sharing my love of vintage
vintage bling! a few years ago while visiting New York I was at a flea market somewhere in Pennsylvania. Bitterly cold. An old man was selling some junk jewellery and I bought a few pieces. I love old brooches! these are my collection - oh I have lots more, but ms*sophie has discovered that they look great on her denim jacket. I keep these in a pressed glass sugar bowl, just to take out sometimes, feel them and dream They are not expensive pieces, some are missing stones, others missing a clasp but they were loved - by who? and just where did they wear them to?

Oh, Oh, Oh! I just love those! *looking green with envy*
I have my Grandmas collection of costume jewellery.It lives in a vintage chocolate box that Grandad adapted.We love to get it out and look at all the pretty stones.Maybe it deserves a post of it's own.
I love vintage jewelry too. I never seem to wear any of it but like you I love looking at it and the granddaughters love trying it on and asking when I will give the "jewels" to them.
I collect them too! So pretty I bet altogether in your bowl.
That is just it....like faith there are many different types of PINS we can put on our jacket, some are sparkly, some are expensive, some are simple and straightforward, each has its own beauty, each adds shine and makes the day look prettier, it is however not the PIN that gives faith! Pins sets us an example, but it is our soul that lives it and shares it in our daily life..You are a Beautiful example Robyn, You let all your pins shine and ask us to let our pins shine...without judgement, without LABEL..you live and let live, you say:
I am a person of prayer, pray with me in whatever belief you have. You don't limit who can pray or how one prays...you simply ask for us to pray for one antoher. Your prayer is a pin I'd wear gladly!!
Oh They are lovely! I too have a lot of costume jewellery,I get a lot of it for my shop here in the UK,but often it doesnt even hit the shop,I particularly like 1950s reverse carved brooches,you will have seen them they look like clear lucite with roses or flowers in them,infact they have been carved into the brooch from the reverse.I love the sparkly paste brooches too,I like to pin them to lampshades for a vintage touch!
They ae gorgeous, and all the more valuable for having history!
That's very beautiful vintage bling bling Robyn and I can see where Mrs. Sophie comes from, I always loved to wear my mum's old jewelery, broches etc. on my jeans jackets too when I had her age and I still have this bling bling love
Oh my...those are gorgeous! Reminds me of my Mema's jewelery...love it all!
