I’ve been attending auctions since my 8th birthday, and I had my first tiny space in an antique store at the age of 13.
There are times that I have to stop and think from time
to time (and possibly even do some research) on an item that I am looking
at. There have been times that I chose
to take a chance on an item that I’m unfamiliar with.
My taking a chance occurs when the item in question is
very inexpensive. Learning is a huge
part of what I do every day. My latest
acquisition is the head vase that’s pictured below, which is marked NIPPON.
NIPPON never made any head vases. I knew that—it registered wrong in my
mind. But I went ahead and carried it
out to my car anyway.
It is well worth the price for the piece to become my
display piece to showcase designer scarves, jewelry, and even hold vintage
hats.
So in the long run, it was worth the small
amount I shelled out for it. What kinds
of finds have you re-purposed like this?
