Aren't these little orbs of bling pretty! I started collecting these last year. Little round balls of bling among an old piece of petticoat lace. Such a pretty combination.
I hope this qualifies for White Wednesday, the old white petticoat and the white sparkle of the rhinestones....
My 3 favorites...
And a few more favorites...
I guess I like them all! Someone asked...yes, they are vintage for sure. I'm not sure how old, I can tell some of them have to be from the 60's/70's but others definitely have the that old metal look. I wish I knew more about them.
Some of you have asked what I'm going to do with them. My first plan was to hang them in a window by very fine monofiliment fish line at all different lengths, which I probably will still do with some. Since I don't make jewelry, I'd like to tie one onto a little bottle with a piece of lace, use them as little adornments on various things.
I'm glad you all enjoyed seeing them and that I found something to post that several of you have never seen.
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteHi Faye...
ReplyDeleteOhhh my...such pretties! I have seen these little rhinestone beauties before but have never thought to hang them in a window..that would be sooo pretty! I can just imagine how they would sparkle with the sunlight! What a GRAND idea! I also think that using them to decorate a bottle or such is a great idea too! They sure look pretty with the old lace in your photos, my friend! Thank you so much for sharing them with us for the Sunday Favorites repost party this week...what a treat! I do apologize at being so late to get by...it has been crazy busy at my place!
Warmest wishes,
Chari
