These have all already sold, but I've been too busy to organise a post.

First is a Murrle Bennett silver & amethyst pendant, cost £33 on eBay, second is a pair of Irish Dresden figures for £7.50. Pink guilloche & sterling vanity set for £85, and a small Chinese vase for £2.

 

That pendant and dresser set are to die for.

 

good eye...Mr.Brown !!

 

Not much out there this weekend, it was in the mid-90s here. I found 8 Lenox Autumn place mats and 8 dinner napkins for a dollar each....they look like they were never used. I don't know if Lenox made them, and there are a few variations out there.
I got this very tall mother of pearl vase for $5, it seems to be a Pier 1 Imports piece.

 

Some silver bits and a costume bling pendant from chazzas today. Paid less than a tenner for everything.

 

A group of SW US Native American ephemera. Kinda fun!

 

The woman that rolls the merchandise carts at $avers asked if I would put a microwave on the shelf for her, I said “only if I can have that piece of pottery” pointing to this Jean Derval Madonna and Child. I would have helped her anyway but hey...


Also got these two Murano paperweights. Total was $9 for all three pieces.

 

Congrats on another successful trip to your own personal honeypot!!

How big is that Madonna piece? Did you know the artist when you saw it in the cart? Is either of the paperweights marked?

I do want to know one more thing though were you too late to get the sterling today?

 

That scramble looks Fratelli Toso.

 

Anund scores again!

 

The Madonna is about 12” tall, the paperweights are not marked, one has a partial label.
No sterling today but I have been finding loads of it, it’s selling really well out of my showcase so I put the better stuff in there soon after finding it. I actually have about 50 lbs. that I need to polish (ughh!). I sold over $3k worth this month alone.

 

That’s what I think too!

 

I only knew it was a good piece of pottery, I’ve had one other piece by him but didn’t know this was him until she handed it to me.

 

I am beyond jealous! LOVE that statue !

 

It's basket time......
I haven't bought anything for a while , but visiting with my pal , a Mi'kmaq elder, he had this in a corner full of eagle feathers....
a mini Cree birch bark...
I overpaid...but he's a pal...and it's too cute..
3 tall by 3 by 4 inches..

 

Mi'kmaq, signed and it had eagle feathers in it? I'd have bought that too.

 

a mini Cree birch bark...............

still, it's a wonder i don't have a full miniature basket collection..

 

I was in the second shift at an estate sale yesterday instead of second in the door. Still managed to get Stuff as most of the other folks were after kajillion tons of automotive and WWII-related paper. The house was loaded. Also loaded with stairs everywhere. Total house of horrors for anyone mobility-impaired. That said, I found some things anyway. Still need to clean them up and photograph, except for the ring that hopped on my finger and wouldn't leave. The other goodies are from an antique store today. I've started threads on the birds and the leaves. The blue rhinestones are 1950s Weiss and the cuff links are 800 silver.

The ring from the Haul is silver with a star ruby. The stone is purply and the star is more of a blob, but too bad.

 

Did you take the ring outside with the sun overhead to see the star? Lower quality star sapphires need a pinpoint light or the sun to show up,they are not like the man made Linde stars.
