Today I'm going to ask you .. Do you have an early memory of favourite jewelry??
I don't have to scratch too deeply to remember the lady next door, with her 1950's costume jewelry at her vanity table. Back in those days, all the ladies' had vanity tables that matched their bedroom suites.
Mrs. Foster had a treasure trove of what is now probably collectable pieces. She would let me try things on. What an impression for a little kid !
It's amazing how wearing the "right" piece of jewelry can transform how you feel. Back then, I was sure I would grow up to be a princess. I wonder how many of these great over-the-top 50's pieces ended up in thrift shops?
The next piece that was indelibly imprinted into my brain was a turquoise ring my mom bought in Arizona in the early 60's. I loved it !
I coveted it ! And one year in my teens, she gave it to me for Christmas. Heaven !! It had what was perhaps pyrite embedded in it. Of course, I thought it was silver. Unfortunately it got lost. oh woe !
WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER?
