Cleopatra used a sly trick to impress her compatriots and intimidate her enemies. She would consume a pearl, considered one of the highest prized gems of the time. Her trick was to drop a large pearl into a goblet of wine, which in those days was probably very close to vinegar. Vinegar reacts with the pearl and dissolves it. Hence, Cleopatra appeared to have swallowed a large pearl. |

After Legend says young Egyptian ladies would use these tiny bottles to collect the tears they shed while waiting for the return of a loved one. I just love their shapes, colors and light weight. |
This needlepoint picture matches everything so well I couldn't resist this Ebay purchase. Also very light weight. The antique brass vases above the window have a flat profile so they fit well on the valance. |
