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.
