My grandmother just sent me a box of antique jewelry and doodads!  I was so excited last night to rummage through all of the sentimental pieces.  I’m not sure what I am going to do with all of it, but I have some creative ideas going.  Here is a peak at the goods:

The island covered in all the treasures.

I really loved this little tray. My grandma said it was very old. I thought it might look cute in the bathroom when we get in refinished.

A gorgeous cameo and some really pretty crystals.

Another cameo and a very old pin and rings.

Two old jewelry boxes and a sweet locket.

This box was special because my uncle made all of these turqoise and jade rings and pieces. His sign is a paw print and is engraved on the back of each piece.

Exciting huh?  I will let you all know what I do with some of the pieces… I can feel the creative juices flowing…
