The Goose Who Laid the Golden Eggs is one of Aesop’s most beloved fables. Surely you remember it:

A farmer’s goose lays a golden egg every day. In an attempt to get to the gold inside, the farmer kills the goose only to discover there’s no gold there. And because of the farmer’s greed, he no longer has a goose laying gold eggs!

While stories like this are amusing for children, it’s only when we become adults that we can recognize the morals of the stories and truly appreciate their lessons.

And for a fashionable reminder of the message about greed from this Aesop’s fable,  just snag today’s VPOD.

This vintage necklace by Hattie Carnegie features a goose that is literally laying a golden egg. And when you gently tug on the egg, the wings of the goose will rise and fall.

It’s a very rare and interesting piece for a vintage fashionista!
