After a rather cold week, yesterday was bright and warm. We decided to drive down to Downtown Pomona, CA, one of our favorite places in Southern California. Our first stop was at Ken’s Olden Oddities, a little Antique Shop in the city of La Verne, CA, where we purchased this gorgeous Vintage Mosaic Candle Holder from the 1960’s; a Little Girl & Cat Statue from the 1970’s as well as a set of Vintage Ridgid Wrench.

I truly appreciate lovelies and my husband is really thoughtful of me when it comes to my heart desires. I get happy over little things which spark a desire in me to create, decorate and donate.

Another favorite of mine is this gorgeous Cherub Wall Shelf Sconce my husband purchased for me, while visiting the Antique Rows in Downtown Pomona, CA.

Another steal from the Antique Row was this Set of 3 Clear Crystal Pillar Candlestick Holder which I love to pieces.

For great and unique Vintage finds, I highly recommend you visit Pomona’s Antiques Row shops and allow yourself at least a good half a day to do so. The atmosphere is peaceful, friendly and the shop owners are always happy to tell the story behind each piece of furniture.

Matryoshka Dolls

Matryoshka Dolls

– Don’t we all love them? With a variety of shapes and themes from fairy tales, religious, athletic icons and from wildlife to World leaders; the choices and possibilities are endless.
Kids love them and mine are not immune to their awesomeness. They are useful in educating young children about colors, sizes, shapes, stacking and unstacking into larger dolls.

Beside the vibrant colors and themes; I am fond of them mainly for what they represent: motherhood and fertility.

The gorgeous Matryoshka Nesting Doll in the middle was purchased at one of the Antique Stores in Downtown Pomona. Standing at 8″ tall and consisting of 9 pieces, it is one of my favorite acquisitions.

Being a Vintage lover and having spent at least six years in Pomona, CA; I can assure you that the Antique Row is the place to shop for everything Antique (paintings, furniture, books, toys, clothing, Silverware, tools and much more). I own a few sets, some of which I will be giving away to my readers.
