    Got woken up ahead of my alarm clock by my &**# body and off to line up for the rummage sale I went. And rummage I did. Easter lily enamel cuff links, a little unmarked gold lapel whatsit, an amber necklace, and that festoon thingie that has greenies. It has a hook added to a dead sport ring and a lot of greenies, but it acid tests for silver. The thimble was the expensive piece - $3; it's Czarist era Russian enamel. One silver pin is 30s Mexican, but I did get to beach jewelry bracelets. Total for the jewelry? $25. The gold-filled watch chain was a freebie.

    My mom already yelled dibs on the starry bracelet, the glass pendant is older than dirt, and that sacred heart thing is OLD and marked made in France.

    My job for tonight? Restringing those Venetian beads. Took those nasty red spacers out and knotted them onto black button cord with their bead caps. No clasp yet - tossed the nasty barrel.

    We keep in touch, not as much as we used to, once a year updates so we all know where each other is at.

    Two literal finds--as in, found on the ground while on a walk--and two store finds on a weekend trip to the desert: a Navajo basket and an older Acoma pot. (I hope you don't mind the photographic license I took...)

    NAVAJO WEDDING BASKETS are woven by both the Navajo and Paiute weavers of the Southwest, and are made entirely out of sumac and decorated with natural or aniline dyes.

    And I hope I recognize one the next time I see it in the wild - because around here no one else will either!

    The little biannual flea market Saturday did not disappoint. Then I stopped at my main flea market, just a few doo dads there.
    Firstly, the costume.
