Flea Fridays: Bling’s the thing

Candle Ring

I love these rings because they add a little bling to whatever they surround.

1950s Refillable Perfume Bottle

This one will go into the collection because it matches one of my vanity sets.

July 2, 2021

Flea Market Finds were all about the bling this week. Bling-ee beads, barrettes and bedazzled tchotchke. Some for the exhibit and some for fun.

The beads came by way of a wired crystal candle ring. The barrettes are blinged-out with rhinestones as are the vintage rhinestone hair combs I found. The tchotchke is a gold-rimmed vanity mirror and a refillable perfume bottle with gold filigree feet from the 1950s that matches a vanity set I already have in my collection.  

I also grabbed some modern ear loops because they have latched ear wires and won’t flip off when removing a mask. 

The hair combs and perfume bottle will go into the exhibit. The rest is just for fun.
