Sometimes I get so used to the objects around me that I no longer see them anymore. Then something happens – like dusting and cleaning – and suddenly I get reacquainted with a treasure or two. Like these little china pieces, made in Japan, with such sweet faces.
Don’t these vintage figurines have a lovely look to them? Sort of like a photo of a baby from the 1920’s – or of a flapper. Lillian Gish-ish.
In other news, I won a giveaway at The Gardener’s Cottage. Janet graciously offered the chance to win a piece of Julie LoRusso’s gorgeous jewelry. I chose her signature bracelet – pearls with chalcedony. And Julie also sent a pink agate (for healing) pendant for my Mom. I am in love with this bracelet- I’m wearing it now. Thank you, Janet and Julie!
Finally, I’ve started another blog – just for photos. I am posting one photo a day with a caption. That’s all. I’d love for you to stop by. It is called Through a Lens Daily. There is also a link to it on my sidebar. I’ve only done 2 posts so far. I love photography and this gives me the chance to experiment and play.
Charming. Amazing what a little dusting will do. You know I’m off to see you new blog. Great idea.
what a sweet post. love the idea of becoming reacquainted with things. i like the figure with the little green cap!

HI CLAUDIA,
THEY ARE JUST PRESCIOUS, THEIR FACES ARE ADORABLE.
I MUST POST MY OWLS, THEY ARE LOVELY, AND THEY JUST SIT IN MY CHINA CLOSET. HAVE A NICE DAY. RIZZI
What would we do without our little pretties, so special to us in their own unique way? Congrats on the jewelry!
