I have had a little summer holiday from my eBay shop, but have recently added a few items which have been rather difficult to part with. Most of the items are French, and exactly the sort of thing I love to use at home, or at least covet and store away, getting them out occasionally for a stroke or a hug... light fittings, pin cushions, handbags and embroidered textiles ...ooh, I just love them...
A decadent tole ceiling lamp - perfect for a bedroom or hall - 1970s bling!
now sold
a pair of early 19th century French lead & metal lanterns - winging their way to USA as we speak
now sold
A fabulous pair of wall candle holders - SO French! In metal and gesso holders, perfect for any frou-frou setting... now sold
A huge Lourdes rosary - with rustic, raw wood and naively carved rose beads and crucifix, dating from the end of 19thc

Beautiful Pierette pin cushion - I love her wagging finger! Perfect in every way...

Hooray! you have popped up again on my list of blog posts. I did enjoy this post, it is such a fine line between pieces I love to sell and pieces I love to live with isn't it?

it certainly is! I'd love to keep everything, but I'd need a mansion!
ReplyDeleteI love that pair of wall mounted candle holders. Just my ticket. Unfortunately we are over-run by such beautiful things, and really need to start unloading.
ReplyDeleteAnd France is just full of beautiful things...sigh...
DeleteI think my favourite out of those treasures have to be the lovely lanterns. I see they're now sold, I'm sure their new owner will be delighted with them.
ReplyDeleteThey were also very heavy! I loved them too.
