A whole lotta rings!

my favorite vintage school ring and Deco amber glass ring with new rings that are going to be listed soon :)

the trip is confirmed!

... and I'm going to London next month! - this time I'm taking the plane alone. I'm starting to think if it will be boring for this 17 hours long trip- *urgh. However I'm still pretty excited and the husband bought me a new luggage bag for this trip yesterday :)

The weather in London is pretty cold in November so I've been making a list of "what-to-bring" in case I forget something important, for example, a coat or my husband's baby pillow. (ahh yes, i can be a little muddleheaded sometimes || and yep, I need that pillow to sleep- I'm insomniac, it's pretty much of a hereditary problem.)

I know of a few places in London that I will be visiting again (Camden market, portobello market..) but I am hoping to go more places for my 7 days trip. Please do share if you know of any great places to go!

tiny little fox figurine

I think foxes are really cool creatures and I like miniature stuff, so this is what i bought last week.

Tiny fox figurine from the shop cameoco with a tiny Buddha that my dad got me ( p.s, i got the same one for him too :) )

animal biscuits

these Japanese butter animal biscuits makes me smile :)

little water plants.

under the bright afternoon sunlight..

{ this was my dad's but I brought it back home with me in fear that the water will evaporate off in the 3 months while they're away }

It's a rainy day and i'm home alone..

my parents went to UK last week (for 3 months!) and my husband's working so i'm sort of home alone and I, out of boredom, took a pic of what I am eating currently while trying to blog at the same time... behold!..

delicious chocolate mochi bread & an almond sugar puff :-)

I know, it's so random right? oh wait, I will be adding this lovely ring to the shop today too!

1980s vintage / 9k gold / emerald and diamond ring // FRESH MINT

things lying on my table..

..my two chatelaine purses. The one on the left is from France and the one on the right is from the Victorian era. I loved how delicate and detailed these purses are and have been bringing them around with me wherever I go.

The black button on the left is a WW1 military button with a hidden compartment for photos, it is currently holding a photograph of a lady named Ruth inside I kept the button and the small locket inside the French purse alongside with my coins. The heart shaped photo locket on top of the purses is my newest acquisition, a mourning locket for the baby with pictures of her parents on the right. 

There is an antique marcasite ring in my purse today too! 

I love the flowers and leaves details on the French purse - 

 Aren't they pretty? 

- so what's lying on your tables today? -

recently...

some of the items that are going to be in the shop the next few weeks :)

Notice the heart shape locket at the bottom? it's now mine :) I was actually going to sell it but when i open it up to check for verdigris+ see what else i can find, i found out that it was actually a mourning locket for the baby, the baby's full name and the date of birth and death was written neatly behind the photograph with love.  Such sad but sweet locket- I decided to keep it.
