1930's Sequined Top



I acquired this beautiful top from my great grammy, who said belonged to her sister. And how gorgeous it is! I adore the scalloped hem and the beaded trim that falls from it. I really wish I could have met my great aunt. I started collecting hats when I was given a small box of hats that belonged to her. Boy, did she have a lovely sense of fashion. :)

I love mail.

Something very exciting came in the mail this past week! 

 
Looks like something took a nibble at the corner. :)
I received the first edition of I Capture the Castle (1948)! There are quite a few out there, more than I expected, before I found one that was a decent price. It's in lovely condition with that familiar good ol' book smell. I'm reading it for the second time. I love it's blue tinted pages and its crack! I hear every time I open the book. I know I've mentioned this book a couple times before, but I can't help it. It's just too good.
