Very Nice !!Would it be possible to post close up pictures of the Knights Cross

 

Oooops.

 

I like the design work in them.

 

Happy New Year Marko!

 

Yeah, got walloped with snow this week. Freezing cold outside, new record lows being set. I managed to get out a bit before New Years, and I forgot some of my thrifts have amazing end-of-year clearance sales.....two have 50% off everything, and one has 75% off everything. So this was what was left....besides some newer pins I picked up for a dollah.

The necklace is 900 gilded silver, cameo, garnets. I saw one on ebay like it, asking crazy price. This was only $1.50.


The pearls, while freshwater, have a 14k clasp and have a decent luster. $2.25.


My church sale that was supposed to be yesterday was postponed until next Saturday.

 

Amazing!
I wish I knew more about jewelry. God knows what I miss.

 

I think we all have our area of expertise.....God knows what I trip over here that would make money. I tend to focus on jewelry first, then perfumes, dolls, vintage linens, and vintage clothing. Vintage clothing and just quality clothing I take to a consignment shop. For myself, I look for silk scarves and wool/angora/cashmere/alpaca etc. clothing and accessories. Found a ton of beautiful scarves this season, I just found a made in England cashmere scarf yesterday for $1.40. I will have to photograph some of the better finds for you guys. Found another old cashmere? black coat for the consignment store for $11 and a 1980s long black wool coat for my sister for $10. I don't care for the current style of quilted? down/polyester coats. I would look like the Michelin man.

 

Ha!!!!

I do see lots of cashmere items.
I have some beautiful long coats.

 

I love cashmere. I've vintage stuff that will outlive me. It washes wonderfully:I'd never dry clean it, unless it was a coat or something.

 

I used to design , buy & sell cashmere scarves....from Germany, Scotland, England, & Italy.
Then one day the Chinese got the idea of selling the finished product themselves...the price dropped...& the quality dropped.....& the market went to hell in a hand basket !

 

Hi, Komokwa,
Several of us got together to buy a special friend a custom designed cashmere bathrobe. She loved it. I would itch to death in one. This was back in the 1970s. I think it cost the five of us 200 bucks each.

Ya, some folks can't wear wool , of any critter !!

 

I sold double woven German Cashmere scarves....two scarves woven together for a double thickness....& at retail they were 75 to 100 bucks in the men's wear stores.....but....there was nothing warmer.....softer.....more luxurious..or classy on the market !!

Edit...Hummm...this gives me an idea.....

 

Literally none of my shipmates could ever understand how I could sleep under a wool blanket in just skivvies.
I love it.

 

Oh does it?
Will you be ok?
Will an MRI help?

 

Who's Mr.I ??
or is he a Mystery..

 

Just reading that makes me itchy all over. :scratch: :scratch: :scratch:

 

Ha!!!!
