Welcome 2025! I am always happy to see a new beginning. Vintage remains my theme song and some life too.

Happy New Year dear followers and visitors!

Vintage rhinestone pin brooch. 1950s - 1960s.

I saw in Essence Nov/Dec 2024 that brooches are back. Especially the big bold ones. My note:  Grouping of small ones can also give a bigger effect.

Tilly was featured on our Christmas card 2024.

Thank you 2024. You brought a lot of good into my life. A lot of improvement.

The Blog quote for this month comes from the Brahma Kumari's...

Law of Karma:

Is the ultimate justice and it is not a punishment, but a liberation.
