I WIll Spend My Heaven Doing Good Upon Earth

May 9, 2011

Wow.  I didn't know she said that.  Saint Therese of Lisieux, France, that is.  Otherwise known as The Little Flower.  I should have known since this is my second charm necklace featuring a vintage Saint Therese medal plus vintage bling.  You can read about her and the first one I made here.


I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth. 

Who among us has the foresight and wisdom, not to mention maturity (she was very young when she said this) and saintliness (I know not I!) to be able to say those words? 

I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth. 

It's like she already knew she'd become a saint. 



The back of the medal actually has those words inscribed on it.  I'm loving that about it.


The front of the medal pictures her holding a crucifix while it says Saint Theresa of the Child Jesus.



I will spend my heaven doing good upon earth.   


 To think she's up there somewhere watching over us.  At least I HOPE she's watching over me.

Pretty amazing, don't you think?

Blessed Vintage Bling (and I'm goin' to the flea market!)

April 29, 2011

I put this blessed vintage charm necklace together the other day.  It's hard to believe that I scored the components, piecemeal, over the course of months at various and sundry flea markets.   How I miss the flea markets!


Most flea markets, they're fair weather friends, at least in these parts.....come winter they disappear, not to be see again until spring.  And tomorrow's my first spring fling!


 Thanks to Mr. CBD, I'm going to be able to get away for a spell tomorrow and I. Can't. Wait.


You see, it's those flea markets where I get all my vintage goodies ~ bling, religious treasures, forgotten lovelies. 


I bring them back to life.

Here's to a great Saturday afternoon for all of us.  May we find that special treasure that makes our heart skip a beat.  I know I'll find mine.

Have a great weekend!

P.S. I thought Mendelssohn'sWedding March was appropriate for today, what with it being the royal wedding and all......just sayin'
