Rhinestone Pocket Watches!

While looking through my picture files last night I was reminded of how much I love antique rhinestone pocket watches as necklaces - so glamorous! I had favorited quite a few in my etsy searches, but had not purchased one yet... Until last night, when I found the above beauty and knew that the time had come. So, she's on her way to my house to be worn as a necklace - and she really works, too!

Here are a few of the other beautiful rhinestone pocket watches available on etsy...

February Inspirations

Mmm...isn't February a lovely month? It's my Birthday month, Valentine's day, and a month full of beautiful winter wonderland weather. Here are a few images that are inspiring me this month.

Vintage Gold & Crystal Candleholders

These are one of the latest additions to my decorating accessories - vintage gold and crystal candleholders. These are brass and are quite heavy with hanging crystal prisms. There are so many variations on this type of candleholder. Some have marble bases, others come with matching bowl centerpiece. They are common at antique stores and also easily found on Etsy, where I purchased this pair.

I have a pair of similar candleholders in my living room, but was inspired to use them as a dining room table centerpiece after seeing a pair on a television show 'The City'. I thought they looked cute, especially amongst the otherwise modern decor.
