Now and then you just have to show a little leg.

Mourning

Whitby and French jet.

Elements of mourning.

The etiquette of grief.

 

 

Labour of Love

A true labour of love.

A bracelet length of heavy sterling silver rolo chain, oxidized to perfection. Eleven vintage French religious medals. Pearls and more pearls. Sterling wire and findings. A toggle clasp will provide the finishing touch.

Bracelet will be for sale soon, once perfect toggle is located and attached.

Let me know if you are interested.

Game Plan

Antique dominoes from various points on the globe.

When Best Friend is here, we play.

Surely the game is sweeter when the tiles have been touched by so many hands.

 

Aorta

 

Headless

They're still here.

Watching from the sidelines.

Biding their time.

 

Vintage Vials

Vintage watchmaker's vials.

Worn corks and handwritten labels are rather fetching.

Occasionally a splash of red.

A rare find, these stout little handblown vials reside in a hinged oak case.

Screw tops are a little more modern, but the weathered labels retain a vintage charm.

Tiny vials are ideal for organizing one's teeth and spare bones.

I don't know about you, but I always try to keep my teeth organized.

 

Imagine

Imagine the joy brought about by findings of a truly vintage nature.

Ginormous bead caps and stately disco balls.

Blingerous rondelles.

Delicate clasps with more sparkle than a Hollywood starlet's smile.

Filigree balls and their offspring, petite filigree spangles.

Crystal studded spacers, and undulating crystal garnished clasps.

Pitter patter goes my heart.

8 Pips

Antique playing cards.

Part of another project that I have up my sleeve.

Yes, as a matter of fact, my sleeves are voluminous.

Thank you for asking.
