vintage brass finial, mixed media, altered art, assemblage NEW Vintage Brass Finial  | $5.95
I thought this would make for a gorgeous assemblage topper, but I imagine it would look lovely on the cover of an altered book or as a focal piece for a necklace, too. I'm not certain of the age, but this is something I picked up at an antique shop a LONG time ago (and paid double what I'm asking). I had the perfect idea for it but it ended up being a tad small for my intentions. This measures 3.25" tall and has a screw hole in the bottom for easy attaching, if you chose to use it for that (it was originally a lamp topper so I suppose you could use it for that, too).

frozen charlotte, bisque doll, porcelain, victorian doll, vintage, doll art, mixed media art, altered art, vintage buttons, mother of pearl Small Charlotte Goody Bundle | $16.00
Sometimes just a Frozen Charlotte isn't as fun as a Frozen Charlotte with some extra goodies. This little bundle also has two vintage mother of pearl buttons, a vintage black button and a bundle of 5 old coin charms along with about a 3.5" tall girl. A little random, perhaps, but fun none the less! Create a little assemblage or use the extra bits in another project.

frozen charlotte doll, victorian beaded dress trim, black beading, italian picture frame, vintage doiley NEW Charlotte Loves Pretty Things | $26.00
Charlotte loves pretty things indeed! This bundle comes with a lovely one-armed, two-legged frozen Charlotte doll, a length of absolutely stunning black beaded Victorian dress trim, a pretty little old crotched doily and an Italian picture frame (the frame, I believe, is a modern replica of the very old, ornate antique Italian picture frames -- this one has plastic on the front instead of glass but the metal frame itself seems to be high quality).

vintage tin type, gentleman in top hat, watch parts, pocket watch chain, vintage bundle Top hat Gentleman Tin Type Bundle | $15.25
I think if I were around 100 years ago or so I may have a mild crush on this chap with his rosy cheeks and handsome hat. (Or maybe I would have just snatched his hat.) This bundle comes with this fabulous tin type, a very old vintage crest button (these started being made in the early 1900s but were apparently made until 1950ish), a watch part and rusty pocket watch chain. He will come to you wrapped safely in an aged piece of fabric. see detail here >>

carte de viste photo, cdv, vintage crocheted lace, doily, vintage gold buttons, lace, vintage lace Two Girls 1800s Carte De Viste (CDV) Photograph Bundle | $9.95
Aren't these girls just sweet as can be (despite it not being "cool" to smile back then)! This CDV comes with two very old metal buttons, an aged crocheted lace doily with a bit of age discolorization (I like it better that way), and a piece of lovely vintage lace. These could make a fantastic fabric collage.

I cringe as I type this because I LOVE this bundle. This sweet young girl CDV comes with a late 1800s children's storybook, a piece of aged crocheted lace table cloth, some floral embroidered trim and a couple of very old buttons just for fun. It will arrive wrapped in very early 1900s sheet music. Please note that the book is very old and the pages have separated from the spine and cover, but it's packed with fantastic illustrations you can use in your work. Maybe you'd like to repurpose the cover and make your own book? inside book detail   >> illustration example >> see photo detail here >>

solid brass, victorian, drawer pull, door knocker, altered art, mixed media art Brass Victorian Ring Drawer Pull or Door Knocker | $9.95
At first I thought this was a really cool large drawer pull, but then I thought maybe a small door knocker. Now I'm not too sure, but either way this solid brass victorian item is gorgeous! It measures just over 2.75" by 2.25" wide.

variable capacitors, vintage, radio, ham Vintage Radio Variable Capacitors, Type B | $9.95 each
I love the red stripes on these!! I got three and am keeping one for myself. These ones are a bit smaller, measuring 4" by 3.25". I want to hook a motor up to one of these to make it spin on it's own... or, um, ask my husband to do it 'cause he's a genius like that. Even static though, these things would look so hot on a big cool assemblage! (These twist "open" like the ones above do.)
Only two of this style! Additional shipping charges or slower shipping method may apply (first class instead of priority).

vintage radio dial, handle, numbers, turn, tuner Vintage Radio Dial | $24.95
Is this even a radio dial? I honestly have no idea, but that's what I'm guessing. I was giddy with bliss when I found not one but TWO of these! Yeps, I'm keepin' one for myself! These things are fairly large -- 5" x 3" by almost 5" deep. To get a proper perspective, see side view here >>
Only one!

cameo creation, vintage framed print, victorian painting, Hubak Vintage Framed Victorian Print: Hubak Lady, 7" x 8.5" | $22.95
This Cameo Creation has a lovely print entitled Hubak Lady by Unknown Artist. I believe these came out between the 20s and 50s, and they featured victorian era paintings, generally of ladies. They are made to resemble heavy ornate wood but are indeed not. Covering the image is convex glass, and the whole thing measures about 7" x 8.5".
