    Nothing going on here....there is a show I may go to next weekend. Here are some pictures of the jewelry my friend gave me over the summer. This is about half of it.

    Yes. It is missing a few tiny clear rhinestones that can be easily replaced. I love the matching earrings. The gold brooch with clear rhinestones is Kramer.

    I am behind in my photographing....I picked up another Juliana brooch for $2.50 at the flea market. Husband was tending the store while the wife seller was shopping.

    I think that's St Peter's in Rome, rather than our Paul.

    Grabbed this from a dealer who apparently usually sells fine jewellery on the Portobello.

    Hah. Bex, I reckon. Fifty pence.

    The stones will alas remain yellow. That resin goes yellow when light hits it, so they're all yellow.

    That circular pin I found with the turqoises is most likely silver; it needs testing, as does the bangle.

    Great stuff here. What size are the Gucci shoes in American sizes?
    I am just curious.

    Yeah, that's the one pain with Bex. Still worth fifty pence, though. ;)

    I've just recovered this chest from the latest clearance.
    Victorian 1870-80 mahogany bow front.
    Needs a bit of work but a decent find.

    Nice find Davey!
    Here is mine for today.
    An old tapestry 1.71 by 1.81 m. "Bad to the bone"...Very bad conditon, but it still presents well. I like it a lot.
    Thinking of keeping it, but any manipulation makes it loosing lots of small particles....
    Anyway, here are the pic's.
    A hunting scen (boar and dog), lots of floral decoration and a building with a tower in the background.

    Now to find a key that fits the latches. Or not. If it's not locked you can't lose the key!
