I Didn't Throw It Away
Singaporean based blogger, eco-crafter and workshop facilitator Agy, of Green Issues by Agy asked if I’d like to take part in a fun blog train, exploring items that have been in my possession for over 20 years, which for whatever reason, I have not thrown away.
Queen Coronation Tea Cup
I do love a vintage tea cup, of which I have a collection. This tea cup, part of my collection, is a little bit special; given to my Mum as at a street party to celebrate the Queen Elizabeth’s 11 coronation, where all children were given one as souvenir.
Admittedly, I not much of a Royal fan, but this mug represents where I come from, and I can’t forget that. I have called Australia home for ten years now, and while Melbourne holds my soul, Britain still has my heart. They say you can take the girl out of London, but you can’t take London out of the girl .. and the tea cup, well it reminds me to remember that.
Grandma’s Leaf Brooch
This brooch is one of a few pieces that has been passed down by my late Grandmother. I hold in my possession, a few jewellery pieces and accessories from both Grandmothers, and wear different pieces on different occasions. I like to ponder where my Grandmothers’ would have bought or when they were given their jewellery to wear. Neither were particularly wealthy, but both enjoyed a sparkle or two.
Silver Watch
Another gift from my Mum; a mechanical Swiss silver watch she found in a British charity shop. I’m not much of a watch wearer, but when I do wear choose to wear one, this is the only piece I will wear.
Ankle Boots
I have a slight confession; these beloved boots have not actually been in my possession for 20 years, but they are original vintage beauties, made in Brazil in the 1960s.
I found these boots at Paddington Market in Sydney, 13 years ago, and wore them out in Sydney’s clubs that night, without a flinch. These days, my boots sit pretty in my wardrobe; my feet couldn’t handle their 9cm height anymore – that said, I’d never get rid of them. Ever.
That was fun! a trip down memory lane, and a personal thought for my attachment with old stuff.
Yesterday saw Jill from Creating my way to Success sharing her 20 year old possessions, and next up Sharon from A Vintage Crafty Adventure, shares her vintage belongings. Thank you for organising, Agy.
