (neighborhood on-line garage sale) meet, (picking up some vintage McCall's magazines), I went to a nearby thrift store.  I found a number of items but the one that I chose to post today is a McCoy teapot & saucer.  At first I did not notice the mark on the bottom.  But after further checking I did find the McCoy mark, I think it was more difficult to see due to the design.  I had never seen a glaze design like this, to me it is not typical McCoy.  After more research I found this is called the Lost Glaze. What a beauty!!
I found this description on another listing:
"This teapot was produced by McCoy shortly before the plant burned down in the late 1940's. It had a limited production and was not produced again or reproduced. That is why it is known as the Lost Glaze line."

Kafin New York Necklace

On Thursday I went to the Golden Nugget flea market and to Lambertville, NJ with my mom and brother.  We shopped the flea market and the lovely shops in town.  We had a great day!
At the flea market I did make a few purchases.  My mom laughs at me because I always find something!
I found a Kafin New York necklace.  It has multi-strand gold tone chains of different styles holding a lovely disc pendant.  The pendant is filigree with gem stones.  Just love it!

Vintage Windows Repurposed

I have quite a few old windows and look for ways to repurpose them.
On this first one, I took vintage wrapping paper and decoupaged pieces on each pane.

I took this window that is worn and dingy and added a lovely lacy doily that I stiffened and attached like a valance.  I love the look!

More to come!!

Brass dog bottle opener

I found this neat bottle opener at a thrift store in Wildwood, NJ.  It's an unusual brass standing dog opener.  Even on vacation I search for thrift stores and yard sales!  Can't help myself.
