I'm leaving on a jet plane TODAY to see a lovely Brit gent.He also happens to be a pilot from London, so when I saw this lovely retro-esque bauble at the brand new Haute par Periwinkle store in Eglinton Way, I picked it up - it was under $30!
Periwinkle is a local designer boutique where you kind find tons of handmade bling by local designers.
I loved this piece for so many reasons: one, the compass will help guide me to my lovely mannie, who, as a pilot, is used to navigating the skies. Two, it has "London" at the bottom as you can see, and well, that's where he's from and we may go there if we have time. Three, I loved the little birdie the artist put on top. I will be winging my way to him soon!
Posts may be spotty for the next little while but I hear some of his pals want to show me around to the vintage shops in his town -- so there could be a special British edition of Grunge Queen coming soon!! Stay tuned and have a fab last fling at summer!
Have an amazing time Kelly :)
