So I have really been drawn to "old" things lately.  And thankfully I have two very generous grandmothers who also happen to be old - although one has passed on.  Over the years they have been so kind to pass down lovely treasures to me and I feel like recently I have really started to appreciate their gifts even more.  When my grandma passed away, she left to me (her only granddaughter) an extensive jewelry collection.  I have spent many an hour sorting through old broaches, clip on earings, beaded necklaces, watches, rings and charms and I still don't feel like I really know what all is in that chest!  Here is an image of just one of the many drawers full of Grandma's wonderful mysterious beautiful accessories.  A true "old things" lover's dream!
