ChristmasBeads

These colorful mercury glass Christmas tree garlands were another find from our weekend of stoop sales.  Our tree is decorated with mostly vintage ornaments every year.  I love the faded jewel tones and intricate details of vintage ornaments.  Ada and Josie are quite ‘helpful’ when it comes to tree decorating, so I only pay a few dollars at the most for an ornament.  These beads will fill in the empty spots quite nicely and we paid $5 for 11 9-foot strands.  Bargain!  Ebay has some pretty examples here if you would like to start stocking up for the winter holidays ahead of time.

We are off on a family vacation for the week, so I will be out of touch for the next few days.  We are visiting one of my all-time favorite indoor flea markets, and I will report back on any great finds.  (I have a long list that we are searching for).  Have a wonderful Memorial Day!

Stirrers

The neighborhood stoop sales were especially good this past weekend.  We barely made it to Ada’s school festival because we kept returning to the estate sale of a former set designer from New Orleans.  The sale was full of vintage Christmas ornaments, beads and glassware.  I found these stirrers for $.50.  The beaker is from a different sale and has pretty numbers etched into the glass.  It set us back $1.  How I love a good stoop sale!  We have been collecting nicer pieces for our “bar” (a shelf in the kitchen at the moment).  Chris likes to mix up a cocktail in one of his grandparents’ tumblers when we watch Mad Men.  (And he has been making me a virgin ginger beer version).  Everything tastes better when it is sipped out of a fancy glass.
