Cream Fringe with Deco-Style Embroidery - Vintage

Monogram Initials - L

Early 20th Century monogram initials, which can be stitched onto the item of your choice. The letter is an uppercase 'L.' Measures approximately 1 7/8" wide by 3" inches tall. It's stitched onto a piece of blue paper with company information; it was made by The Initial Company (TICO). "Guaranteed Washable." I'm not entirely certain what this is made out of - it's, "a combination of padding and stamping" and appears to be stamped cloth, to create the 3-dimensional look of traditional stitched monograms, without the stitching. The color is a creamy, aged off-white.

We have 2 of these available. (Click small photo at left for a larger image.) Just $5 each.

Reis Nuvo Gothic Monogram Letters

Monogram Initials - Gothic Letters

Early 20th Century monogram initials, made by Reis Nuvo Foundation. According to the paper the letters are stamped on, thse are made with "a combination of padding and stamping" and appears to be stamped cloth, molded to create the 3-dimensional look of traditional stitched monograms, without the stitching. They are off-white, showing a little age darkening. Perfect to add antique flair to your project.

We have 3 cards of these available, with 2 initials to a card. Just $5 each.

Wired Glass Flowers - Vintage

Beaded Daisies Wired Embellishment

Here is a bunch of daisies which will always be fresh...a long time ago, someone painstakingly created these little blue flowers from seed beads and wire.

I counted 34 of these little blossoms. They are all wired together, but you can separate them out to use individually or in small groups. They'd work well for millinery, handbags, or other accessories.

Each light blue flower measures about 3/4" inch in diameter. I'd describe the color as a pale turquoise blue.

As pictured (click at left for enlargement), the bunch measures about 3.5" x 5.5" inches, but since they're on wire that's approximate.

$7

Springtime Crewel Patch - Vintage

Springtime Crewel Embellishment

Sweet piece of crewel, featuirng blue and yellow flowers, with hues of blue, green, yellow, and pink. The border is in a geometric design.

Measures approximately 5.5" inches across the top, 5" inches across the bottom, and 3" inches tall. A very pleasing shape, with a subtle arch. (Click photo at left to see the whole thing!)

In lovely condition. $3

Tiny Knit Stripes - Vintage

Tiny Knit Stripes

Here's a little piece of knitting, alternating stripes of ivory, blue, red, golden yellow, green, and black. Not sure what this was meant for, but could make a tiny pocket (would be the right size inside a handbag) or would work as an embellishment.

Measures approximately 3 7/8" wide. It's 2" tall on the blue end and 2 1/4" inches tall on the black end.

Dates from the first half of the 20th century; likely 30s or before.

In lovely condition. $2.50

1920s Glass Beads

1920s Glass Beads

These glass beads were purchased in an estate with a few other items, marked 1923. The beads were probably part of a necklace at one time.

There are 28 of them, strung together. Each is approximately 1/2" inch in diameter, but they vary a bit in size, leading me to believe that they are handmade. If you look closely you can see tiny bubbles in the glass.

In lovely condition.
