spille


Vintage jewellery






Antiques' fairs, flea markets, vintage bijoux, second hand stores... I love to browse them lazily, find that perfect and unique piece, spend time bargaining and enjoying the beautiful displays. Look at these precious brooches, aren't they pretty? Can you guess which one is my favorite?




Thought this would be a good addition to Ruby Tuesday ~ Check it out

  2. Ooh! What pretties. I'm guessing the ruby brooch, haha. No, really, it is nice. I like the glimpse of mosaic in the corner, too.

  12. Ha ha, Chuck, Lois and Valeria nailed my taste, I'd go with the portrait brooch, although Rob&Mandy got close with my second favorite the parrot. No one suggested the bee...
    Petrea you can have the ruby brooch.
    And Stephanie, my favorite part of this photo is the glimpse of mosaic in the corner...

    Thank you all, I love and cherish each and every one of your comments. I apologize for not replying to you individually but if you head over to Aglio, Olio & Peperoncino you'll see why... I'm hosting a PIZZA PARTY!!

  17. I don't know about your favourite, but mine would have to be the bee with the jeweled eye. I had one very similar to that when I was a kid (yeah, I'm vintage too!). Even the stone was the same colour. Lovely collection you have. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today. I'm glad to meet you. :)

  22. i think your favourite is the cameo with the girl in red dress, or maybe the one directly above with the alien looking face.
    I like the one in the lower left corner -- the red rhinestone looking one.
