Remember the gorgeous dresser I’ve been coveting forever? Thanks to my husband this Christmas, it’s now mine, all mine! For the last couple weeks I’ve been working to create the perfect dresser-top mise-en-scene of personal effects, photos, and knick-knacks. To finish it off, I found this pretty little jewelry stand to organize and display my favorite necklaces and bangles. Loving it!
You know you’re old when the fashion trends of your youth come back around to haunt you. The ’70s were all over the runways for Spring 11, and while I just can’t get behind the resurgence of high-waisted jeans, I’ll drop a tenner on these feather earrings. Sure, why not.
This sterling silver honeycomb ring features a little brass bee perched on your finger. A knuckle sandwich never tasted so sweet.
Last weekend was the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair in San Francisco. There was a ton of crafty goodness to browse, and I knocked a few more names off of my holiday gift-list. Mother-in-law? Check. Sister-in-law? Check. And for myself? Um, check, check, check. I couldn’t help it. The lovely up-cycled jewelry by Cara Lyndon was my downfall. Tell me you could resist this gold necklace with vintage brass lockets? I bet you can’t.
This year I will…
“read the classics, conquer the souffle, learn to cha-cha, take up the trumpet, fall head over heels”
What a wonderfully inspiring and whimsical little bangle to kick off the new year! I’m ordering this right now for my best friend.
