It's funny how my taste fluctuates - just a few years ago, I thought anything gold was icky.  I would not wear any gold jewelry, accessories, or tolerate any gold decor.  The thing is, I was obsessed with it for awhile - my high school bedroom was "romantic" with lots of fancy gold frames or angels and cherubs and flowing white curtains - you know, the mid 90s look.
 
Now that gold has firmly re-established itself in fashion and home design - I am noticing how much I am in love with it - again!  Except this time, it has a decidedly more "ethnic" vibe to it.

A few weeks ago - the gals and I hit up the two week long massive antique shopping event in Round Top, Texas.  The first morning out was very successful.  My friend scored these two fabulous lamps for $35 - that's for the pair!!! 

The detail shot shows just how cool the asian floral motif is.  Her fiance is not so sure he loves them - be we all did!

Today I am wearing my fabulous Green & Gold Czech Necklace.  I love green anything, and these beads literally screamed at me from across the room at the bead store. 

They were labeled as 1920s Czech Glass - for those of you who know Czech Glass - it is very collectible.  I strung them together with gold jump rings, added an old earring as the pendant - and viola! Sexy vintage style - with GOLD.

And the quest for gold continues - today I got a pedicure - and had my toes painted gold... I just wonder what's next. 

I love having my funky jewelry posted on iTaggit - I have so much, I can hardly remember it all - but iTaggit keeps my collections organized!
