Girl with a Pearl Necklace

The week has started well - on the way home from work today I found (as in bought) this lovely simulated pearl necklace, still in it's orginal box with guarantee.


The date on the guarantee is 21/12/59 - so probably it was purchased as a Christmas present, it's lovely to have a bit of information with finds.



Also found 3 pretty 30s plates and a vase, all purchased in different shops but somehow the colours go well together.


This is a Barker Bros. design called Blossom Time.


Lovely pink and blue hydrangeas on the vase (as I'm writing this I realise I photographed the back of the vase, the flowers are much more profuse on the front!)


Also, this wallpaper which will be lovely as a lining for drawers and cupboards.


Hope your week has started well too!

  4. OH Lucy Bloom, those pearls are just gorgeous. You should pop them on and cook up a storm in the kitchen, complete with vintage pinafore apron and high heel shoes. You may as well have a little drinky beside you as you cook as well, a champagne glass or a china tea cup, either would do.
    They are beautiful, great find.

  8. Sometimes the boxes for the vintage jewelery are more attractive than the gems, but not in this case. Everything is absolutely beautiful. Having just seen Julie and Julia, I think you should put them on and cook, too. xx
