As I mentioned here, I was itching to start collecting something.
Once I settled on the "something" I wanted to collect, the hunt began.
Here are my first three finds.
The small emerald green vase in the front was found at a thrift store.
I bought the two taller ones in the back at a local outdoor antique show.
Until I have enough to at least sparingly fill this antique cabinet, they will reside on top.
I do have a few requirements for my new collection.
- Must be a green or green blue color
- Must be interesting to me
- Must be reasonably priced (under $50)
Again, here is my inspiration....
Here are a few I found on ebay that I would love to add to the collection.
However, the hunt is the most fun for me.
So clicking "Buy it Now" on ebay doesn't quite do it for me.
While I am generally a very impatient person,
I am committed to taking my sweet little time amassing this collection.
Your off to a good start Andrea! I love the one up front!
ReplyDeleteI love the thrill of the hunt too Andrea. It's what makes thrifting and antiquing so much fun. I'll keep my eye out for you.
ReplyDeleteso pretty! what a great choice for a collection- it will add some nice color!
ReplyDeletevery pretty. love that color green.
ReplyDeleteSoon, you'll be finding green pieces everywhere you look! It's amazing what starting a collection can do - before you now it, you'll be calling hoarders!

I agree that buying on ebay or anywhere online takes the fun of the hunt out for stuff like this. Some things I will buy online but some things I just want to find when I'm out and about sometime!!
ReplyDeleteLove the inspiration and I would say you have a wonderful start :)
