Barbola Basket Find

I visited a few antique stores this week with my husband on his day off.........Well worth the trip, look what I found...........


A beautiful antique barbola basket.........it was sitting on a high shelf, turned on its side............I reached up to take a peek and check out the price..............My heart skipped a beat!............$10 OMG, it`s mine!



All original paintwork and only one small area with damage.........

It`s around 1930`s, English........worth around $500 I would think..........

I have filled it with long stemmed paper roses that I have just listed in my store.

Just goes to show, bargains can still be found!

Speaking of the paper roses, here are some large 3.5 inch ones on a 4 inch metal stem that I have just listed, they are adorable!



See you soon! Have to get back to my faux mercury glass projects that I have become obsessed with lately........but more on that later............
