nice interesting finds.....
now you'r on the road to becoming a stone carver or predicting , why you won't !

 

I was gifted a feather, by a white witch... who found me worthy.!

 

A great buy then for 50 cents! Thanks for the confirmation Ruth

 

Nice that 28 homes got raided, worrying that the drug dealers are moving into that business because of the huge profits. Apple should be doing more but I suppose they profit because the person stolen from buys another new phone. I have decided London under Khan is a city I will never go to on my own again.

 

There’s getting to be a lot of British people now who have had enough of this. The next 3 years with this are likely going to be awful for many of us. 2TKeir is hugely unpopular. I’m sure the law could confiscate much more of the profits all these criminals make and Rachel from Accounts could leave the state pensioners alone.

 

The internet dates the cards to 1968. That fits with bag.

 

I went to a charity jewelry sale, what a nightmare. Three women, two were a pair, grabbed everything they could get their hands on then sat and louped everything. They slowly put back what they didn't deem worthy. Another woman who was older and using a cane cut the line and people felt sorry for her so she grabbed a ton and was still sitting there 90 minutes later deciding what she wanted to buy. I
A fight broke out because the pair of women kept blocking the tables. Sigh. The necklaces were $3, earrings $2 except otherwise mark, pins $3. This is the best of what I got.

Lions are Ann Klein, red balls are coral. Orange faceted glass is marked Czechoslova. Lily pads are black enamel on sterling.Pearl drops sterling and Majorca pearls.
FW pearls have 14k clasp. Amber glass bracelet. Two long stainless chains. Ann Klein three-strand goldtone necklace. Agate snd Druzy necklace.

Top multicolored gemstones is a set of earrings, bracelet, and necklace. Spoon is a pendant. Goldtone earrings are Norma Jean brand. Onyx and snowflake agate.

 

Black FW pearls, sterling clasp. Jadeite costume bracelet. Flower is a goldeashed sterling bracelet. Old dress clip. Leopard jasper pendant. Stainless chains in this Pic.
14k and onyx earrings, $3.

 

I like the leopard jasper pendant, but then I like rocks. Whoever was running the charity should've stepped in and told the ladies to put stuff back so others could look. Sheesh.

 

Thanks @Debora!!

 

I don't sweep a table unless I'm buying the lot. Anything else is rude at a church sale. I've been at sales where two people took control of an area and sat there loupeing everything. That's not how it's done, folks. It's how you get yourselves not intited back. Besides, these days a lot of church sales have someone go though everything first and take the obvious gold out. No point.

 

What can be done? The people running the sale just allowed it. And as they brought more jewelry out to replenish the tables, the two women grabbed the boxes. I think they need to institute rules. Another woman sat next to the two louping, and they handed what they did not want you her. Then another woman started to sit there and go through their bowls picking and choosing. I feel like writing a letter to them.

 

They miss things, but not much. The 14k onyx earrings were $3.

 

Marko, is the flower by David Andersen? Looks like this brooch. Pieces are often gold washed.

 

Isn't that a pretty!

I'm looking for black onyx or jet earrings in that style so I am envious! I hope your luck rubs off on me!

 

Complain. If I were running the sale I'd put up notices that if you get rude you get nothing. The two ladies would have gotten a flea in their ear and no jewelery. Zero.

 

Findings are often all they miss.
