Beautiful Belated Christmas Presents



Art Deco style watch and (please don't berate me) elephant ivory pendant. I absolutely hate the idea of people killing animals for fashion, but this is a very old necklace (1920s ish) and hunting for ivory is now illegal. The fact is that I would love it even if it was made from plastic and I know I will treat it with care and respect as the deed is already done and it deserves to belong to someone who appreciates it fully on more than just an aesthetic level.

On a lighter note, the wonderful Dahl from the blog
L’Arc En Ciel
has nominated me for a Stylish Blogger Award and first of all I would like to thank her and tell her how sweet that was and how much I appreciate her insightful and intelligent blog

Now I'm supposed to say seven things about myself so....

  1. I am left-handed
  2. I have a fully fledged phobia of moths
  3. I can fold my tongue in half and keep it there without holding it or anything (photo on request)
  4. I am obsessed with blackbirds and cats
  5. I sold my soul for a new Olympus PEN camera, and hate myself slightly for it
  6. I am happiest when I am singing to a song I love
  7. I have never left New Zealand, but desperately want to
My Nominations...
L’Arc En Ciel
MILK TEETHS
  Velvet Bitchez
The Upside Of Wonder

The recipient is supposed to link back to the givers blog, thank them, then write a post about the award, writing 7 things about themself and nominating their own favourite stylish bloggers.

Enjoy!

    I'm glad you were happy with the award! I really love your watch and the necklace. It is sad what happened to elephants back in time, but I agree with you that the deed is done and that's a great piece of jewelry. I love cats too! And I also love singing along to good songs. Your tongue trick sounds awesome ;) Thank you for nominating me again! That is too sweet!

    The watch is gorgeous and I agree with you on vintage fur/ ivory items. If the deed has been done at the time when it was permissible, these items have all the more right to go into loving homes where people will understand and cherish them for more than their artistic/ aesthetic value.

    BTW I loved the photo of your tongue folding....I have never really known anyone who can do that and made a huge fool of myself in Ripley's believe it or not museum infront of a hidden camera trying to do that. :)

    I am your newest follower

    Look forward to hearing from you

    Love
