vintage haul

Our studio apartment is so small that I'm rarely on the hunt for an item that really belongs in our home. I've been on a quest lately to find the perfect vintage bill holder, preferably with key hooks. I looked online. I looked at thrift stores. I looked at estate sales. I waited patiently. and then I found this beauty with adorable strawberries at an estate sale this past weekend -- simple, sweet, and unlike anything I'd seen.

a pile of vintage jewelry slated for my Etsy shop. isn't that bright blue glass and brass toned brooch a beauty?
