Damaged Goods - More of My Favorite Things

This china Dutch couple stood in The Husband God Gave Me's grandmother's china cabinet. She gave them to us. The boy stands in the wooden shoe as he has an obvious repair to his feet. I'm glad he wasn't thrown out. All of the doilies in these pictures where made by THGGM's grandmother.

An extreme close-up from my Zells cup. I don't think there is anything cuter than a Dutch guy walking along a canal with a windmill in the background. Even if it is blurry.




The Husband God Gave Me found this shelf sitting in the yard in front of an antique mall. He bought it with pocket change. I was hoping he would paint it white, but he likes the weathered look (this bodes well for me...)



This Roseville mug is another favorite of mine. I love the picture. It has been repaired, which is the only way I could afford this. That someone liked it enough to pay to have such a fantastic repair job done to this shows that I'm not the first 'someone' who has treasured this.
And, this is my very small collection of Zells. Each piece has a flaw of some sort. That is how I could afford it. I doubt that I own anything that I could profit from selling, but looking at it brings me much joy. Dusting it all...not so much.
