Vintage Charms from Rome, Italy

The main ingredient for this capsule-collection are of course the mini-charms. They were found, in the 1970s at the fleamarket in Rome, Italy, by us, at Mimi Berlin. We stored the charms in the attic for about 50 years. Believe it or not: we kept them in a mason-jar.
