FREE from Me ... to You !!! ♥ Vintage Found Objects

I have always had a fascination with the work of Joseph Cornell
how the most mundane of objects can be staged, and the fantastically unique shine

( I have written and showcased more about the work of Cornell below, to utterly inspire you )

I found these objects in my vintage stock ..... that all have their own story .....
where have they come from, where have they been, what have they seen ???

I will post these found objects to you as soon as you send your address to me at

To Inspire You - The Work of Joseph Cornell

By collecting and carefully juxtaposing found objects in small, glass-front boxes,
Cornell created visual poems in which surface, form, texture, and light play together

Using things we can see,
Cornell made boxes about things we cannot see: ideas, memories, fantasies, and dreams

FREE from Me ... to You !!! ♥ Vintage China Yellow Roses in a Mint Green Vase

I have gotten SO much done in a focused and calm way today

Heating on full blast, fairy lights on - copious amounts of caffeine - zing zing
and a methodical day of uploading products whilst watching daytime TV
out to post off orders and back now for a chilled evening of sketching, making and a film I think
after a warm bubble bath

WELL DONE ME ;)

I thought that it was the perfect time to offer a little FREEBIE

These china yellow roses are so beautiful and I have popped them in a mint green vase for you

FREE from Me ... to You !!! ♥ Super Cute Cruet Set

 

 
Today I am giving away this super cute Carlton Ware cruet set

It is very worn and has some cracks - but as with all vintage
I love to breath new life into objects that have a unique quality of their own
as time so beautifully ages them
and they always look great when making them a feature

FREE from Me ... to You !!! ♥ Send Your Kiss Gifts

 

Today I am giving away two freebies to the first two readers who write a comment in the box below

If you are one of the first two readers to write a comment in the box below
I will post a send your kiss gift to you as soon as you send your address to me at
dommie@dommie.com

Two reasons .....

Reason one
Father's Day is always a bit of a tricky one for me
it has happiness and sadness mixed in together
and although I love to chat and chat on my blog - some things are a bit too personal to share

Reason two
Someone VERY dear to me will also be finding this day tough
and I just wanted to mark this post today
with love, thought and tenderness
and remember a man that sadly I never met
yet - his qualities and character live on in one of the very most
wonderful and beautiful people I have EVER met

Thinking of you

FREE from Me ... to You !!! . My suprise vintage find

 
 My vintage delivery day is getting BETTER and BETTER as the weeks go on

The guys know what is perfect for my shop
and they do seem to bring me MANY suprises too that always turn out to be oh so wonderful

 

and then
there always the super suprises ..... like this suitcase
that I thought was empty -
even my vintage rummagers who get first pick of everything
( yep mum and sis get preferentail treatment of course)
did not spot what was inside

So - tah dah
on opening up this suitcase
I found that it was full of vintage handkerchiefs
table cloths - mats - gloves
and a photo of a lady that I have given to my friend Lee

He collects vintage photos and I feel better giving them to him
as it just feels awful to throw them away

So - today I am happy to be giving away these gloves, crocheted mat
and embroidered handkerchief from the suitcase of suprises
