It was just sold as a vintage rhinestone brooch. It only had the one photo. I found it while bleary eyed having only been awake for one minute. Very lucky.

Went to a Grand seasonal Opening sale today at a thrift. Set the alarm and everything. In the past, I've dropped $40-60 then without blinking. This year though, I think I spent more on gas getting there and back; I found a $2 pin. That said, it's a "jewelry 10" ceramic and metal blowfish. The coloring doesn't look quite like the one in the link, but somebody paid $60 or more for this thing originally. Not the worst find ever.

 

That is hilarious and adorable. I would have bought it too.

 

I"ve seen the mark before . It does OK on eBay, or does now. Ten years ago the pieces just sat.

 

I’ve not been finding anything good in the Charity shops for a while now. I’m not getting my dopamine rush so I don’t have the same enthusiasm to go out and about. It might be a good thing as I look around my home with all the stuff.
