Remember Me.

I bought this beautiful, old, carved, souvenir shell at one of my favorite treasure shops (Artifacts).

What's this?

Tucked inside?

 

 Happy Valentine's Day!

J'adore

I've been putting aside a few very special French bits and bobs.

A little ooo la la.

 

Mixed with a touch of je ne sais quoi?

 

 

All making up a Paris-inspired potpourri of beautiful bling.

Soon, at Age Before Beauty.

 

Safe Travels

 This eclectic necklace features two of the dearest antique pieces. 

One is a tiny, teeny, cloth coin purse. 

 The other precious trinket is an antique mother of pearl souvenir charm. It's in the shape of a detailed book and I believe once held a picture inside (stanhope).

They both dangle from an old watch chain. The closure is its original 't' and a vintage mother of pearl ring. A very old carved bone bead and a bit of some antique mother of pearl chain.

Montmartre

A glorious antique souvenir from Montmartre, Paris, France.

Ooooolala j'adore the beautiful blue enamel. The lettering is exquisite, made up of what look like tiny dots, they are very reflective-- giving them almost a 'foil-backed' look.

And the vintage, rare, unusual stacked rhinestone ball beads! Mon Dieu!

Creamy antique mother of pearl next to deep blue gemstones... so pretty!

Just listed at Age Before Beauty.
