Italian Mosaic Pill Box




These mosaics were usually floral in nature and made up of small pieces of glass or gemstones to create the lovely pattern. 

This little box is an inch in diameter and absolutely stunning. It’s in very good condition and would be a cute addition to the collection of Italian mosaic fans. Originally $20, but if you want to take this dainty little number home for a steal use coupon code MARFEATURE20 for 20% off!

My Other Passion - Doggie Rescue

While this has absolutely nothing to do with vintage, I need a way to share some additional photos of Willis, my foster puppy and the other pups that are available through the rescue group I work with - MOSH Pits.

Meet Willis!!

Willis is a 10 month old pitbull mix available in the Kansas City, MO area. He is fixed, up-to-date on shots and is a healthy little ball of energy and excitement. He's about 45lbs right now and will likely be between 60-75lbs when he is full grown. 

Willis is dog-friendly, but has not been around cats or children. I believe he'd do best in a house with children over the age of 7, as he's still learning his puppy manners and can be a little mouthy in his play. He is used to being crated during the day, is working on his potty training and is very intelligent and treat motivated! 

His adoption fee is $125. Contact me if you'd like to meet this handsome little man!
