I scouted around a number of op shops this week and was feeling a little despondent until I came across a couple of treasures that I knew would be right at home on my very humble bedroom dresser table. I say humble because the table was purchased by my mum via e-bay in a last minute bid that made it just "too good to be true". It's absolutely gorgeous and fits the room perfectly. Whilst I've played around a little with decorating it, the little adventurous fingers of my small children prevent me from displaying anything keep-sake or valuable. I thought I'd see if they could resist temptation for 24 hours, placing a few rings in the glass jewellery bowl but they literally disappeared in 5 seconds. I was smart enough to plant a few decoy jewellery pieces in the event that I was unable to find them again. My daughter has taken to putting everything in the toilet bowl so I was one step ahead of her (for a change). All my nice perfume, necklaces and earings are relegated to a very high cupboard where unfortunately because I struggle to see them, often don't get used.
My little items that I purchased this week include the glass jewelery bowl with the gold trim and the mirror that I've placed it on. In addition, I found this beautiful jug to add to my vast collection of jugs that I've rescued from Op shops and markets over the last few months.

The jewelery bowl is really lovely & I have to say after yesterdays Eastery hosting, you have the best collection of jugs ever!

So pretty - these look great on your lovely dressing table.
Lovely dressing table, great decorating job too! Also letting you know that I've awarded you the Sunshine Award for being an awesome blogger! Please drop by my blog sometime to check it out :)
I love the idea of using the mirror for the tray. It is so obvious, yet so clever and elegant! A real Oprah ah-ha moment. I passed on an old mirror the other day because the hanging clips were absent. I'm goin' back next week to see if it is still there! xxNick
I love your Jug, can't resist them myself.
Happy Easter

Ooh, love the jug. I have a bit of a jug fetish too. xo
Beautiful finds, gorgeous ;))
Thjat really is a nice jug! Whilst sometimes feels neverending the little kid stage really goes by so fast ... remember when they were babes and you never thought you would wear dangly ear-rings again ...?
Pretty things you have found!
Just gorgeous! I love the little jug, so romantic and your dressing table is so very sweet.

The jug is really nice! I know what you mean about the adventurous fingers. I don't have any pretty things out on low shelves either.
