Imported treasures.........

More on my visit to Market Imports .....................................


I have a collection of English stone jugs such as these......thanks to sweet Susie at SuzAnna's Antiques. Mine are cracked, crazed and chipped, one even bottomless, such character, and they came home with me for just pennies, some even less! These beauties at the import store are rather expensive.

The leaded mica stars are truly lovely ~ their colors muted but glowing when hit by light. Doesn't everyone love star shapes?


Vintage glass jars with oxidized tin lids are easy to find, usually American Ball brand canning jars....................but look how splendid these French apothecary jars are with their original labels. Rather pricey though.







Several old iron scales reminded me of ones still used at the French outdoor markets I frequented in Provence last Autumn.


Heavy cloches in shapes and sizes for all tastes ~ the bubbled glass with a gentle green tinge. These were on sale so I couldn't resist buying one.


More from this great shopping venue coming soon..................are you looking for a special door? A grand entry could be in your future.
