LA DOLFINA

When I'm out treasure hunting I always keep my eye out for beautiful and unusual ways to store my jewelry and accessories. When I found this vintage Asian brush holder it was only a matter of time before several of my favorite necklaces joined in. I can never resist the vintage lovlies like this one in blue velvet for displaying bracelets. A dear friend spied this beauty while we were at "his" flea market and bought it for my birthday instructing me to hang my rings on it. Pretty brilliant huh? I have a weakness for boxes, especially ones in natural stone. Oftentimes I'll place a favorite brooch on top for decoration. I simply adore this duo!

One of the things I love best about design is "The Art of Display".  It's probably because I love to collect "treasures", or what I like to call, "the jewelry of the room".   I also find it the most challenging part of the design process.  I'm so impressed when I come across  beautifully composed vignettes such as these.  It's the arrangement that brings them to life!   * I am so sorry I have not credited any of the above images as I'm still struggling with how to do it.  I find them and file them away until I'm ready to use them and I can't remember where they came from! Lynn from Paris Boutique Hotel has told me about Pinterest which helps with cataloging and crediting images but since my son has left for college I'm at a loss without his aid.  I am so glad you all love them as much as I do and if anyone knows who they belong to, please let me know.  Thank you. ...
