My grandmother wore hairnets. In the early 1950’s, I remember her removing hair from her brush and storing it in a hair receiver box on her dressing table. When she had enough she would fold it in a handkerchief and go to a little shop in Boston to have it woven into a hairnet. She would bring any that had frayed back to be fixed. I loved going with her. When we left she would sigh and wonder how long they would remain open as this was the last hairnet place left in all of Massachusetts. It finally closed in the late 50’s. Thanks for bringing back these memories.

Wow! That’s wild! Thanks for the info.

Great treasures and all the buttons! I love the rosary and the black velvet scarf with fringe. That will look beautiful with pins on it. Tfs❤

The little glass leaf shapes would look good in your monthly sketchbook, as winter leaves blowing.. :)

Great idea!

No wonder there were so many buttons around. Grandmother’s coat and dresses had stunning buttons, not zippers. Kids clothing had zippers. Those old ringer washing machines were just hell on buttons. Cotton thread was no match for those beasts. Besides, buttons were removed from worn out clothing and saved. One grandmother spent evenings with a darning egg and mended things and replaced buttons, glued to that new tangled thing called a television. LOL. ‘Things’ are always going to find you. You have such gratitude and appreciation for them. Gather up and on!

Could you make one of your jewelry Christmas trees with some if your buttons? It might take too many but they are so pretty. Thanks for sharing.

That’s a great idea and I have plenty of buttons!

That bag is beautiful I was surprised to see the pattern on both sides. The tartan on the inside too. I could imagine it was once a Victorian dress that's been repurposed. Love the boxes and paper items great graphics. You can never have too many buttons😂

….as usual!! FABULOUS! ❤

I love the burgundy velvet purse!!! OMG!!! C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The MOP buttons! LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have never had a thing for buttons....but I do like he older glass ones.....I love, love, love the black velvet scarf with fringe!!!! What a gorgeous find! Though I am not Catholic, I loved the rosary too....the glass beads were so lovely!

You made me laugh with all those buttons I do love buttons the hairnet human hair? But I loved the handbag just beautiful. I do enjoy your channel. Keep going your my favorite.

That pin case is fabulous!

You got all the buttons! I never knew hairnets were ever made of hair. I guess I never thought about it. I guess modern ones are nylon, maybe? I love the little purses, especially the one with the tassel. 😊 I almost forgot about the berry pin case. The pinheads look like a rasberry. Love it!

I had the same thought about hair nets. I suspose they are hair in more than one way to hold hair on and also made of hair.

Amazing finds, once again. The teardrop like perfume bottle, beaded pins, purses of course😅 & the cut clear shaker were my faves. 💞

Those pins are amazing. I’ve never seen anything like it.

What lovely treasures you found! The floral perfume cofret was made by Houbigant to house their “Le Parfum Ideal” which was launched at the 1900 Exposition Universelle in Paris. The perfume bottle was made by Baccarat. It was the first commercial floral fragrance to incorporate synthetic coumarin and salicylates. I own the cofret, which does have a small celluloid? toggle, and an empty bottle of the perfume with all the labels intact. Your cofret is in much better condition and the vibrant colors have not faded as they have in mine. So lovely!

Great info. I googled the bottle. I’ll have to keep my eyes out at the same again to find it.

I just noticed on your instagram account your art photos on the top with the jewelry trees and that thread lady and modern art. If you spell out words in jewelry or initials could you show us those too please. I would love to see them too thanks.🌌 PS That cat with diamond green eyes beautifully displayed with your other art treasures

How do you clean the antique purses?

@TarnishedTreasures1

Жыл бұрын

I added some oil to the metal beads to prevent rust. You can use a paint brush to dust them off and a Lysol wipe to clean the chain. I don’t mess with the fabric because I’m pretty sure I would ruin it so I don’t buy anything that has an odor.

Hi, What great finds. The first plastic bag with the rhinestone piece looked like it had a tree on it. Maybe you could use it on a jewelry tree. I also have a thing for buttons, you really scored. I love the pins & the velvet scarf. TFS ☮💜
