New Soap

I also made two batches of soap this weekend. Both batches are shampoo bars. One is a tea tree oil bar and the other a pomegranate, vanilla, lavender bar.
Both shampoos will be cured and listed in my Etsy store in about 3-5 weeks.

Exciting New Finds



I went thrifting on Saturday and found some very nice items.
A jar made by the Hermann Ohme Porcelain Factory. The pottery mark indicates that it was made in the period from 1895-1910. The Ohme factory was located in a town called Niedersalzbrunn, in Silesia. The area now belongs to Western Poland and the town is called Walbrzych. It is quite the find, because Silesia/Ohme pottery is a highly sought after collectible :)
The next find, a Noritake cup and saucer, are similar to the saucer I blogged about a while ago. This set is also white with the yellow band that is covered by an ornate hand painted heavy gold floral design. The set was made during the deco period from 1918-1921. By the way, the other saucer is even older and was made in 1908.
Of course I am thinking about keeping the cup and saucer for myself.
It seems the box with items I intend to keep is getting fuller and fuller.

oh so pretty!!


I found this pink glass tidbit today. I am certain it is vintage depression glass, even though I have not been able to find one like it anywhere online to see what it is worth.
Lately I have become obsessed with the pink glass items. I just love them, even though I am really not a big fan of pink in general. I think my daughters have infected me :)
Well, here is the picture. Isn't it oh so pretty?
