Does it make you feel fabuleux when something you have been hunting for is suddenly found, right there, in front of your very eyes? Please don't think me shallow, but this is how I felt this weekend, it's like hitting the mother lode!

Oh how I've searched far and wide for this vintage french enamelware lavabo!
When I found this hanging vintage kitchen scale, it was a terrible rusty red. I gave it a bit of a modern life by spray painting it coastal blue.
Happy hunting! May your finds be fabuleux!

Yes that is a great feeling. Second to that is finding the perfect something you didn't even know you wanted until it was right in front of you.
Wonderful finds, Marie! :D I am fascinated with the little handleless tea cup.

It's all gorgeous but I really love that gorgeous scale. Pure vintage beauty! I know what you mean about finding something you've been looking for. I keep a list in my phone of things I hope to find when I'm out antiquing/junking. It's such a great feeling when you stumble that perfect something that has been eluding you!! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Marie, I love the little teacup. Gorgeous photos!
Hello Marie... your tresors are wonderful!... I collect teacups and especially footed ones... that one is just gorgeous!... and yes, I have looked long and hard sometimes for things... Jack remembered having a little old mustard jar bank as a child, and I searched for 25 years looking for one... one day, I walked into a shop and there it was!... I paid an exorbitant price for it, even back then, but the smile on Jack's face was so worth it!... wishing you a beautiful summers day... xoxo Julie Marie
I love that vintage scale - especially the color as I love all things blue!
Hello Marie, what lovely finds!! Gorgeous pics. Thank you for sharing....
Wonderful treasures, meant just for you. I would have painted the red scale, too. It looks perfect Marie!
Lovely photos...

What Fabulous Treasures.... by chance, is that beautiful white little flower in the cup & on the vine Stephanotis (sp?) used it in Wedding designs years back, but never saw how it grew....
Cheryl
Thanks Marie for letting me know about the flower, I never realized it was part of the Jasmine family ~ guess too cold winters for it here in Michigan, Yes, on the Pearl in the center, also would use a moist chenille stem to the flower to keep it fresh in the bouquet~ Brings back Memories....
Have a wonderful Week
