Travels and Treasures

Jewellery. Accessories. Bags. All of these things mean treasure to me. I think it's my Nanna's fault, she always had tins full of glistening cocktail jewellery for us to rummage through when we went to visit. From South Shields, she's a proper magpie - coming back from jumble sales with the wacky, weird but truly magical. Guess I've inherited the hoarding habit...

Decided to do a quick staging of some jewellery, since so much of what I have is exciting and odd. I won't name everything, just pick out a few bits, but please open the photos in a new tab so you can zoom in for more detail! This collection is, Phileas Fogg... steampunk... railways and halcyon days. Tough brown leather and a lust for adventure.
