trinkle of my musings

DSC_0008DSC_0005DSC_0011DSC_0009DSC_0004DSC_0014

Sometimes it's all about the sincere little things that make you smile. And being that I'm a complete pack rat for all sorts of trinkets that are quaint, colorful, quirky, informative, or pretty much just emanating a lovely antiqued dose of history...I just had to share my personal and precious little musings so to speak.

Just a glimpse of what's adorning my room these days (from top to bottom):

1. Moroccan style teal bangle and vintage round jewelry box stacked on some pleasant tiny coffee table books (btw: Whitehead's Colossus of New York is a must read). Antique votive candle holders. Scalloped shell mirror that I spray painted white.

2. A better image of what's lined up on my fireplace mantle... A London painting that my boyfriend Lucas gave me during a happily spooky trip to the Tower of London, my interpretive sketch of a cat wearing Marc Jacobs (don't know what I was on about when I drew it but I liked it enough that I decided to frame it), white Ikea and Target trinkets (basically anything tiny, white, and ceramic I'll buy...oh, and if I can put a tea candle in it..yeah, even better!)

3. A close-up shot of the 70's antique wooden cat (possibly one of the best figurines I sneakily scooped up from my mom's living room). I wish I could detach that silver necklace nailed to its frame and wear it as an arm cuff.

4. My little mannequin when I feel like being silly and playing "stylist". Either that or a useful tool for my Ebay sellings.

5. More coffee table fashion books. I've collected loads and am still in the process of reading all of them. Consider them inspiration on a shelf.

6. A wood carved 1950s plaque that I found sadly collecting dust in my mom's basement. I just had to wipe it down and give it a new "home". Also, I admire the Hummel-style artwork and the significant message at the bottom.

I agree with you on this. It's really the small things that add so much to your life. I am myself in love with trinkets and did a post on them a while ago.

I love the things that are adorning your room. What joy!
