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.

For the February and October babies..

A dainty amethyst ring (February birthstone) and an opal ring (October birthstone).
