There is no better feeling than setting off on a day of "antique exploring" and finding something beautiful. I found this little gem in Long Street Cape Town, at the Antique Arcade and bought it for a mere 50c! People used to bye this to thread/string pearls way back before we could buy sliced bread! The design is just gorgeous & I LOVE IT! It is amazing what things may inspire a person and by looking at this I must say, I feel inspired!
