Love this quote about the 60's, "If you can remember the 1960s, you weren’t really there".

Sunset

We had a beautiful evening by the beach with friends leisurely eating fish and chips and looking at the Sculptures by the Sea exhibition and the most amazing sunset at Bathers Beach in Fremantle. The hot days in Perth can be hell but the balmy evening are absolutely magnificent.

Blue necklace.

Turquoise blue bead necklace and blue rings.

Turquoise is the name of a greenish-blue color, based on the gem of the same name. The word turquoise comes from the French for Turkish, as the gem was originally imported from Turkey. The first recorded use of turquoise as a color name in English was in 1573.

Cute old push bike.

I found this old push bike on the side of a cafe and thought it was pretty cute. My husband and I were driving through a small country town on our way home after a camping trip. I was dying to get home to have a shower and freshen up, but could not resist stoping to take a photo.

Vintage handbag.

Whiting & Davis has been known for its high quality and striking handbags since the 1890s. Their patented metal mesh has been supplied to the very best of the fashion industry and has been spotted on the runway in dresses, gloves, and shoes.

The company was founded when Charles W. Whiting went to work for a chain manufacturing company owned by Edward P. Davis. By 1907 Whiting was a partner in the business, and the company was making chain mesh bags from silver, gold and gun metal. In 1912, a process for machine made mesh was developed and Whiting and Davis purchased the patent. This process cut the cost of a bag dramatically, so that mesh bags were available to the mass market. By the 1920s, the bags were being decorated with enamel. 

Production of metal mesh halted during WWII to assist with the war effort. Keep this in mind when attempting to precisely date Whiting & Davis handbags.
Whiting and Davis is still in operation today, making metal mesh for the fashion industry as well as other industries such as home decor and jewelry.
