A recent New York Times slide show ”Vintage Finds From Around the World” is a testament to our enduring love of unique, dramatic pieces. Readers from around the globe uploaded pics of their favorite vintage pieces and shared why they loved them. Sample items: grandma’s leather boots, Louis Vuitton luggage, prom dresses from the ‘50s, ‘70s and ‘80s, elegant day wear from the ‘50s that recall Grace Kelly, and a motorcycle helmet that recalls Evel Knievel.
My favorite vintage accessories are the boxes of costume jewelry that I inherited from my mother and grandmother. Attention-getters like a two-headed snake bracelet, bold brassy necklaces and medallions. Ropes of faux pearls that dress up a classic black sweater and black pants. Glittery flirty pieces that add a little jazz to the day.
Do you have a treasured timeless piece that you found in an attic, the Salvation Army, or on eBay? If so, you will love this delightful article.
