exploring treasures

Another one of those times, when one of the children are oh so quiet, suspiciously quiet.
This is what I found.

It kept her quiet and entertained for a very long time.

I remember exploring my mother's jewellery boxes when I was little. An amazing little wonderland of treasures :)

My gran had a whole drawer full of necklaces and other things that I adored to explore. And mums jewelery box was the best. Love these pics :-)

What a gorgeous post.
My fondest memory of visiting my grandparents house is the times I would sit and sift through the bowlful of my Nana's clip ons. I would carefully try on each pair and ooh and aah.
Beautiful photos that will remind you and the lil ones of these special times in future!

My favorite part is that she's sitting in a drawer to better reach. How adorable - and to capture that in a pic - even better.

Just yesterday when I was in spring cleaning fever - including my jewellery boxes - I thought, "I won't take these things to the op shop 'cos I think Isla is at the age she might just love sifting through all these 'treasures' when she comes to stay" Totally confirmed by your post and those pics !!
