Those of you who know me, understand and accept that I'm somewhat addicted to shopping, especially antique shopping. I have my usual favorite places, and I become absolutely giddy when I find unusual and unique treasures during my excursions. I'm SO excited to show you one of the most beautiful items I've ever had the pleasure of discovering. I collect rosaries; I adore them. I love the symbolism, the beauty and sentiment associated with them. So you can imagine my complete amazement when I found this...

The mirror to the right is 4 feet tall! |
It's an enormous rosary...for scale, I photographed it by my 4 foot mirror (on the right) so you can judge size. Isn't this just an amazing, incredible and timeless? I knew you would agree :-) Stay tuned for more fabulous finds.
