This is a beautiful example of old vintage Egyptian Revival – it features a beautifully painted bust of a Pharaoh on top of an ornate, octagonal sliding locket. Say that seven times fast, while you are trying to say that… I’ll be saying “I won’t fall in love with the inventory…” over and over. Sigh… I love this piece.
This weekend I moved bedrooms. The master bedroom which is really pretty is on the bottom floor. We had two of our school age sons sharing that room since we moved here several years ago. My husband and I were on the top floor so we could be with our youngest children and be on the same floor as the nursery. It seemed much safer to not have to walk up and down the stairs in the middle of the night with screaming babies. Needless to the say the top floor of our house is not as pretty- in fact it is butt ugly.
My husband and I have been staying in a room for three years that is green and has purple butterflies on the wall. The previous occupants were two little girls if I recall correctly. If you are wondering why we just didn’t paint the walls up there… we only had 3 children when we moved into our new house 3 & 1/2 years ago. Now we have five! Painting during pregnancy and when there are babies in the house is not my to my liking. Now though- our youngest is 1 and I finally feel like a human and less of a cow, so it’s time for home improvements.
If you are wondering what this has to do with jewelry it doesn’t… it just an explanation as to why the postings are sparse lately. I thought I would pop on here on Sunday and make a quick post, but it took longer then expected to have my two sons situated upstairs with no problems going back to school on Monday. I was up pretty late this weekend- and not online much. I feel like a night owl- kind of like this beautiful vintage owl necklace. Only his eyes are a beautiful moon glow yellow… mine are bulgy and red!
HOOT HOOT!
I am usually not very fond of faux pearl sets, to me they’re a dime a dozen. However, this one I like. To see what makes it stand out- take a look at the large rhinestone clasp on the necklace and the matching earrings adorned with gold tone leaves. Very nice!
