She may well be OOAK.
No, not well enough, particularly not the one on the right. Are there only the 2 designs repeated or are all 4 different? What do you see on them?
Huh? Sounds like others also did not know that nota bene is not a brand name, it's an instruction to take notice, in this case to be aware that...

The last name looks like Hodston to me & she spelled her first name Pheobe. Why do I get the feeling Pheobe was dyslexic?
I had the same thought. When you search eBay for 'coral cameo', a lot of Chinese carved coral shows up.
The whole thing makes little sense in the handful of traditions where I have some knowledge. I've never seen a swing associated so strongly with...
Right track in a very broad way.
Separate names with a comma.
