A bit of Glamour Amidst the Dust

I haven't been writing many posts lately due largely to the ongoing renovation of our house.  From experience (and we have plenty of that when it comes to house renovations) it's a good idea once in a while to emerge from the dust and destruction to remind yourself that there is still enchantment and glamour in the world.

Luckily for me I have the opportunity to handle such lovely things that I can indulge in a bit of daydreaming of more elegant times which for me is encompassed by the Art Deco period of the 1920s and 1930s.

This beautiful cut glass perfume atomiser epitomises the taste of the 1930s

And if you can't afford diamonds this stunning topaz bracelet is the next best thing

Don't forget to keep the champagne on ice with this Art Deco ice bucket

A long string of pearls are a classic oozing with elegant Art Deco style

And perhaps after dinner cocktails made in a cut glass cocktail shaker are a good way to round off a sophisticated evening of indulgence

This little opaque glass Art Deco pin dish has found a permanent home on my dressing table and always brings a smile to my face

All being well the next month or so is going to be a busy time for my Etsy Shop so my posts will probably continue to be a bit few and far between but remember when reality bites that there's nothing better for the soul than to let a little glamour and sparkle into your life.
