I have a kind of crazy neighbour that lives across the street from me...
She often gives me GENUINE vintage pieces. She's given me tons of bags from the 40's/50's (I wrote a post about this ages ago) but recently, she's now moved on to giving me jewelry.
She has been so kind and donated some lovely pieces to me. There is a beautiful selection of costume jewelry ranging from beaded necklaces to gem encrusted brooches.
She assures me that although the jewelry materials are not precious, she simply cannot part with them. I feel delighted that they've been passed on to me. I'm such a hoarder - I can almost guarantee I shall be passing these down to a granddaughter in many years to come. They will last the test of time, trust me.
I enjoy photographing accessories, they don't talk or fidget...
I really like all the pieces - especially the pendant with the embroidery bird!
I wore my favourite pair of leggings today, I then realised that I looked terribly patriotic. Happy 4th July :)
I'm thankful to be blessed with great health and a wonderful family. Recently I've went on a manic health-kick which involves eating healthily and running everyday, I can honestly say I've never felt better.
Hopefully its another lovely day tomorrow so I can laze in my garden with my companion Mr Nikon. I am beginning to become incredibly lonesome and needy since my boyfriend and I parted ways 3 weeks ago. On the other hand, the count down is on to our holiday to Turkey (1 week on Thursday). Oh the joys.
TONIGHT - I WILL WATCH THE CAT RETURNS... Finally.

I wish I had a neighbor like that :D What a sweet woman.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you'll LOVE the Cat Returns. That studio always create the most amazing films. I think my favorite by them has to be Howl's Moving Castle. Check that one out too if you haven't already :D

Wow! What a wonderful neighbor you have! This makes me really nostalgic; it reminds me of going into my grandmother's room when I was little and sorting through her jewelry boxes. So much fun! Enjoy those pieces - can't wait to see you sporting some of them in future posts :)
ReplyDeleteBest,
Danielle
I love that pendant, too. Your neighbor rocks! Have fun on your date with your Nikon. :) xoxo
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - I'm very lucky!
ReplyDeleteLets be clear, boyfriend and I = not split up!! I realise that how I said "parted ways" implies this, but no, he works offshore and comes home Monday! He's been away for 3 weeks now, hence why I'm sad and lonely :( :( ... He's coming back on Monday and we are going on holiday for a week! :D I just wanted to clear this up before I get any more concerned comments. Thank you for everyone being so supportive though heh heh heh :D :D <3 <3

Omg, so lucky!! I too love the necklace with the embroidered bird!!! Cute leggings!:-)
