...the key to my heart. (not really, but if it was, i'd want it to look just as pretty ;) )

There's something about skeleton keys that, in all their vintage goodness, have a certain elegance about them. Maybe it's their intricate patterns, maybe it's their delicate bodies. Maybe it's the fact that each one is slightly different. Whatever it is, I am a fan. A big fan.

love these keys!
I got some vintage looking keys as a wedding gift from pottery barn. looove them. i think i might add some more to my collection at markets.
beautiful picts.
I adore old keys! They wear made in a far more ornate way than keys today: have been known to wear them as a diy necklace. Quite into old watch faces now as well.
my mom found a ring of old keys in my great aunts basement when she was cleaning it out and gave them to me because i love them so much.
old keys are so fascinating, trying to imagine what they unlock!
Yummy images!! :D I love skeleton keys too~

I'm obsessed with skeleton keys!! You're right, there is something so special and magical about one!

I think they represent a different time where things were, just like the keys, more delicate, more beautiful, more intricate.

yes, I agree with you! They make you feel like it's a link to the past, and they're so much more ornate and intricate than modern keys, plus it's a mystery what they once unlocked!
