But every once in a while I find something that cannot be resisted.
First I found this fabulous cast iron, brass finished partridge for $3. I have to admit that I didn’t know it was a partridge at first and had to look it up.
While looking it up I found an eBay store that has the same vintage bird for $99.! Theirs has broken toes, while mine is pristine :)
Next I found this fabulous shield shape vintage mirror, for $7. I’m not too keen on the tassels, but they do go with the piece. It’s gold, but close enough to brass :)
I had the perfect spot for it on my gallery wall

Great finds! I've seen birds like that in charity shops before, for around the same price as you paid. $99 sounds completely overpriced!
ReplyDeleteThe mirror is cute, reminds me of a banner. =)
Love that partridge!!!
ReplyDeletei love your partridge!!! and brass is back in a big way!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, i just bought three peacocks that are brass at a yard sale today for $1.50. I love them, and I love your new piece, its a beauty ;) That mirror is totally adorable as well, good finds Mel!
ReplyDeleteI love brass too. I have a pheasant just like that and I'm going to grab it and use it with my Thanksgiving decor. It's scary when you have so much stuff that you don't remember what you have until someone reminds you.
ReplyDeletelove the gallery wall, and the gold looks so warm and lovely against the grey.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and you did great on the price!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Mel! I don't usually like brass but both of these pieces are quite nice!
ReplyDeleteGreat finds, especially the deal you got on the brass partridge! Who knew brass would make such a big comeback :-) The mirror is nice too, and looks great on your dark grey gallery wall. The butterfly artwork is pretty awesome too :-)
