The hardest thing about Bohemian Bliss was selecting just a few treasures to take home. There were so many wonderful things! Here are my Blissful Treasures.
My mindset right now is furnishing the Fashionista’s new apartment. I picked up this sweet plate and great napkins I thought she would love. However, I am keeping the stamp and vintage floral frogs.
Blissful Treasures
I can never leave a vintage ballerina behind.
They are currently showing up in the “Happy Birthday” corsages I have been creating for my Etsy shop.
I love this funky large piece of wrapping paper. Again, it will become something in the Fashionista’s apartment.
I adored the dreamy soft, muted colors found in this pin. It is currently attached to my large sun hat.
Clever! I had to have this sweet teacup plate glued onto a candlestick. My favorite part was the old votive cup turned over which created an interesting cloche.
Love this! It will soon find a home in the lavender guest room I am in the midst of creating.
I’ve saved my favorite for last. I did a swap of jewelry with Heidi for this lovely little bird.
He is a vintage Florenza piece. Who among you remembers the tiny saccharin sweetener tablets that were in vogue in the 60’s and 70’s, well before Splenda? This little guy held them beautifully.
Given that he still had his original tongs and that his eyes were the color of my peridot birthstone I knew he had to come live with me.
Have you found any sweet treats lately?
You found some wonderful treasures! I love the vintage wrapping paper and the little birdie 🙂
I have our new babies pictues posted so come over and peek 🙂

Oh such sweet finds! 🙂 The vintage ballerinas made me smile, as did the owl wrapping paper, and the adorable bird. Everything is lovely, as always.
Thanks for sharing,

I love all your treasures Laura. You know my birthstone is peridot too!!!!! HA
Seriously, the little bird with the tongs is the sweetest of all.
I know you are having fun with the Fashionista's apt. and your new guest room. Can't wait to see pics.
The little bird is simply adorable! I wouldn't have known what it was originally for. I can definitely see why you traded for it. Thanks for showing us! ; )

Love the bird he is my fav. too! I love your blog, its so sweet and charming… it makes me want to run out to a antique store.
Love the cloche. That is clever. I never knew there were things for holding the sweetner tablets. Always learning something new from my fellow bloggers. That is the fun part.
what pretty finds.
Oooooh, I love all your treasures! They are so pretty. I especially love the saucer glued to the candlestick.

Hi Laura,
I love your treasures! Did you see what Minnie did with the papaya paper in her breakfast nook? We just decoupaged our old counter in some of the funky paper as well- I LOVE it!
Hope you are having a blissful summer so far!

What a bonanza! I love the way you incorporated the ballerinas into the hair ribbons you create!
I really liked the flowers on the first plate!
Great finds!
I love the birdie! I remember those tablets, too.
That saccarin bird is so cute! I love the little tongs. Looks like some great finds. No I haven't bought anything anywhere…having a dry spell!
Fantastic finds! The little bird is my favorite too. I do remember my grandmother sweetening her tea with those tiny white tables. I hope the remainder of your week is sweet!
I love that cnadlestick/plate trick! I saw it once at a tea room, and now I pick up glass candlesticks and vintage dishes at yard sales whenever I see them to make hostess/birthday/whatever gifts. AND…I found a glass cloche at a yard sale last week. That one I keep my my dish. 🙂
That little bird cracks me up…how perfect. You found yourself some sweet tweets, er, treats for sure!
The birdie is darling. Stop by our blog to enter our first giveaway!

How I covet the little gold birdie. Great snag Laura. Your birthday corsages are very sweet. You are always tremendously creative in all you do. Hope your Fashionista is doing well in her new home?!

Your blog is one beautiful post after another. I loved the bohemian houses tours. And the shopping trips and all the goodies you found here. especially the sugar bird.
Lovely blog!!

Great stuff. Looks like a great event. Mimi
How did you get my tea saucer, I thought I put it away!!! lol Everything is lovely, lucky fashionista.
My daughter just moved into a 1600SQ house and I was putting things here and there while unpacking and she was right behind me moving it. lol Oh well…..out with the old and in with the new.
Oh, what lovely treasures, Laura!!! Love that wrapping paper, the Fashionista's napkins, and especially your new birdie friend. Oh, he is gorgeous! And… that candleholder/tea plate idea is rather a fetching idea… I have done something similar, but could not manage to keep the two pieces together, and was afraid of breaking the glass I placed on top of the candle holder landing… Any idea what kind of glue was used to keep it together? Thank yo for sharing. Hope you are well.. Looks like you came away with plenty of “ricordi”… sigh of content for you. 🙂
What great finds! I was trying to think of my stuff….and when you asked if we found any sweet treats lately…yes!

Hi Laura! I have something sweet for you…come by and see!

Hi Laura,
How wonderful that you were able to go and help your Grandmother with her move.
Love all the beautiful China she gave you and how much more special when they have been in the Family.
Also like the necklace you put together. Glad that they all got back home safely.
enjoy your weekend
Hugs
