Nicoletta Carlone Unboxing


A picture of the earrings from the website as my camera didn't want to focus:


Do you like Victorian Mourning themed items? Would you wear the belt or earrings?

    I've never seen a Victorian mourning belt before -- very cool! Unfortunately, the earrings are too small on the video for me to see what they look like.

      My camera doesn't want to photograph them well either due to the black! Maybe I can add an image from their website which definitely showed them better.

    The belt is pretty unusual, and I would most definitely wear it, Laura! xxx

    Thank you for sharing a close-up of the earrings, as I couldn't see them very well in the video. They are absolutely fabulous! xxx

Queensland Holiday Part 1: Ripley's Believe It or Not

Image
DAY 1: Sunday We arrived at Gold Coast Airport from Sydney early in the morning and got a bus to Surfer's Paradise. Once there we got an early check in at our hotel in the Q1 building at about 12.15, and went out to look around. We checked out the shops and beach. We had an ocean view from our room and could see and hear the waves. DAY 2: Monday Day two's weather was punctuated by rain showers but we were doing mostly indoor activities, so it wasn't a big problem. We started out at Ripley's which was just off the main street in Surfer's Paradise. Ripley's Believe it or Not Robert Ripley  ( February 22, 1890 – May 27, 1949)  began his career as a sportsman and cartoonist. He was fascinated by unusual events and objects, leading to his "Believe it or Not!" comic strips which became very popular. He enjoyed travelling the world to find oddities and opened his first museum in Chicago in 1933, then known as the Odditorium. In 1936 he was voted the most popu...

The Anti-Consumerist Druid

I received a digital ARC for this book from the author. There are two kinds of books about consumerism, those that are annoyingly preachy, making you feel like a loser for not living a completely frugal life and those that are relatable and help you see points in your own life that you could improve while still embracing life. T his book was definitely one of the latter. As Katrina Townsend says, over-saturation can make you feel “bludgeoned with more things I ought to be doing” and overwhelmed as well as costing you a bundle trying to go green or frugal. You need to be mindful at take it slowly. H er interest in Druidry and spirituality helped her find focus. From the start I was drawn in by Townsend’s friendly tone and nonjudgmental style. S he showed her own failings and made it clear that it is normal to be drawn into the cycle of consumerism in our modern lives. Her story is probably at least a little familiar to most of us. Haven’t most of us been sucked in by the serotonin cycle...

Thrift Haul

A modern Victorian inspired blouse with lace and pintucks. If you've been following for a while you'll know how much I love Victorian inspired items. Beautiful beads that catch the light! Vintage style spoon and metal trinket box. Possibly pewter. I love the tarnished look of the spoon. Gilbert and Sullivan The Gondoliers DVD A Child's History of England by Charles Dickens Even the back is beautiful! Harmsworth History of the World Vol 8: America. Excuse my weird vampire looking hand, I swear my hands actually look normal. I originally guessed this copy was printed in maybe the 50s, but perhaps it could be from the thirties. After looking into it a little these books were originally published in 1907-1909 but this does not look like the original version and I am sure it is a later reprint. The paper is glossy and photos are printed throughout without separate illustration plates as in the other book but it is still cloth bound. I am certainly not an antiquarian books expert...
