<\/a>Hello!\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you’ve stopped by in the past, you already know that making jewelry is not my only obsession\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 interest.\u00a0 I’m an antiquing die-hard and bring my camera with me as a rule.\u00a0 So I had the idea recently, why not share a little about the things that I like to search for….those special little treasures that have me looking high and low as soon as I step foot in an antique shop.\u00a0 Although the list is constantly growing, my husband and kids know exactly what these are and join in the challenge.\u00a0 My 2 year old son doesn’t quite understand what Victorian albums are yet, so he’s excited to call out “Mickey Mouse!” when he sees one.\u00a0 Yes, there are plenty of vintage Mickey paraphernalia to be found (for you Disney fans!).\u00a0 I’ll be\u00a0writing “I heart” posts on my many collections in the future.<\/p>\n

When I saw the cover of the Jan\/Feb issue of Victoria<\/a>, I picked it up right away.\u00a0\u00a0 I haven’t bought this magazine in some time, maybe because I’ve cut back on magazines due to a lack of time.\u00a0 Years ago, around my college days, I was a big fan of this Victoria.\u00a0\u00a0 Some of the magazine was a bit stuffy for me, but overall there was just something romantic and dreamy that had me turning the pages.\u00a0 Recently is was the mother of pearl cover that drew me in.\u00a0\u00a0 I love the iridescence and the warm glow that you find in old mother of pearl pieces.\u00a0\u00a0 Here are a few favorites in my collection…<\/p>\n

I’d love to hear what you<\/span> *heart*.\u00a0 Recently Beth Bricker of Vintage Sweets <\/a>shared her collection of engraved spoons in this wonderful\u00a0post.<\/a>\u00a0 You’ll have to visit and see what she planned to do with them (what a fantastic idea!).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0I found myself\u00a0 ooohing and aahing over Beth’s collection, finding it impossible to resist something so sentimental when mixed with tarnished silver.\u00a0 I think I’ll be on the lookout for engraved spoons too<\/em>, thanks to Beth! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
