sparklies!!

 
I received the neatest package in the mail from Auntie Tina! She sent me all kinds of beautiful jewelry for my costuming. Unfortunately a couple of the pictures got scrambled on my computer, but are these not gorgeous? The ones above were the ones that are going to inspire me to do a Victorian era outfit.

 
This set makes me think of earlier this century. I love rhinestone jewelry. I tend to wear it when I dress up (in real life I mean!)


 
I think these earrings might be my favorite. They're so sparkly!


 
The goody package also had the neatest antique laces, linens, and beading. I think it may have been a lady's lace swatch box. These are my favorite two lace swatches. I can't believe how tiny the stitches are on the top one. I can't even imagine how she did them!

Thank you Auntie Tina!
