These are a few of my favorite things...

While living in Fort Collins, Colorado, I had a friend of a friend stop in my house with a trunk full of vintage costume jewelry. I ogled all the individual pieces in that trunk for well over an hour, and spent as much money as I could feasibly let go of. This is one of the treasures that stayed with me that day, and I recently found it buried atop my dresser in a pile of jewelry that needs a good sorting. I love it. Looking back on that evening, I loved all of it. ..what a good experience, and what a great piece of jewelry!
