Mystery Provenance

One of my favorite elements of treasure-hunting is researching each piece. As in what's it worth, where'd it come from, and what's its purpose. So it's a happy bonus when I learn something new. I have learned nothing, so far, of the treasures 
I found this weekend. Perhaps someone will shed some light.

First up, this stunning rustic piece of copper. Isn't it gorgeous?

I'm assuming this is a pie server.

Can't find a maker's mark. Is this Stickley-ish?

I actually found two of these, both G's. Mounted on thick wood.

Who would have two monogrammed mirrors in their home?

Could these have come from a place of business,

like a hotel perhaps?

Isn't this adorable?

I'm guessing it isn't old, but I have

never seen a satchel woven from

natural materials, other than leather.

Did this originally come from a Cost Plus

or Pier 1 type store?

And how cute is this? 

Although I think it's made to be a toast stamp,

it could just as easily be a barbecue branding iron

for a breakfast steak.

This last piece is not a mystery.

I normally buy jewelry boxes with great bones

so I can chalk paint them, but that just can't 

happen this time. Ain't she sweet?

And if the exterior wasn't enough,

check out the vivid Turquoise interior.

And if that wasn't enough, 

she's also musical, and plays 

"A Time for Us".

Treasure-hunting does indeed soothe the soul......:)
