I have included this antique style cameo as I just adore the floral detail !
I love to display vintage jewelry with vintage textiles, purses, compacts, pin cushions, boudoir pillows and lace hankies. It is even more special when the items have a sentimental value. The crocheted gloves and compacts belonged to my Gramma in the 1930s and the small green jewelry box contains her Wedding and Engagement rings.
The little enamel ring with the pink rose looks sweet resting on this pink pin cushion.
A round lace pillow is a wonderful way to showcase your B*L*I*N*G
I don't have too many vintage brooches right now, but they do look lovely displayed together. Aren't those little keys the cutest!!!
I love rhinestones and opaque stones mixed together for contrast.
This multi-colored opal is not real . . . but it certainly looks genuine.
My favorite vintage jewelry ~ Gramma's wedding rings ~ are stored safely in the original box. Isn't it darling !
The original signed and dated Guarantee is enclosed. My Grampa kept everything :).
My Gramma's crocheted gloves look wonderful with the jewelry box.
Thanks for dropping by! I look forward to seeing your photos !

What wonderful heritage your grandparents have given to you. The ring, the original box and even the paperwork, wow! I love the opaque and rhinestones, and the (not real) opal with rhinestones. They are beautiful
What a lovely post, Karen. It all looks beautiful! Love your Grandma's rings in that sweet box!

I just love the idea of displaying things on a cushion.

I know this is off topic...well, our lowly Flames couldn't do it either! I hope some heads will roll...there needs to be a changing of the guard up top...we just have one more team left...it would be nice to see them go all the way...
Thanks for listening to the rant of the day...
Hugs, Nancy
I've never seen a ring box like that! It's so cool!! By the way, you're my new hero... You know how to change the wallpaper on my blog??? I would love to do that sometime. If you don't mind emailing me the 411 (?) My email is countingyourblessings@gmail.com Thank you, thank you!! Blessings... Polly
Hi Nancy ! I know, I was hoping your team would win game 7. My dad is happy though ~ Montreal won their series. I will cheer for them too. ~ Karen
Hi Polly! Thank you so much for the new banner (to be posted later tonight once I add my blog name etc). It will look great!
I emailed you the instructions for changing the wallpaper background on your template. Please let me know if they are clear/helpful. It is just a matter of replacing one code with another. It does look great when the banner and the wallpaper complement each other! Thanks again.
Tomorrow I will do a post on your lovely banners :).

Such pretties! You have a very artistic eye for display Karen ... beautiful!
