Featured Finds Thread

Wasted gas yesterday. Veterans thrift couldn't take my donations due to lack of staffing, so I took the items to a medical thrift. Today I need yet another procedure on my left eye. After two surgeries, I need a laser treatment to break up a secondary cataract. Fun times.

 

Oy. Sometimes you can't win. I only went to three stores today and then made a minor pest of myself at an estate sale that starts tomorrow. First store, found earrings but couldn't bring myself to buy them. Second store - nada. Third store... found a small brass or bronze statuette of someone playing a musical instrument. I think it's Kenyan but it might be Southeast Asian for all I can tell. Not a western casting for sure.

The estate sale is a cleanout and they said right in the ad it was all stuff the suviving family didn't take. The front door was open so I rang the bell and asked. No jewelry at all. I did see a brass Star of David inside, so there might be more Judaica. May have to go on Saturday after some tag sales I found.

 

Marko I have similar Crystal and bird-fetish MOP necklaces. I'm a collector but not jewelry, can you suggest a value?

 

@Ownedbybear!! BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

@evelyb30, can we see the rooster?? Do you know his/it's age??

 

No great finds. Got this painting at a charity shop today. Looks like art-student work but I find it eye catching..

 

Very! Classic look..!

 

Wow Davey, I am not a motorcycle gal, but that is so cool.

 

in pristene condition,,,,,,,,,,what a classy hog !

 

Cool bike- what year is it?

 

I absolutely love this!

 

What nerve, not letting you have the bike. Davey at least can drown his sorrow in some Bushmills. Not the worst trade-off in the books.

I still haven't uploaded the photos. I don't think it's very old, just accidentally very funny.

 

That bike is a DREAM!!!!

 

You can see why I cracked up. Siglinde is on the tag, plain as day. The rooster has a comb and a wattle, also plain as could be. Either she's in masculine drag or someone got a little confused.

 

Love the chicken!

 

Thanks. It was a "cluck"y find. (I could have resisted that but didn't want to.)

 

The joolies here always inspire me with their finds. I was looking in my old jewelry box (one with twirling ballerina) and found a pretty Weiss butterfly pin.
It may have been my grandmothers.
