VVT BALLON LADY

BIDDY PENNY FARTHING BALLOON 2 BIDDY PENNY FARTHING
The standing balloon lady belonged to my grandmother, I loved and admired it as a child and still love it today. It is a knock off , from the Royal Doulton lady. They are chalkware, but that in its self could be of some value. But they do have some chips in them, so there goes the value. Wouldn't sell my grandmothers anyway. The other one my DD got on ebay for me.
Here is a little history on Biddy Penny

Made by Royal Doulton. H.N. 1943. BIDDY PENNY FARTHING BALLOON FIGURE. Designed by L. Harradine. 9" in height. Various Vibrant colors of lady carrying a bunch of beautiful gayly colored balloons. She is wearing a shawl and a floral hat. She is also carrying a basket around her left arm filled with uninflated ballons in her left hand. Excellent Condition. No chips, cracks or restoration would sell around $350!
We are still liking Florida alot, esp. the sunshine. Don't forget to check out or fun time at my other blog.

ANTIQUE VINTAGE CRYSTALS

CRYSTALS
CRYSTAL DRAWER PULLS

VINTAGE DOILY Here are a few antique crystals I have collected over the years, some from a crystal table lamp and some from a very old antique crystal chandelier. I think there are about 100 of them, I guess I will be selling those too. At the local flea markets they get about $1.00 each. I might be able to get more on the internet. The crystal drawer pulls sitting beside them I found on an old antique wash stand along side the road. It was way beyond repair, but the pulls were a great find. I have everything sitting in a red vintage bowl. Underneath is a vintage hand crochet doily from the 50's. Everything is sitting on a vintage wicker coffee table, at least that is what I am using it for. I am down here in sunny Florida helping my dad out, I will be here till the end of March. These are some pic's I took before I left, so I would have a few things to put on VTT.
Me & Maggie are haveing a great time its soooo warm and sunny! Check out my other blog to keep up with us. On there you will see some pic's of why I wanted to get out of PA.
