Jewellery Storage

I had a conundrum… I decided to re-arrange my bedroom and realised that my extensive jewellery collection extended far beyond the tiny jewellery box that it currently called home. I stumbled across pieces of jewellery that I hadn’t worn in months, simply because it was the unlucky piece that fell to the bottom of my unorganised pit. I was determined to come across something new and interesting – a new home for my obvious obsession.

So I went out in search of something not only efficient, but effective too.  That was when I discovered these vintage mannequins!

I threw all my necklaces around the neck, attached my bracelets up the stem and even added a scarf and broach for decoration!

Now not only does all my jewellery have its own spot, but it looks great too. I can even use it to plan the accessories I want to wear with each outfit. Never again will my jewellery become a tangled mess, out with the old and in with the new!  Bianca

Chosen View – A Bygone Era

Tuesday I finally got into  the city to visit the  Museum of Brisbane  where they're showcasing a wonderful collection of Glass Slide images of daily life and activities taken by Alfred Henry Elliot, a Brisbane resident and photograher. The collection is called Chosen View.  The glass slides were discovered in 1983 under a house in Red HIll neatly packed in cigar boxes.

    
There were some images of  the voting / polling booths back in 1899.  Considering are elections are the hot topic of the day I thought it very appropriate to put this image first.

Some of  Brisbane's more well known landmarks

And just a little closer to home, the Enoggera Reservoir

There are so many more images to view, but I don't want to spoil it by showing them all to you, it's definitely worth the visit into the Museum of Brisbane at 157 Ann Street, open Monday – Friday, 10.00 am – 5pm

Take a peak

Our latest pieces in fashion by Jersey Girl Netting & Embroidery – Modern Vintage don't you think?

Notice the detail along the lower half of the Tunic Top (middle) & the Dress at the rear.  The Dress is available in two colourways  Black on Cream (as pictured here) and Black on Black.

I simply fell in love with these Indian Silver stands with Glass covers. We are displaying and containing our scented soy melts in them but they're also a great way to display other  trinkets & knick knacks like  Baby shoes, your first ballet slippers, assortment of shells & corals, jewellery or even a vintage book. Anything that you would normally put in a cabinet put it in the dome and place it on a side board at the front door, on the the coffee table, in the kitchen ……….

I have simply fallen in love with the clocks that have arrived.  I have one on my vanity bench in the bathroom – now I have no reason to be running late for anything and cannot use the excuse of  “I couldn’t see the clock.”  Another little treasure that I have invested in – but no picture shown sorry – is the Bross Tray. It’s a little silver tray measuring approx  17cm x 10cm and it is great for putting in small jewellery items, watches, rings, cuff links and bracelets onto whilst in the bath / shower.

This side tables’ tray and legs have beautifully etched designs featured on them and can be used as a telephone, refreshments, lamp or bedside table and if space is an issue – the legs fold away and the tray has a hook on the back so that it can be hung as a wall decoration. Now thats versatile and only $149.95 it’s also a fantastic buy.
