Silver Sweethearts ... some of my favorite portraits of couples from years past ... I wonder how they shared their Valentine's days ... did they have the chance to be romantic? ... everyone always appears so serious .... I like the couple in the lower left that are posed side by side, they look like 'equals', don't they? ... posed like that ...
All tucked into a silver photo display ....
A necklace created from an antique rhinestone heart button ... a bit tattered, but not broken.
A pair of earrings created from vintage hearts wrapped in silver containing a mustard seed ...
"If Ye have faith as a grain of a mustard seed ... nothing shall be impossible unto you." Matthew 17:20
I'm linking to two parties today ... please follow the buttons below for more romantic Valentine's Day fun ...
and
Wishing everyone a happy and romantic Valentine's Day ... Enjoy !!
I absolutely heart your necklace and earrings....so beautiful and creative!

Stunning heart necklace! Love the silver photo stand. I've looked and looked for one, but all I found was a large one in white metal. It will have to suffice till I find something special like yours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to you! ~ Sarah
I love old photos, especially when you know who is in the picture! Love the jewellery.
ReplyDeleteYour jewelry is truly fantastic. Happy Valentine's Day, and I'm off to visit the sites you've linked. xx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful, Jill. The necklace is gorgeous, I love how you have used the tatting lace and wrapped it. The earrings with the mustard seed is so wonderful. Your scripture and vintage photos really bring this all together for me. Have a blessed Valentine's Day, dear friend!

Hi Jill, Happy Valentines Day to you... I love old photographs and collect them as well... I always wondered why they never smiled... even back then I would have been giggling at the very least if someone told me not to smile... I do hope they are happy now, since they are long gone, I hope they are smiling wherever they are... xoxo Julie Marie
ReplyDeleteI really like the photo of the husband and wife side by side....very unusual. She looks like a pretty strong lady, anyway. Thanks for sharing today.
ReplyDeleteHello! Nice to meet you on this special day.
ReplyDeleteYour displays and artwork are stunning. Love that necklace, and the portraits are so charming!
Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Party!

The display of the old photos is just lovely!
ReplyDeleteThose portraits are so wonderful, and I guess it was very rare to see one with the people smiling! I guess they had rough lives back then, but hopefully they did find a little time for some romance! Thank you for sharing these, and the necklace and earrings are lovely!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!

What Amazing Creations, the Earrings & the Gorgeous Necklace ~ Love it & Of course the Sweet Couple..... Have a Wonderful Week
ReplyDeleteOh I love it all - the fabulous old photos and the jewelry is so gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYes, they all did look so serious. i wonder if it is because they had to sit a long time for a picture and their mouths got tired of smiling...I just don't know. Beautiful pics though and a lovely post!
ReplyDeleteJill, I always find pictures at the thrift store and such and always wonder why their families don't have them-so I adopt them!
ReplyDeletePretty creations! I'm excited to see what you're working on for Design Team!
