This gorgeous rosary is from France and has faceted long white glass beads. The crucifix is a silver colored metal and reads "M.V.W." on the back. It's a bit bent but overall quite pretty. The center shows Madonna & Child on one side and Christ on the other.
The rosary is in old, as found condition with signs of age (the white beads are dirtied and scratched) but still a beautiful and functional piece with a great hand feel and cool to the touch due to the glass beads.
SIZE:
overall length 21.25"
crucifix 0.875" x 1.5"
beads 7mm diameter

Lepine Paris plaque
Anything old with the word PARIS on it automatically rises to the top of my wish list! So this hand-lettered little enamel plaque from France certainly captured my heart the moment I saw it! It would once have adorned a clock but I think it'd be lovely incorporated into a piece of jewelry or even just a small vignette.
After a bit of research, I discovered that Jean-AntoineLépine was a master clock maker in the mid to late 1700s in Paris.
Listing is for the one (1) oval enamel little clock plaque.
SIZE: 1.5" wide x 1.125" tall with two pins in the back
One of the pins on the back is missing with the other has been twisted into a little eyelet

French receipt book
I love ephemera, especially when it's French and has pretty typography like this old receipt book!
Not only does this old receipt book have fabulous lettering, it's also quite large. It has a blue green soft cover with black binding tape that's coming loose on the back but pages have been stapled together so it's in no danger of falling apart and can easily be glued back on.
The writing on the receipt stubs on the left date from 1956 through 1959. There are 18 blank receipts still left in the book that you can use for crafting or display.
SIZE: 10.75" x 5.625" x 3/16" thick

laundry ribbon
This old package of laundry ribbon still has the original German label on it and would look great simply displayed. While intended to be sewn into clothing so your stack of laundry could be identified among all the others as you dropped it off at the washerette, this ribbon looks great as accent on gift wrap or stitched onto a simple pillow.
This listing is for the entire package - that's 5o meters or 164 feet of pure numbered joy!
There are some small stains and general yellowing of the outer ribbon but underneath the ribbon is clean and white. The label has a tear on the back and a couple small creases/tears on the front (see photos; hover mouse over photo to activate the zoom tool for detailed views).
SIZE: 0.375" wide x 164 feet long

religious medallions – silver/plated
I love old religious medallions – when you look really closely, they're often quite amazing little works of art stamped into metal.
These old medallions all came from France, although there may have been an occasional one from Italy in the batch. Photos show the same medallions front and back and I suspect these six to all be silver or silver plated although I have not tested them.
This listing is for one (1) medallion of your choice – please use the appropriate letter (A – F) in the drop down menu to make your selection. If you'd like to purchase multiple tags from this listing, please add each one to your cart separately.
SIZE: ranges from nearly 0.5" x 0.625" tall to over 0.5" x 0.875" tall

Dutch chemistry note book
I was first drawn to the tiny little label on this old hardcover note book. I didn't connect the meaning of "Scheik." on the label until I leafed through some of the hand-written pages and discovered it was all in Dutch. Despite having flunked out of chemistry in high school, I spotted some formulas that made me realize "Scheik." was short for "Scheikunde" or chemistry in Dutch.
Most of the pages are filled with fountain pen script writing with a few formulas mixed in as well as a few blank lined pages. The note book is in great condition, still solidly bound with just some staining due to age and storage on the fly pages. The edges of the cover are a bit scuffed, especially on the back, but it would make a lovely addition to a book shelf in the study or use it for your next altered book project.
SIZE: 6.75" x 8.75" x 0.375"

prayer book from France
I found this old prayer book at a market in France. It's bound in chocolate brown leather and has very faded gold lettering on the spine.
This book is very old, dating back to 1870, with the most stunning book plate I've seen in a prayer book: a color image with gold ink accents.
There are some condition issues with this book, mainly that there is quite a bit of brown staining/spotting throughout the pages. A page in the front is almost ready to fall out and a page between the two bookplates (likely a sheet of onion skin paper) has been torn out.
SIZE: 3.5" x 5" x 1.5" thick

French photo frame – small (ribbon)
I love this style of old French photo frames. They date back to the late 1800s and add instant charm to anything you place inside them!
This particular one I found in France. It came empty so I added a piece of handwritten notary paper from the mid-1700s but you can easily slide in a photo if you prefer.
At the top is a lovely brass ribbon that's so iconic of this style of frames.
It does have a few condition issues so I've priced it accordingly. Most notably, the leg in the back is missing (but the ring is still there so you can easily hang it) and the thick beveled glass has been chipped in all four corners. Still a lovely piece to use as decoration.
SIZE:
glass 2.75" x 4.25" x almost 0.375"
overall 5.25" tall

scrapbook of French labels
As a graphic designer by trade, I appreciate good typography and this scrap book is filled with fun examples of old company letterheads and labels.
Found in France, this scrapbook was created on a 1948 weekly calendar from Budapest. The front and back pages are filled with French etiquettes and labels from old haberdashery stores and suppliers of ribbons, fabric, clothing, hats, etc. Most of the businesses have addresses in Paris – how cool!
There are 32 pages (double-sided, so 16 pieces of paper) filled with labels – these would be wonderful for scrapbooking or to frame as a collage. There are lots of blank weekly calendar pages so you could add to it or use it as an altered book project, too. There is no front cover and the back cover has a built-in easel back.
SIZE:
Page: 5" x 7"
Cover: 6.5" x 7.875"

pocket saint from France – medium
I remember when I first discovered these types of pocket saints at a market in Belgium a few years ago – I was instantly smitten! The thought of people carrying one of these saints around in their pockets and sending prayers up to the heavens while rubbing their thumb over the back was just so special.
These pocket saints all came from France and are for sale individually. Please look at the photos and make your selection (A, B, or C) in the drop down menu before adding to your cart.
This listing is for one (1) pocket saint.
A: Madonna almost 1.75" tall
