Barbara Pagani's Tresor Cache 101

I picked up these cuties at the Flea Market off St-Jeans in Pointe Claire. These are vintage pink and silver glass bird Christmas tree ornaments with a fiber tails and a metal clip.   These ornaments are typically made of blown glass and are a popular collectible item.   One bird is pink and the other silver with a white fiber tail, designed to clip onto a tree branch.   Bird ornaments are often symbols of happiness and joy during the holiday season.   Similar items can be found from various sellers specializing in vintage and antique decorations.    The spring has a bit of rust so I used some shoe goop to ensure it stays put in the clip. 

 These are some of the F-P people and accessories that I bought for the houses and school houseI have so the grandchildren can play with them. Some of them have a lot of wear.  This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People yellow and white one-seat car.   This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People riding horse toy.   It is a round orange table accessory from the #952 Play Family House playset, which was first introduced in 1969.   This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People figure, specifically a bald boy or dad figure with an orange body.   The item is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People girl figure with a red body and yellow bob hair.   This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People wooden figure, commonly known as the "Bully Boy" or "Angry Boy".   The item pictured is a  Vintage Fisher-Price Little People Angry Freckled Boy   This is a vintage Fisher-Price Little People figure, specifically a bald man or "Dad" with a green body. ...

 I picked up this clear glass heart at an Estate Sale and decided to juj it up. I applied some red alcohol ink and also the drab ribbon.  Then I saw this heart for sale on PM and thought it would make it even cuter. I am not sure if I would use white or pearl 

 This is such a beautiful piece that I don't think I could sell it. It will look fantastic in my country style kitchen. It is missing the lid so I am on the look out for a replacement. I took it all apart and cleaned it and will test that it works tomorrow. I came across a metal topper which I painted with black alcohol ink to fit on top.

Here is what I do with the ornaments that have survived over the years. I hang them in my chandelier out of reach from little hands.  Some of these belonged to my Great Grandmother Meta Forbes Crompton 

 Here are some of the rescued rejects from my alcohol inks pile. I outlined the parts I liked with black and then white to give it some depth and dried like enamels. Once dry, I coated them with Glossy accent. I have another batch ready for some resin that needs to be used up.
