Marla's perfect Little Black Coat:

"I bought this little black coat back in the fall of 2009 when the Trove was just starting up and it has served me very well! It is the perfect cut, the perfect weight, and it's been everywhere with me. I have other fantastic items purchased from the Trove, but this coat is my favorite!"

 

Fetta put together a very cute photo collage of all her favourite Trove finds: 
black silk dress, fun skirts, an assortment of jewelry.

Toni uses two of her vintage Trove finds to help keep her office in order.

*SOLD* Sterling silver & mother of pearl claddagh ring.

Size 5.

Price: $20

"The Claddagh's distinctive design features two hands clasping a heart, and usually surmounted by a crown. The elements of this symbol are often said to correspond to the qualities of love (the heart), friendship (the hands), and loyalty (the crown).

Claddagh rings may be used as friendship or relationship rings depending on the intention of wearer and, in the case of a gift, of the giver. There are three traditionally accepted ways of wearing the ring which may signal someone's relationship status:^[1]

1. When worn on the right ring finger with the heart pointing to the fingertip, the wearer is free of any attachment.
2. On the same finger with the ring turned around, it suggests someone is romantically involved.
3. When the ring is on the left hand wedding ring finger it means the person is married or engaged.<sup>[1]"

Sohrab and I spotted this robin's egg blue beauty for $10 at a garage sale this weekend.  It looks like it may have been used as a hutch, and it was instant love for both of us.   Sohrab WALKED IT HOME on his shoulder and then we carried it up four flights of stairs!  We tried to make the shelves fit in the kitchen, but we needed an extra crucial inch between the fridge and stove to make it work.   Then we tried to fit the shelves in the Trove and, wouldn't you know, it fit like it was made for the space.   

I love living in NDG for so many reasons, and excellent garage sale treasure is one of them!

*SOLD* I have a small but growing collection of vintage turquoise Pyrex, and I love how the colour and graphics pop against our white shelving.   

Oval Pyrex serving dish, divided down the middle.   It measures 12" long, 8 1/2" at its widest, and 2 1/4" tall.   The chartreuse floral detail is a little faded in spots, hence the low price!

Price: $10

Attention music lovers!

In the late 19th and early 20th century's the New York Metropolitan Opera House sold librettos for their operas.  The libretto contains the original words in Italian, French or German with a correct English translation. 

These librettos are for Rheingold and Tannhaeuser.  Each booklet is about 36 pages and contains the entire two act script or dialogue in both German (left side) and English (right side), plus the music score for piano is also included.

The booklets are circa 1920 and originally sold for 30 cents.  Each measures about 7" X 10". 

Price: $10 for the two

*SOLD* Vintage unsigned necklace, 18 1/2" long.  The linked pieces are beautifully organic in shape, with two mother of pearl sections, three chartreuse enameled sections, and four hunter green enameled pieces with iridescent floral centres.   Silver-tone, but with a a faint copper under-tone coming through.

*SOLD* The small flaws in this vintage 70s stoneware piece enhance its beauty.  No cracks or chips, but there is a slight asymmetry in the top - likely due to the fact that it is wheel-thrown.  The rich purple is speckled with turquoise, and would make a gorgeous foil for simple autumn arrangements of bright orange and red leaves & pine cones.  It would also be a lovely planter for easy-to-care-for succulent plants.
Diameter: 8"
Height: 2 1/2"
Price: $15  $10
