Unique Vintage Wedding Cake Topper

Want a cute wedding cake topper with a retro feel? Yay! I have just the one for you! :)

At first you notice the adorable porcelain couple with flowers and tulle and pearls surrounding them.


Then you notice the three clear acrylic background pieces behind the couple!


 That is not something you see these days! The acrylic partitions surround the couple and give them their own little special place to reflect on their wedding day. :)

Some things the 'chillens' could enjoy!

New to the shop this week are some fun, vintage children's items.


This wee 8" long, stuffed Humpty Dumpty has the most adorable cross stitched face!  Wouldn't this look just darling sitting atop a bookshelf or dresser in a baby's nursery?


Introduced in 1982, this Papa Smurf glass features a bright crisp image of Papa Smurf getting into some mischief....or possibly getting hurt.

Pea Weight, Pulley, and Playing Cards

The past few weeks have yielded some mighty fine discoveries up in the North Georgia mountains! Check out some very neat items that recently found a home in the shop!






Three old glass milk bottles.  Each features a cardboard lid, with one lid having the text, "BOYSON'S DAIRY NEWTOWN, CONN."





Cast iron 3 1/2 pound pea weight. These weights were used to weigh cotton, hay, produce and a variety of other things.



This beautiful old ship pulley is made from wood and metal. The rust and wood damage only adds to its charm, making this old pulley great for industrial, beach or rustic decor or for someone that collects ship or shipyard items.. This is a heavy duty 18 pound pulley and would be great to hang a lamp or anything from. On the label is a star in the middle and it appears to say OSTOR & LOC PORT. 





One of the neatest finds that has made its way to the shop is this set of limited edition playing cards that was released in 1986.  Scantily-dressed ladies of the 80s are featured on every card.  These cards do not appear to have been used and are in very good condition.
