Sometimes they really need a good rub before to comes to the surface - whereas others give it off at almost the faintest caress. I love bangles of all sorts, be they Bakelite or not (celluloid is another firm favourite of mine), but there is something especially awesome about finding, or being given, a Bakelite treasure. They usually have such a solid feeling to them, you just sense the weight of their history in them.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-47898231430246307112013-10-31T11:59:41.382-07:002013-10-31T11:59:41.382-07:00Congratulations on your bangle treasure. :) I have...Congratulations on your bangle treasure. :) I have inherited a bangle from my granny which I suspect is bakelite, and I have rubbed and rubbed with no luck. Perhaps I sould let DH rub it. It has no seams either and the age is right.

Red + yellow + green can certainly run the risk of veering into traffic light (or Christmas decor) territory, however if you keep the portions of one or two of the colours considerably small than the lead hue, I find you're usually pretty safe there. This yellow dress is actually surprisingly versatile in terms of the colours it can work with. I'd go so far as to say it falls into the pseudo-neutral zone.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-72283531013893060912013-10-18T14:00:11.104-07:002013-10-18T14:00:11.104-07:00What luck!

I really wonder if luck will strike twice and I'll unearth another great Bakelite piece at a yard sale in 2014? Maybe all it took was one such find to get the ball rolling? Too optimistic? :) <br /><br />I've wondered that as well, when I think back to my early childhood and young teen days of yard saling and thrifting, before I knew to look far and wide for vintage Bakelite pieces. You can't kick yourself too much when it comes those kinds of things though. It's just great that we know to look for them now.<br /><br />Have a fantastic weekend.<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-76508910352839464922013-10-18T12:16:56.974-07:002013-10-18T12:16:56.974-07:00Thank you, lovely Lorena!
