Please find it a charity or use a Buy Nothing Facebook group. Or something. It would be criminal to bin that!
I still like Shalimar but don't wear perfume often. Too many folks are allergic. I do bust out some Youth Dew once in a while in the Winter. Mom...
I went to three tag sales, there were only four but one looked like furniture/junque and it was well away from the rest. All I could think was "I...
And ancient booze!
I go with the 60s/70s contingent. The colors are dead bang for circa 1968-1974 and all wrong for the 40s. The center could be either glass or...
The interior says writing box to me. Those top curved slots on the left look like they're for stamps. The pieces I'm seeing loose say "sewing box"...
That's what I thought. They were kicking around - paid about $2 the lot so I can afford to just bin them. G'bye Faux-di.
I don't have a picture of the backs; they were new on card and I didn't pull them off. Bought them ages ago and never really looked, but the more...
Around here you have to beg people to buy Victorian furniture, unfortunately. My guess is it's rock solid and built to last another 100 years....
It wants to be Native American turquoise and coral with sterling. I'd be thinking more 50s than 20s.
I have a thing for carved lucite flowers myself. The pink one almost looks German.
I use a real needle for that. Beading needles are flexible and tend not to do what I tell them.
I always used a pin instead of the tweezers, and for waxed cording just bare fingers. They were plain glass beads and it was bone simple stuff.
Cinnamon? A talcum powder holder from a travel kit?
Looks like Upstate for sure. I found ways to waste time, a wooden bowl I'm hoping is worth more than I paid, and a nasty thunderstorm that...
Not a clue. I pretty much taught myself. Wheel: reinvented. Check! What you string on depends on the size of the holes, but they sell beading...
Yep! I wasn't 100% sure when I bought them, and one in the box definitely wasn't Takahashi, but checked later and BINGO.
It sure was a surprise. What makes it sweeter is I rescued those from a chain thrift who sold them as a lot because they thought they were junk!
No wonder it's in a bit of a state - my guess is it's over 100 years old. When you're that old you'll be a little tattered too.
I bet the time of year didn't hurt! Uncle Sam always sells but right around the 4th he probably gets a boost.
