VINTAGE TREASURE CHEST

Today I found gold...
So my mums been hiding her box of vintage jewels for years!  Why have I never discovered this in my house!?  If she was hiding it from me..I must say she hid it well.  
My eyes lit up

I swear, when I opened it I felt like I was Harry Potter finding another horcrux! It was like opening the box with Rowena Ravenclaw's Diadem! I'm so excited to play with these!
