As Spring has officially sprung here in Australia, I thought it would be fitting to feature some of my favourite vintage things that epitomise Spring!I have a collection of mostly English ceramic vintage pomanders. Here are four from my collection. I purchased the first, third and fourth pomanders from English Preserves. The second one was a thrift shop find.
Ceramic pomanders each have a hole underneath where potpourri etc can be inserted, and also a number of holes on their tops and or sides allowing the fragrance to escape. I just add lavender essential oil to cotton wool balls and pop them inside my pomanders and refresh and replace as needed. I have them in various parts of my home. I'll show you more from my collection in the future.
Fabulous 50's Needlepoint handbag I purchased from Bottle Blonde Vintage.
Lavender sachet sweetly gifted to me by clever crafter Lisa from Rosamund. Lisa used a vintage handkerchief to create this lovely!My dears, may the joy of Spring be in your hearts all year round!
What a lovely post for the first of Spring, Carla! Such sweet goodies. I'm so glad winter is technically over. {A warm one coming tomorrow, apparently!} Enjoy the rest of your week...
ReplyDeleteGreat finds. We're just entering Autumn over here but I still love spring beauties like yours.
ReplyDeleteLove that bag.
These pomanders used to be popular presents when I was a kid. They really are nice.... and the filler idea is great - pot pourri is not always easy to find.... but I've heard you can do your own.... have you ever tried that?
ReplyDeleteOh.... & I simply love that bag....
ReplyDeletehiya-
ReplyDeletewhen I was at our local fleamarket last week I bought a hug box FULL of someone's collection of pmanders, there's about 50!
I've equipped myself with a big bag of dried lavender and some ribbons and I shall re-fill them in time for winter wardrobe scenting.
Autumn approaches here just as you go into Spring, but i expect the temperatures are about the same?

ReplyDeleteI have a few of those pomanders can't resist picking up the vintage ones when I see them they are so much prettier that the modern ones.
