Day 30 - Found

 I found these matched teaspoons in a $1.50 bag full of cutlery, some years ago.  Turns out, they're sterling silver 'Darby patent' spoons from 1785 and really quite rare, as they were only made for around 2 years.

Old gold, on a teeny little perfume bottle.

Day 23 - From my childhood

Generally, I keep my descriptions brief for these photo a day prompts.  However, I feel this one warrants a story.  I have vivid memories of raiding my nana's jewellery box as a small child, and being particularly fascinated by these items....they are a picture of my great-grandmother Annie in an old fob watch and her wedding band,  a beautifully simple 18ct gold ring, engraved with ALS (Annie Louisa Sing).  The band is very old and has broken at the seam now....it's so very tiny, that even as a small child it would only fit (very firmly I might add) on my pinky finger. My grandparents, clearly seeing how much I loved it, allowed me to keep her wedding band - I've been  keeping it safe for more than 30 years now :)  The fob watch was given to me some time later.  I love having this tangible connection to my ancestors.
