Adorable!

 

Domino says it's a properly sized cat bed. It holds one Domino.

 

My cat likes to sit on the doggie bed, since she rules the house the dogs just give in

 

Dommie is a furry land orca at 17 plus pounds. The vet gave me the head-down-eyes-up-over-the glasses look.

 

tell him to get a job....!

 

I understand that look all too well. My last 4 legged employer was 25+ pounds. In my defense he was big boned, attached to my hip but one very special boy.

 

That happens when they're neutered.

 

No, my friend bought me chicken-flavored Temptation cat treats for my cats for Christmas. It's all he wants to eat. He howls and climbs all over me if he doesn't get enough. Sigh. The other two are fine weight-wise.

 

My late Genie loved those too; they were all she'd eat at the end. They're kitty Doritos.

 

I have picked up quite a bit lately. Here is one of my favorites, blue Czech glass. I will post more later. Question- would you guys rather I post my jewelry finds here or on the jewelry board?

 

I can only speak for myself but I enjoy seeing your finds. I'm not a joolie but it give me an idea what to watch for and I'm often blown away by the treasures you share.

Thank you!

Hello all! So nice to be back. I posted the jewelry in the appropriate forum, but wanted to show them off here!
From top to bottom: Georgian dot paste brooch, Georgian silver and diamond brooch, Georgian paste and unknown stone (?) brooch, Deco Egyptian Revival mechanical telescopic pencil pendant.


Also purchased this off of ebay, a lovely collection of miniatures by the same artist, with an inscription on the back! The listing description stated the inscription read:
'Miniatures painted around 1890-95 by Louis Chaumezière, married to Constant Maho 24.12.51'
But I rather think there's an E on the end of Louis, and so should be Louise. Not sure!

​

 

It's Louise. Suspect the descendent who maintains this family tree would be interested.

oh wow that was quick! How lovely to have that, I'll try to contact him. Thanks so much Debora!

 

That Egyptian telescope is too cool.

 

Good day for the first time this year at the local picker's flea since it started in April

Left to right starting at the back, 1930s McCoy vase, yet to ID green vase, yet to ID mid-century white vase, McCoy pine sugar bowl, yellow bamboo flower pot maybe McCoy, red rhinestone hair comb and 2 nice costume bracelets.

 

Google search says the green vase and yellow flower pot are Brush McCoy, the white vase RRPCo. Just a first guess, I will try to verify the IDs
