two things i love around my home

Once again, I'm joining in on the fun and sharing two things I love around my home. This time, it's all about pretty victorian people! The first is this little Victorian couple. They're super old, and I got them a few years ago for $3 or $4 from my favorite antique store. They sit on the mantle in my living room. The second thing I love is this vintage porcelain and brass lamp with a two pretty victorian ladies. I'm completely obsessed with buying and rewiring old lamps, and luckily it isn't an expensive habit. I got this one for $4 and the rewiring supplies were only $4. Aaaaand, don't forget to join the knick knack exchange!

Now onto something I've been working on... I started making this cluster to wear as a brooch, but then I held it up above my ear and decided that I'd like it more as a headband. It's a combination of silk, lace and vintage buttons (I also hoard vintage buttons).

I'm certainly no model, and one day I'm hoping to find a vintage head mannequin (if that's even what they're called), then I hope to have some decent pictures to share!

If you want to share the two things you're loving in your home, you can link up on Kassi's blog or you can leave your link in the comments. Also, show me what you're working on! If you're a dinosaur toes fan on Facebook, you may even win a cold forged hammered brass bangle if you show me your projects!
