Today I'm sharing some special items with you in my collection. The first is a gold swan monocle necklace - I saw this at a flea market and asked the price but I didn't get it. Next thing I know, someone was tapping me on the shoulder saying he got it for me because it seemed like I really liked it. I told him I couldn't accept it but he insisted, I've never had that happen before! He wasn't creepy or anything, it was just a really sweet random act of kindness. My brother said maybe he was an angel :)
The next item is a vintage brass bird that my in-laws gave me for Christmas. It was wrapped up in a group of several boxes, each box contained a sweet little gift. It was so thoughtful of them, because they know I love vintage stuff! The 3rd is a key from my mom. She came across this listing on craigslist for a huge bag of old keys and bought them, knowing my love for old keys. It had pretty cool ones in it!
The last items are rings - 2 silver rings I wear all the time. One is from my time in England when I lived there, I got it in the local city for £3 or something and the other is a heart ring from nothing but silver (does anyone remember that store? I would go there in junior high) anyway, my mom and I both wear one. I can't even remember how long I've had it for but I never take it off :) and the other ring is a wood engagement ring that my husband made for me. What sort of special items are in your collection?
Can you believe we're already at the end of October? So crazy. I can't wait for Christmas to come soon! Hopefully the days will slow down so we can enjoy the holiday season.. although I have a feeling they won't ;) Have a wonderful weekend friends! xo.
I love your little treasures! My favourite items are those passed on to me by my mum and some of the jewellery my uncle designed and made. They all mean so much to me! Have a lovely weekend!! xx
What an original post! I love it! So fun to hear about your favorite pieces stories. What a thoughtful and observant person to get the swan monocle for you, it's super cute. I have a turquoise bracelet my dad bought me randomly when we were out once and every time I see it it brings back such sweet emotions.
lovely to see you collection of special stuff, that swan and the story are amazing, I've never really seen anything like it before http://ahandfulofhope.blogspot.co.uk/
