Theme: Old-fashioned | Become a Photo Hunter
This theme reminds me of a song on a Mandy Patinkin CD that I have which has the line, “I’m old-fashioned, but I don’t mind it.” 
I tend to be old-fashioned in a lot of my tastes and views. The only things I’m terribly modern about are my appliances and technology.
I thought of using my show and tell post from yesterday about an old raisin rack and a cross-stitched sampler as double duty today since they’re very old-fashioned. But I decided to go with something different, though this picture also did appear on a previous show and tell post.
I love old-fashioned looking jewelry, and these are a few of my favorites. None was very expensive; all but two were gifts. But I just love how they look.
The one on the center bottom row with the pink roses and pearls is from a company called 1928. I love their Vintage Collection.
I also like the old-fashioned look of the Battenburg lace on the dresser scarf above.

I too ! these are lovely pieces ! I see your Photo Hunt is already up, mine too, but here it is saturday since a few hours. I found this word quite difficult because “old fashioned” and antiques are sometimes borderline.

Happy Weekend.

Very nice! I’m Chinese Malaysian so I hardly ever see jewellery like this. Very different from old fashioned chinese jewellery!
January 26, 2008 at 10:50 am
That’s a lovely collection of accessories. I admire each lovely piece of jewelry.
January 26, 2008 at 11:27 am

These are perfect for our theme this week. My mom had several cameos. So many interesting old fashioned things we seeing today. Nice take on the theme.
January 26, 2008 at 12:09 pm
Wow – what a gorgeous photo.
Lovely collection!
January 26, 2008 at 12:31 pm
You have a beautiful collection and I love the lace too. I have held on to a lot of old lace and jewelry myself although I don’t take as good care of it as I should. I enjoyed seeing yours.
January 26, 2008 at 12:36 pm
a great collection for sure! I think my grandmother had a great collection like that too.
January 26, 2008 at 1:02 pm
Those are absolutely gorgeous, and a wonderful photo of them.
January 26, 2008 at 2:31 pm
gorgeous collection – nothing more classic than cameo -just beautiful pieces!
my old-fashioned photo is here if you get a chance.
have a nice weekend!
January 26, 2008 at 3:06 pm

January 26, 2008 at 9:37 pm
beautiful
January 27, 2008 at 12:04 am
I love the blue cameo. I wore one once (not as nice as that) on a velvet ribbon around my throat, the old-fashioned way, and many people complimented me on it. I think cameos are so unique and stylish!
January 27, 2008 at 12:19 pm
Hi Barbara, they’re a beautiful collection! I wish I would have more interest in collection of such beautiful items…
Oh yes, you have an award waiting for you!
January 27, 2008 at 1:21 pm
How lovely! I don’t wear a lot of jewelry, but I do love the “old-fashioned” pieces like that.
January 27, 2008 at 6:37 pm
What a beautiful collection, Barbara. The pieces are so delicate and feminine, I especially love the cameos!
