april vintage

with gardening at the top of my favorite things to do list and the farmers market opening soon, sunshine finally making its way to the days and the light staying longer, i feel more light hearted-- suddenly i become more attuned to color and aromas of the earth.... can't wait to smell the lavender growing in my garden...
here are a few new items celebrating spring that are already in or about to be added to my vintage shop 5gardenias .
1. summer fruit brooch ( celluloid brooch from the 30s-40s )
2. haeger pottery planter ( art pottery from the 50s)
3. wooden dominoes set
4. aqua iris water can vase ( ceramic planter/vase from the 50s)
5. steampunk goggles
6.  lotus flower brooch ( lacy celluloid  from the 1930s)
7. basket case (front loading carrying basket)
8. baby doll frilly apron with satin trim ( 1940s)

  2. I LOVE those celluloid brooches from the 30's and 40's! Those goggles are wonderful...long summer days are next...

    I know what you are talking about, the sunshine coming in at a higher angle...colors taking on a brighter hue, foods tasting all of a sudden better!

    Will go check out your vintage shop!
