Sunday's Treasures,Monday's Pleasures!!!

Yesterday i made a quick stop to Sunday's Flea Market.I didn't have much money or time but i manage to buy these things with only 30euros.

This piece of furniture cost me only 25euros and it couldn't arrive in a better time.I was in desperate need for something like this, since i was looking for ways to storage all the jewellery i'm making !

I'm guessing it's from the mid 60's and with good make over it's gonna be great and it will fit perfectly in my new showroom which is gonna be ready in a few days!

I'm thinking "dusty pink" velvet inside the drawers!!!

I love the print in my new 45's case!

...and this egg holders are soooo cute!!!!

Sincerely,
Swell Dame

I have often said that I wish I had invented blue jeans: the most spectacular, the most practical, the most relaxed and nonchalant. They have expression, modesty, sex appeal, simplicity - all I hope for in my clothes.
