Found this beautiful clock at an estate sale for $50 last month, after a bit of research it seems to be a unsigned Margaret Gilmour clock. Sadly it doesn’t work but it was definitely worth the price

 

Very cool. I'd have bought it for $50 in a heartbeat.

 

So would I, that is lovely!!!!!

 

That was a no-brainer. If you can find a clock guy (they're always guys) it can be fixed.

 

Great find!

 

that is a beautiful clock @aginghoopsters, great score for $50

 

What were the red beads? I never heard of prystal. Does it test as bakelite with Simichrome? I've read some bakelite is coated and doesn't react to Simichrome.

 

I still have more to photograph...just a few things. The heart ring is Judith Ripka, $12 thrift shop find (they now have a "lady who takes the jewelry home and prices it.) She missed this.

Two vintage red rose tablecloths, 52" by 52" each, putting them togethet on a large dining for our next tea party on February 19th (doing a Galentine's theme, our sorority symbol is a red rose)

Went to an annual flea market in September, this lady had all necklaces shown here for $5 each. Freshwater pearl tassels

More pearls, amethyst necklace is Jay King, Desert Rose Trading, sterling findings

 

I don't know if I posted this before....purchased at a craft show, I just love it, above. More jewelry, below

And this little stinker is living under our shed-no.issues yet, we did look at skunk traps to relocate...but...it's so STINKIN' CUTE!

 

Those tablecloths are either StarTex or Wilendur. If they have no spots or stains they sell for good money!

There are a few stains on one....I am going to wash them in Oxyclean and starch them, then just enjoy them.

 

A few more things...paid a fair price for this, but I love it. Place of origin?

 

Swarovski set, $6

925 Snowflake Obsidian $5

Vintage coral $3

Glass, will post on the jewelry board, $3

$5 sterling Chapel rosary

 

Lastly, online Barbie buys for my collection. The center has black/raven hair, harder to find. The blonde on the right seems to have lemon yellow hair, very HTF.

 

I have my Barbie doll with what I believe to be the bubble cut with black or very dark brown hair.
She came in the black and white bathing suit. Wasn't much of a doll person to my mother's dismay

 

Stinkin cute is right....... live & let live !!!

 

My husband is a big softie. I just hope we don't have a little stinkling litter come spring.

 

u could always pick up her tail to see if she's a boy or girl..............

 

I have looked at the back end, not picking up the tail...smaller skunk, I think female.

 

She looks like a Kit....... I don't know the breed ...
