I Am Tiramisu

I love vintage. Especially when I've inherited it (in a way. hehe)

It's my mother's bag. Yes, she's a bag and shoe lady since. Although she is not much of a keeper. She loves giving her stuff away. I once remember when I was 7 years old she used to have this big big shelf full of those beautiful delicate perfume bottles shaped like human figurines. Yep, she gave them all away. hehehe

So with some of her stuff I made sure I asked for them...for safekeeping of sorts.

Her bag. It's a gift from my father...45 years ago!!!

I'm guessing it's one of those imported bags. Our folks were fond of those. As you can see it needs a bit of a retouch. I'm still on a hunt for someone to do that for me.

Needs cleaning up. But isn't it gorgeous?

Another bag is this unique black and white weave number!!! It's 43 years old. Still in very good condition. But I'm always afraid to use it, looks so delicate. It's of hard material. More like a purse. I will use this soon, if I could find the right cloths to showcase such a beauty of a bag!

The floral design is etched on the cover.

It could fit 2 cellphones, an ipod, wallet and small camera. Perfect for this season's parties!

And for those who might have noticed my old looking watch...well, yes it is old. Approximately 35 to 40 years old. My mother's own Omega silver watch. It still works flawlessly. Papa has since gifted mom with a more modern watch so I swiped this from her wrist. Once again, for safekeeping. Ehem...hahahahaha! I love the watch!!! I've googled it and this silver Geneve series could fetch up to U.S.$ 400.

(Yep, I had to adjust the time to the 10:10 position for this photo op.)
