Oooooh look at all the SPARKLIES. You're gonna glitter all holiday season! I was going to pick a favorite, but it's impossible. Too much good stuff.

 

Hi @TaRi! You should try posting a new thread in the Art forum to get more eyeballs on your piece and use this helpful guide by komokwa to upload your photos. Members here don't typically click off-site links.

 

Thank you !

 

I concur........

 

Wow, that's a lotta bling! Reminds me of a watch I bought off eboo many years ago. It was all rhinestones, wristband, and it unusually had a cover over the watch face and it was all rhinestones. I think it cost me a whole $13US plus shipping which was reasonable back then. Like to see a photo? Well, I can't show you because the spring on the cover was a bit wonky, my friend said her nephew could fix it lickety-split and that's the last I saw of it. Wah.

 

I went to a church sale this morning, which meant getting on the highway at way too early oclock. Found the advertised jewelry...new. All hand-made and donated by the family of the deceased maker. Need to get photos of the few bits I found elsewhere.

 

Got these great job shots today. I can see names on the back so I'm going to carefully try to get them off of their backing and solve the mystery!

 

I also got some invoices from the 1890s!

 

I found this pleasant vase for the even more pleasant price of $3 today, at a thrift store. It's signed by local artist Julie Wawirka.

 

I love the shape and color !

 

Thanks!

 

me too !

 

I miss you guys. I've been crazy busy, but I am forcing myself to sort and tag my jewelry finds this week. Went to a very small flea market Saturday, and bought this from a dealer for $40. I can't stop looking at it.



Clasp is the one on the upper right.
I believe it is Edwardian due to the clasp and shield motifs. Center shield stone is vaseline glass.

 

I don't think that started out as a brooch. I reckon part of a much larger piece.

 

Anyhoo, as I've often said, I'm getting a T shirt with "I buy weird .... you know what...." on it.

All this lot were in the rummage boxes under tables.

 

It

It does have a pendant loop. Maybe a belt buckle?

 

I wondered belt buckle. Or part of a much larger necklace.

 

Oooh, I want that V for Victory tea caddy spoon!

 

I think Marko's was a piece of something else too. Maybe it was meant to detatch and it got lost somehow.
