Costume Jewelry

Oh How I love old costume jewelry from years ago. Maybe 1920-1970's maybe just all costume jewelry.

I got this pin once from an auction and love the coral face cameo. It is a large pin and I did wear it couple times on jackets then back when altered art jewelry got popular I added it to my favorite rhinestone necklace I purchased once in Portland Oregon at the Expo antique show, which had to be in early 1990's? I didn't damage the pin any, I was careful not to damage the rhinestone necklace or the cameo. It can easily be taken apart.



I was looking though a glass door cabinet I have lots small treasure stored in and this was laying so beautifully on top of an old antique glass travel jar with a sterling lid.
The little rose buds are 14k the bow sterling !



 Guess I could have cleaned it before taking these pictures , I love it




We still have snow and ice and I like everyone else is waiting patiently on warm spring weather. We have no choice but to wait patiently. In the mean time I am inside playing with old jewelry and rearranging one of my dish cabinets with lots odds and end of dishes covered in roses.

Have you noticed instead of business saying have a nice day, they are saying have a wonderful  day? I have noticed it a few places , just a thought.

PINK Saturday 

Home Sweet Home

It's still icy and very cold here, however the sun is out this morning. I am staying in and making Valentine cards and a pot of soup, also trying to find things LOL as usual,always looking for something. Don't You?

In my what I call my home office I have lots empty large gold frames on a wall and have smaller frames inside of them,most are very old chippy frames which I like a lot. Thought I would show a few for this post



I don't follow  instruction on how to make your home pretty I just do what I like and stick it all together LOL  I love Charles Faudree the designer and would love to have one of his french kitchens he designed years ago he passed away however I'm always looking for his large table top books



I found this round star burst frame once in a resale shop for $1



This picture below is a newer frame 1990's.I still love my red walls in my office, they need  repainted I had a painter paint it several years ago and now it's looking sort of french, you know like the paint is rubbing off in areas

These frames are mostly wood



Since it's close to Valentine's I'll post this sweet little picture which is a piece of toile material I framed



Also the sheep is out of the same piece of material.I have them hanging inside of a larger frame



I am glad to be home this morning and working on a couple projects before I have to get out and about,hope your Saturday is good also.
