Magic mirror in my hand, who is the fairest in the land?


Do you like fairy tales?

Why do I love traditional fairy tales? I really don’t know… maybe for the same reason that I love everything related to Antiques!

Being honest, if you sometimes feel that you need to listen that you are the fairest in the land… take one these mirrors and you will feel like a queen! ;-)

and the mirror always replies: “My Queen, you are the fairest in the land.”

Publicity card from the premier of the film in Barcelona, in 40s.

So romantic and sad film about a British Officer (Robert Taylor) his tragic love story with a young ballerina (Vivien Leigh) during the First World War…great movie!

Being honest, this very antique brooche is captivating… but there are no real diamonds on it… However, I love the work of the little details. Even the back of the piece is stunning. Romantic and undulating lines for an antique piece full of charming, that happens to be one of my favourite pieces. I hope you will enjoy it!

As usual, some music will help me to say goodbay:
A kiss may be grand but it won’t pay the rental
On your humble flat, or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks don’t lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
