I have decided I might have an obsession with little trinkets
Especially if they are touched with gold.
I never used to be a huge gold fan.
I always seemed more drawn to a silver or platinum color.
But… over the years
my eye started gravitating towards those golds
those old tarnished brasses and bronzes
and all their richness
and I started bringing pieces wearing it home with me.
At the flea market or thrift store- if it was wearing a silver, brassy or gold finish
it was on my junking radar.
These little bottles were not thrift store trinkets
they were my grandmothers.
When we were packing things up when she moved to a care home
I found a whole collection of etched glassware
like little shot glasses
tiny fluted stems
and even a couple dainty little gold painted glasses.
She had given me a box of larger glasses that were similar to these
several years earlier so when I found the small ones
I brought them home with me
They have been stored in the buffet but the other day when
I was looking for just the perfect little vases
for just a few little delicate blooms
I thought of them and thought why not use them since
a vase can be anything- even a little dainty wine glass or 5
a vase can be anything- even a little dainty wine glass or 5
I am loving them grouped together on the silver tray on the bench in the living room
It’s a simple little vignette
of silver and gold and pale roses.
Happy Tuesday
