Honestly, with such detailed work on furniture like these especially when it's vintage, I'd feel like I need a very special reason to use it as intended alongside avoiding any potential future damages to such a lovely desk and chair!Hi JadiesI’m back to share an early Christmas present. I hope you don’t mind. I have been watching this desk for a while and it has its share of dings but I still love it. It’s from the 1960’s and it still had the glass top. All of the mother of Pearl appliqué is still in tact and she is still beautiful. This Chinoiserie desk and matching was finally delivered yesterday on my 28th wedding anniversary

I feel that way about expensive bangles. But since I’m not getting any younger, I am enjoying using it. It’s the perfect height for me too. I put a cute little tea set in a tray on top
New bangle arrived from Mats Alice. This is my first thin bangle and I love it. I don't see any cracks - it does have a couple of color lines that seem healed. Can anyone tell me from their experience if a thinner bangle has to be babied?
Beautiful bangle
It looks like a nice size to me. Thinner bangles seem to be more popular and easier to wear. I have worn nephrite bangles with a similar profile and never had a problem and I’m tough on my bangles. Nephrite is softer too, so I think you should wear it and enjoy it.
Beautiful bangle
Thank you, kindly, Cyanide Rose. I am so glad to hear I can just wear and enjoy it. I am headed on a trip this morning so will wear it in the sunshine to enjoy the look of it.
You’re so welcome. I’m sure it will be gorgeous in the sun. Enjoy your trip
So gorgeous! Lacquer with burlwood!Hi Jadies

Thanks so much xincinsin. I’m still trying to figure out the name for the desk. I keep calling it Chinoiserie but it was actually made in China and not a European copy. Either way I love it. Thanks so much for all your help
Hi everyone! Happy Thanksgiving to all our American friends.
I had always wanted a jade bangle and I finally took the leap this year after doing months of reading and research. I bought my first bangle from Kathy Jade. Now I have 2 more from UJ. hahahaha. I think that will be it for now. Here’s a picture of my first bangle from Kathy Jade! I’ll post pics of the UJ bangles when I get them.

Happy Thanksgiving jadies! I hope everyone that celebrated the US Thanksgiving holiday yesterday had a day of fun, family, and food.
@crabapples Your jade bangle is lovely and I love the gold bangles stacked with it!

So exciting, hope you enjoy your new collection. Once you start, it is so hard to stop collecting them
Beautiful bangle.
Thank you! They are Buddhist rush bangles. Not 24k gold, haha. It keeps the bangle from sliding too far forward because it is a little big for me. I couldn’t find a bangle that was smaller with the same colour that I wanted at the time. I’m going to use the rush bracelets as spacers also. They are silicone and are silent and super light! Only a bit of metal where it is sealed with a small inscription.
So glad to hear it! And hi!Thank you! Our family had a wonderful day (and turkey leftovers for days)
