Hi Everyone
Happy Tuesday
It is that time again to test your 
vintage shopping skills
Do You have any idea what this
sterling silver and glass vase was
  originally used for
The sterling silver top is removable 
and has a hole
at the center
{perfect for a rose or two}

If you guessed
a Victorian  hair collector you are
~Right~
Did you know that Victorian women use to make
jewelry and even artwork with hair
They would place the hair through the hole at the top
when it was full they would remove the lid 
Here is an example of Victorian era hair art
The hair  was wrapped around wire with beads
surrounding the important dates of a families
marriages and the birth of their children

How did you do
did you know what it was?
 It is fun to discover what vintage treasures were originally used for
I like it better as a vase
sharing with

romantic saying for today
"Seize the moments of happiness love and be loved"
Leo Tolstoy
