TGITF Friends! We've finally had some weather that feels like fall and I have loved it! Ready for this week's fabulous finds? Several of this week's vintage treasures are from the same estate sale, starting with this gorgeous vintage crystal bead necklace...
It's a keeper--I love the sparkle and all of the iridescent colors of the faceted beads.
Next, I found this lovely French mini candlestick, marked as opal glass. Did you know in the Victorian era, milk glass was first called opal glass?
Here, you can see the Made in France seal on the bottom.
From the same estate sale, I dug through a big box of linens to find this lovely assortment of tea stained vintage doilies.
This English transferware sugar bowl in the Hampshire pattern by Johnson Brothers, is almost identical to another in my collection. Stay tuned--I have plans for the pair!
My last find, this pair of vintage Pyrex bowls is from one of my favorite thrift stores. I haven't come across as much Pyrex as I once did and the price was right for these. Both are the 1.5 pint size and are in excellent condition.
The brown handled one is the 441 bowl... Available
...and the blue is the popular 401 bowl. Available
Until next time, happy hunting!
Great finds for the week. I remember the bowls from childhood.

ReplyDeleteSorry about the delete....it didn't come out right! What I meant to say is the necklace is gorgeous! It will look lovely on you with your hair color.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe it's Friday already. Those are great finds. Especially like the necklace and sugar bowl! What will you do with them? :) Looking forward to visiting soon!

Great finds!! I have a faceted crystal bead necklace similar to your find, it was my grandmothers!
ReplyDeleteYou hit it big!! I LOVE that necklace as I'm a vintage jewelry lover! Those doilies are gorgeous and that vase is beautiful. I think that's my favorite - didn't know about it being called opal glass. It looks a little different than milk glass though but maybe it's the picture. Either way - great find and with the label still there too!!
ReplyDeleteThat necklace is definitely a keeper. It is so pretty. All of you finds are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your wonderful finds at Snickerdoodle.
DeleteLove all your finds. That necklace is gorgeous and I always love vintage milk glass!
ReplyDeleteLove popping in for your Friday finds. Inspires me for weekend thrifting.
ReplyDeleteCecelia,
ReplyDeleteGreat finds!! The beads are lovely!! I have similar ones that were Joe's grand mothers. The milk glass is stunning!! Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and visit!! It is always appreciated!!
Hugs,
Deb
Love the linens and the Johnson Bros bowl!
ReplyDeleteI have my mom's aurora borealis necklace; it was her go to for dress up! Will you try to whiten the doilies, tea dye them all or leave as is? I love the early milk glass with its "skim milk edges." Opal glass is a much more elegant name for it; I bet that's going into your collection!?! Can't wait to see what you do with the sugar bowls.
ReplyDeletePyrex bowls seem to be so expensive around here.

ReplyDeleteHi Cecilia ... you know how to find the most interesting things. I am not a lover of milk glass, but I do love that little opal glass candlestick. I like the Pyrex mixing bowls with the side handles too.
ReplyDeleteGood finds.

Pyrex is nonexistent around here. Love the necklace and bowl. Xo Kathleen|Our Hopeful Home
