That's a lot to mess with. Have fun!

 

It could be from plant life from a time before nuts & fruit stones as we know them.

@moreotherstuff ?

 

sea creature of some kind...........?

 

This object resembles a nautiloid fossil, which is an ancient marine creature related to modern squid and nautilus........... AI's take on it ..

 

The ancestor of Mr. Peanut?

 

I love that crocheted cat hot mat!

 

I think I need it!

 

It's raining here today, but scored an Atari 5200 and this 2000 Times Square bear:

 

The bear is ((glorp)) vintage now. I wonder about the collectability of Y2K Bug merchandise.

 

Scandinavian Biedermeier (Karl Johan) dining suite in figured birch and mahogany, circa 1830–1840.

$270.

 

The one in the frame resembles the age of a family photo I have from 1913!

 

Those guys were too duded up to be related to me; they all had office jobs.

 

I picked up some cute photos, too. I love yours!

If I decide to join the living, I guess I find things. Went to a different event, but found jewelry.

The earrings were $5. I am pretty sure all are sterling, the ones with the floral/shell motif have very small foreign markings on one earring. The heart earrings also have markings I can't read and are heavier. The stetling CZ bracelet was $2, the old sterling beat-up miraculous ring was $2.
The dealer also had vintage beads, drilled foreign coins, vintage rhinestones, and old findings to make jewelry, 50 cents and bag. Made a craft lot.


Stopped at an estate sale we saw on the way home, got some sterling earrings for $11 a pair each.

Can't figure the maker out, below.

I checked her signature out on various earrings, I don't think it's her. It could possibly be an early hand-signed piece if hers or some one is counterfeiting her signature....but I just sent her flagship store in Carmel an email with pictures.

 

Same signature on this one

Bingo, thank you!

 

The only things I found on Friday and Saturday that were worth the effort. I came home with 5 beaded or embroidered purses on Saturday, from the 17th of 17 houses in a "whole neighborhood" tag sale that was otherwise a total bust. The sixth purse is one of those custom painted basket bags, this one made for sale in Hawaii. The black velvet one with the bakelite clasp was made for Bergdorf Goodman. It's newer than the others. The entirely beaded one has shatter at the top, but the beading is perfect.

 

Those are beautiful. You scored! Sometimes bling comes in other forms.
