Lockets that tell a story


Our plane landed in Paris and
as my feet touched the French ground this past spring, 
I will never forget that moment of realization....
I had made it to France!


Dreaming of French flea markets
were a thing of the past...this was going to happen.



I do still dream of this booth with all the jewelry bits.



Every locket tells a story, or so they say.

I create from my heart & soul....what I am searching for...what I long for...
a little bit of a story...a little bit of romance...a little bit of life.


These vintage brass lockets hold a part of my French trip.
A Paris flea market find.
Vintage French lace, the real thing!


I know if I had taken the time,
I might have found a locket like this in Paris.


And so starts my creative thought process....
I create what I feel I left behind in Paris.


Thank you all for taking
 this journey with me.


I'd be lonely without you.


Have a great week!
Rhonda
