My Love for Vintage Glass Christmas Ornaments

Is it because they represent the charm of Christmases past?

Or, most likely, those with whom we shared them?

Vintage glass ornaments warm my heart!

Wishing you a merry, vintage Christmas!

Eerie Antique Halloween Photographs

These antique photographs from decades back

show creepy Halloween costumes of the time.

There's something unnerving about them, isn't there?

Kind of makes your skin crawl.

Particularly unsettling in black and white or sepia tones.

Bone-chilling, eerie, haunting.

Collections: Unusual Vintage Padlocks

Sometimes it's just fun to see some vintage curiosities.

In this case, old antique padlocks in odd shapes and designs.

Unusual and decorative, function meets art.

Collections: Vintage Buttons

Many of us have our mom's or grandmother's old buttons,

often stored in cookie tins or mason jars.
I have childhood memories playing with my Granny's stash,
 sifting them through my fingers
sorting by color or size, lining them up.
dazzled by the fancy ones!

Vintage buttons are very collectible, as you'll see

with the variety of groupings here.

Antique bits from the past made of glass, celluloid,

pearl, bakelite, metal, or wood; each is a tiny treasure.
