Treasure Box Wednesday: Pastels, Prints and Posies

A quick trip through one of my favorite local thrifting routes brought a few nice vintage surprises I wanted to share with you.

It was an early start, and one of the places closest to home wasn't going to be open yet. So I popped by Rossi's Pop-up Flea Market in North Versailles. Which presented a purchase of such pleasing proportions I could not pass...

I'm guessing the courting couple there in this 30s romantic print may be Romeo and Juliet-- before the downer ending. The landscape has a bit of Italian flair to me. What do you think?

At the L&L Fleatique, I got this pretty but watermarked print by Annie Benson Miller...
It was framed and extremely inexpensive because of the damage. Yet, I know I can either add a little bit of matte, or hang it with a vintage scarf dangling off one side, and the soft aesthetics of the piece won't be ruined a bit!

I just thought the imagery was charming, and the size of the piece is quite large.
Folks who read Sunday's post know I got a little haul on Hull pottery... With the two pieces on the left...
And lastly, the day was sweetened by an iridized pink candy dish. I love the creamy color to the pink. And as fall sets in, and gloom overcomes the Pittsburgh region, I tell you, I can use all the sparkle I can get.
Wishing you a week that is easy on the eyes, the nerves and the wallet, as we wave a fond farewell to the summer season.

The romantic picture is lovely; yes, looks Italian.
I still say your thrifts and fleas are better there than here (Long Beach, CA).

What a beautiful print by Annie Benson Miller. The child is so lovely with all the flowers and soft touches in the picture.

I like the picture.The picture is a throwback to Medieval Times.I have a predilection for old stuff like the "Mona Lisa".

Simply adore the Annie Benson Miller print. Guess the name of the game is to actually go to the thrift shops isn't it. LOL

I'm missed seeing this absolutely adorable painting of the little girl. Those colors are to die for. I rarely see a painting that I like as much as this one. You and I have such similar tastes!

If I may be nosy, in what price ranges do Anne Benson Miller's prints sell for? (i.e. the first one shown)
