Unexpected

A very antique bit of Victorian trim.

On one side of the trim is soft, soft fur--- On the other side, a tintype. A dapper dude in a dashing chapeau.

Hand carved mother of pearl buttons, chunks of autumn-hued gemstones, and sparkly rhinestone beads.

A sweet celluloid puppy dog at the very end. 

All so lovely,

so unusual,

so unexpected.

Age Before Beauty.
