Earlier this week I re-donated some shoes[stunning avocado green suede sandals and one pair of leather sandals in sage green] that were heavenly to look at but absolutely hell to wear as they were 10cm heels. I don’t know what I was thinking as I am on the waiting list for two, yes two knee replacements. Well actually I was actually thinking they would go nicely with my green tapestry handbag while conveniently forgetting my age and surgical status. Imagine my delight the next day when I found this gorgeous pair of rust coloured Spanish strappy sandals that still look kind of cute and are comfortable to boot.
On Tuesday I found a beautiful necklace and bracelet set by Pilgrim. Love the name, and after googling found out that they are quite reasonably priced new and that Myer sells them, as well as a lot of boutique stores, including this shop in Paddington. I wore the set today and what I really love about it is that my neck didn’t go green! Copper based jewellery has a horrible affect on my skin but Pilgrim is sterling silver or real gold so although this looked like copper it didn’t have that result, whew!
The other jewellery pictured is from late last year from the same store, and no I am not telling you which one! That was a few months in the collecting, although all the Aurora were found within a week of each other. Not totally sure where the Aurora is made, it is signed AURORA, and on ebay they have it as being from the 50′s…does anyone know anything about AURORA?
Other wonderful news was that my dear Janey’s parcel arrived, a gorgeous handbag that she crafted herself. More of that next time, I’ll make sure I have it out well before my husband’s bedtime so that I can photograph it. She also made a lovely pink hearts tablerunner for Valentines Day today for her home and hubby said “but it is pink”. You can see it here. I have also found a wonderful young designer of handbags, Kara Smith, and she is hopefully going to help relieve me of some of my vintage fabrics. I am so happy they are going to such a talented designer. You can find her here.
Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
