Going GREEN

It is time for the Cottage Colours Party again, and this time round, the colour prompt is "GREEN" . Perfect for Spring, of course, and I probably should have gone outside and photographed all the beautiful Spring greens, those delicate shades I love so much. Instead I went through my stash of bling, and boxes, and books and bits and pieces. This is what I came up with -


I think I'll start with a bit of bling -


I love this cross -


and the pale green beads on this vintage rosary -


This beautiful antique book from 1866 has a gorgeous deep green and gold cover, I especially love the spine -


I know these pages aren't green, but I just had to show you a teeny glimpse of the inside of this lovely book -


Old postcards -


A beautiful old French box, possibly a glove box -


I love the tiny gold design on this rich green background -


This faux shagreen box is also from France, and came with these cute hat pins -

The deep green velvet lining is soooo luscious!

And then there are the buttons, green buttons in every shade and shape -


And of course French buttons on their original card -


And I'll finish my GREEN post with another bit of sparkly yumminess, a small length of gorgeous trim, with tiny beads and sequins -


I hope you have enjoyed taking a look at a little bit of green prettiness.
