I got a lovely surprise in the mail from interstate during the week......a few bits and pieces from my stepmother who is cleaning out drawers since the passing of my Dad at Christmas
Some gorgeous 1950's earrings, necklace, brooch and sweet marcasite watch worn by my glamorous Aunt
Older pieces including part of an old pocket watch
Engraved on the back
All lovely editions to my small collection of costume jewellery
Also in the package was a pair of vintage ballet slippers
Dozens of bush roses pruned

Wonderful jewelry and I am happy that your lovely step-mother passed it on to you. I still love your photos of the views of your property and surroundings. Look forward to some winter shots. Or does it ever get really cold there? Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteAmazing views and property. The jewelry is a sheer delight what a lovely surprise in the post. I love the beautiful hat stand with that delightful veil. Have a great weekend.

ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that she passed all those beauties on to you -- I love that beauty of a watch, and the pearl pin is so sweet! What fabulous views you have! I'd be sitting and looking all day :)
ReplyDeleteI got all weak in the knees when I saw all these pretty pretty things. Why do newer things not get me all goofy like the older stuff? Must be the history. It is looking quite serene at your home. XXOO
ReplyDelete1950s jewellery is so evocative and feminine. I was born in the late 50s, so it reminds me of my Mum.
ReplyDeleteSuch a thoughtful and sensitive present.
