Vintage Jewellery Pressies

My lovely friend Stephanie gave me the above vintage jewellery a few months ago now. My favourite necklace however, is not in the above photos as I have another post I'm saving up to show you that one!

I doubt it would surprise anyone that I've displayed these on my records - as it's easy to tell I'd be a record lover! Having a record player set up for frequent (or not so frequent) use is a timeless joy! Nothing beats the crackle before a gentle jazz tune. Perfectly suitable backdrop for vintage jewellery I think.

Can anyone tell by my latest posts I'm getting rather into the 1900's-1940's era's? Anyone else adoring the allure of those times?

I love the idea of these spoons for your family - or for special occasions like a wedding!

This photograph of my sister's fills me with childish wonder...

 Wishing I had more of this green in my wardrobe...perhaps this dress?

Sigh. I love this blouse. The whole look really.

My Garden:

Max! and a forming frame wall.

Although suffering through a nasty cold at our place, we are managing some smiles thanks to our sweet garden! It really is lovely that even when cooped up all week looking after a sick little boy, whilst being sick myself, I can wander out to the garden and find things starting to flourish. 

We are always eating freshly picked rocket, as it seems to grow back overnight! Good thing we love it here, and have managed to keep a large block of haloumi on hand to whip up a salad with - also thanks to our abundance of lettuce. (note to self: really no need to buy three punnets of lettuce)...

Our tomatoes are green but constantly growing and there are more flowers, husks are forming on the corn (although the plants themselves are rather small - anyone know if that's OK or means something??), eggplants are getting beautiful purple flowers, sesame leaves are growing well enough for a good Korean BBQ, silver beet/rainbow chard are going well enough for us to eat - although some rain damage, the beans are wonderful we are using them daily in our meals, and well everything just keeps growing! I love to see the effort we put in come to fruition - in a form of edibleness!

Have you got a garden giving goodness?
