So I've mentioned I love damask. And I also love toile. And the color pink. And quatrefoil. And tiny dogs (digressing now...) but I REALLY LOVE hobnail milkglass. Love it love it love it. Might possibly want to marry it if Dave hadn't just made me lunch and also helped clean the house on his lunch break. (Seriously. Whatta guy.) So you can imagine my rapture when in the space of one week I found two hobby nobby hobnail lovelies at two different thrift stores!!!
The first was a vase. A gorgeous 12-inch hobnail milkglass vase for just $2.99! *Insert romantic sigh*
The next was a hobnail mirror, so lovely in its oval-iness, so pretty with its nubbly nobs!
I bought it thinking I would put it in the baby's vintage-themed nursery, but once I got it home I wanted it out in the open where I could stare at it all the time! So it found its home above an antique ice-box that has been in Dave's family for generations. Perfect spot!
Jessica,
ReplyDeleteWas wondering what some of your favorite thrift stores are in the Portland area?
I JUST bought the same mirror (had no idea it had such a name) at a yard sale in Coeur d'alene. It isn't up yet, but right now it is holding sophie's bows.
ReplyDeleteHow funny that we bought it at the same time!!! Send me a picture of where you put it after it's up! :)
ReplyDeleteOhhh, those are so pretty, I can't decide if I want them in my own place or not(milkglass). They are pretty and they're ALWAYS in the thrift shops here. Thanks for sharing, I like your site!
ReplyDeletelove love love :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a mirror like that! I like the nobby milk glass too. I think it reminds me of my grandmother - she always had pieces of it. Love the mirror.
ReplyDeleteLove love love the milkglass. That mirror is to die for. I'll be watching for one from now on.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the freebie print out. Love it
