Limoges trinket boxes


My lucky number is 12 and that's where I have stopped or at least so far in collecting these lovely little Limoges trinket pots. Actually there are 13 Limoges items in this photo but I mainly collected the trinket boxes. They're very sweet. They are all so different and decorative. A bit old fashioned but I still love them. The little sky blue dish on the far side is a vintage mini plate that Ade gave me. The navy box on the far right front was my very first that I got a few years ago in Paris. I was really excited to have come across the little gold compact case--this is one you don't see very often.
A few of the boxes I took home to Texas lastyear. They are very good for keeping small jewellery or coins if the box is large enough.
Maybe I will collect more but who knows.

My photo
Hi there, my name is Estelle-Ruby. Started this blog to keep up with my interests in fashion, travel, style and just life in general. Spend half my time in London and the other half in Texas. Right now I am home in Texas and looking forward to returning to the UK as soon as possible. I'm really missing my fun life there. I enjoy lots of things including; fashion, shopping, travelling, the arts,cooking; I've got a keen interest in world culture. I love bellydance and Flamenco dance even though I can do neither. ;-) Great to watch someone else do it.
