The other day I was reading Fops & Dandies and ran across a post about showing what's in your jewelry box. I really liked the idea of getting a peak into someone else's jewelry box. So often they are filled with treasures collected over the years. Mine is mostly filled with thrift store finds or random things I've collected for DIY projects that I never get around to. Here's what mine holds:
- I love long necklaces and lockets. Currently, my most worn piece is this pocket watch necklace from UO but I would really like to find an antique one.
- Vintage pins and brooches to be worn on jackets or sweaters or occasionally in my hair. One of these is a thrift store find, the other was my grandmother's.
- Random odds and ends I've collected such as a shell with a hole (perfect for stringing on a necklace), pieces of sea glass and an old skeleton key.
- Old beaded necklaces. Right now neither of these get worn because they are in desperate need of restringing and I'm afraid they might fall apart if worn.
- I have really tiny wrists so most bracelets are much too big. Anytime I run across a bracelet at a thrift store that actually fits, I snatch it right up.
I'm inlove with your watch neckless, I think I remember it from an earlier post
ReplyDeleteahh I also love how you stuck your pin in your teddy bear, it's so cute! ahah =]
What a feast to the eyes!
ReplyDeleteI saw the jewelry collection on the Fops and Dandies blog too. She had some amazing pieces but I think I actually like your display a little bit better. It is more cohesive as a collection.
What a cute idea, to pin your brooches on your stuffed teddy bear.
ReplyDeleteoh, all the pictures are amazing! the watch is fantastic, very very jealous.
ReplyDeletei did a post on my jewelery as well, it's interesting to see the difference between bloggers.

Hey! You don't ship to Singapore right? ):
ReplyDeleteOh! You have one of those ceramic hands. I've been lusting after one for a few years. Every time I come across one, it's drastically overpriced.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: I do ship to Singapore. The international shipping rate is $13.99 plus $5 for each additional item. Thanks!
