Weekly Finds

This week I came across some awesome finds and a few of them I would love to keep. 

I truly intend to sell everything I buy [at least that’s what I say out loud] but sometimes…..

Awwww… how can I part with this? It’s so adorable and I love the patina on it.

A unique Couroc plate and tray

Bakelite material, embedded wood, plastic and other items make them so creative and different.  They no longer make them - I think they would be the beginning of a great collection but I really have too many collections started as it is. [I know I'm not the only one, riiiight??]

and this chipped-paint two-tiered metal & glass shelf

My Mom gave me this purse to sell for her  

She's had it for years and I've been dragging my feet to put it in my shop.  I get so attached to anything that has to do with my parents.  But, she gave me a purse my great aunt bought her when she was a young girl so I suppose I'm sated.  

My Mom knows me so well. She probably figured if she shakes the shiny pretty thing with one hand I won't see what she's getting rid of with the other.... 

Admittedly [like a toddler] this still works on me!
