Snippets 2

Snippets

I love that word!

According to the dictionary a ‘snippet’ is:  a small piece snipped off, a small bit,

scrap, morsel, or fragment

Just for your info as I’m sure you will need to know this -

It is also:  a small or mischievous person.  
 Hmmm, could be referring to me…?

Okay, now that bit is settled. 

 Snippet # 1 

Once again I was ‘browsing’ the antiques and brocantes,

and happened upon several petite treasures.

   

A dusty pink jewelry box caught my eye

Luckily there were smaller treasures tucked inside

Two golden filgree lockets, ivory buckle, tie clip, silver charms,

ladies pocket-knives?!  Quite a varied collection!

Snippet # 2

I found a few other vintage lovelies,

and then I remembered I am way overdue for a giveaway!

I’ll be posting the details this week. 

I hope you like it!
