Here's Lookin' at You, Kid.......


If you read my Monday post you know that LuLu of
Coastal Sisters came to visit me.
And, if just getting to meet her was not enough,
Just look what she made for me.
Stunning, gorgeous, and mine....all mine.
Absolute decadence.
She makes beautiful jewelry that can be yours as well.....
Pay her a visit when you get a chance....:) 

And as long as we are talking about opulence,
I just have to share what came into the Shoppe today.
Lovely rhinestone opera glasses......
Probably date to the early 50's...



 

Along with a pair of 14k gold chatelaine glasses.
                                       
And how wonderful are these.  

 But the pie'ce  de re'sistance  is this pair of 14k gold chatelaine glasses
 Wonderful detailed fretwork and filigree designs...
 And lenses as small as nickels
Let's me know there are still wonderful things out there waiting to be found.

Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.

Finding the Honeyhole......

The second Le'Pre'miere Quarterly is slated for June 25th.
This is the showcase where I feature things that have never been for sale in the Shoppe....
And that is not an easy feat.
The Shoppe is open five days a week and there is just me.
On my two days off I spend doing things at home
In order to maintain some sort of balance and
To keep my family happy  :)

I have to plan and also make the most of my "shopping time"
Hoping wherever I decide to go that day will bring me the results I am needing.
and
Today it did.
Two stops within two hours netted me the pieces below.

The beveled mirror on this vanity is original and gorgeous.
One of the nicer pieces like this I have found.
not the usual Formica top, but solid wood and a beauty.
A new paint finish will bring it back to life.



 Much larger than the less expensive ones as well.


 And how can you pass up a chest  of this style.....perfect for any room.


 Then there's the sweet French lingerie chest......
Once it receives a new paint finish it should be just beautiful.

Not bad for a morning's hunt and
A good finish for June 25 Le' Pre'miere....
The rest is almost completed and stored,
But you have to wait until the event to see what we have.

Thanks for stopping by today,
You know I love it when you come.
