What a beautiful ring! Do you still stash cream perfumes or lotions in it?

I also think of my grandma as the Queen of all things good and great smell! :)

Interesting how there was a secret compartment to keep perfume creme :)
What a precious thing to have to remember your grandmother. Beautiful. I just realized that we have the same initials. SLC for me too. Have a great WW. :)
Hi! Wonderful crown jewel! This is better because I could look at it longer. This reminds me of a past trip to London. I had the chance to look at the real "Crown Jewel" but had to line up for more than an hour. With the long line, it was disappointing to get a look at the crown jewel for only a seconds. Thanks for sharing.
Grandma had great taste for sure.. and it's worth is more than gold for sure.
this is so cool! happy ww.
It's a beautiful ring. Happy WW
Is it Wednesday already at your place? Still tuesdayevening here, seven thirty pm to be exact!
Lovely picture, Sandy, and I love the post you did on the chained elephants!
Sandy,
The picture of your crown jewel is just exquisite, and so is the memory of your grandmother. I have tears in my eyes remember my grandmother who is no longer with us.
Have a blessed day! Tami

I wish I had a grandmother so that I could have memories like this. I bet you can still smell that perfume, can't you? This is so poignant.
