heir-loom

Good morning to you on this lovely Friday and boy isn't it another chilly one i am wearing my adorable throw which i picked up at a local opportunity shop in Western Australia when i lived there a year or two ago- what a bargain at only six dollars

Yesterday i picked up these cute little mitten gloves i could not resist and why would i? They are very useful in this chill



total cuteness with benefit



The last couple of weeks i have been wearing my grandmother; Margaret Gardner's, exquisite collection of brooches and jewellery. She left them to me when she passed away and although i have had them in my possession for some time i have always been a little reserved in wearing them in fear of losing or damaging them in some way.

Lately i have stepped out of that comfort zone and indulged in the beauty of the aged pieces by dressing quite on the contrary and including the cameo brooch and ring as accessories. I always wear her signature ring on my right hand which i have always loved, it looks so classic in it's style, shape and colour of gold.

Margaret's collection

Her brooches are one of a kind and dad told me she used to go bird watching, which is wear she collected the little blue and white badge- it says on it Royal Forest & Bird Protection Society NZ-Member. I wonder if she wore that black and white name badge too?

It's a shame that grandparents leave us early on, there's so much to learn from them

Happy Friday! :)x o
