@afantiques : What's a para-daughter? The daughter of your paramour?

 

I Love your picture !

 

I hope my ciggie nastiness was not on your items. I keep everything in my bedroom since no smoking allowed in there........but.....my fumes could escape.

 

What's a para-daughter?

The language lacks a handy term for a step child where no marriage is involved.

 

Bonus Daughter is a term I have heard

 

Bonus daughter -- much better!

 

Ok first day off
since I can't remember and Im sure they'd like me to work today NOT
I heard you mention property management Bev Must be a booming business, more work than I can handle

Here is most of the jewelry, I was picking fast lol!
The lady next to me was watching and picking a little but was clearly not a jewelry girl lol
30.00 after negotiatin



Then this morn at swap I hit a small gold mine....sort of 60.00 for this lot of 10 & 14k could have bought more, but theres luckily or unfortunately, no atm there and a bummer to get in and out of



af I can only imagine that smell, but if I saw jewels...but they pick up smells. I once had a freezer unplugged by accident, I will never forget that. I could not go in the room. I could not have gone in there if human is worst and I can only imagine it is....tough one kind of
Bev the plain heart is fake also the little gold hoop earrings are fake I think, but the chains are silver.....

 

Those heaps of 'jewels' would make a wonderful pirate treasure for children of the right age.

I wonder if hoovering them up is a sign of just not having a good enough pirate treasure as a child.
And the clothes buyers, would a really full dressing up box have satisfied this urge when young?

Could all of us have been cured of collecting if we'd just had access to more junk when young? Like a vaccination?

 

I'm not sure, af.
My sisters and I had a whole attic full of such stuff to play with, and I still got the bug.

 

Beleek & Austria salts oriental salts trinkets...
I think the copenhagen is cactus with bloom
Unmarked pottery vase and 1932 silhouette
Was curious about this California piece since it was just discussed. But looks like this one has little value Ron Allen

I suspect it'd just create an addiction, always want more more more!

 

Not sure but think we all are a little touched....I'm sure there's no cure

 

@mymysharona43

I really like that fish piece in your second photo

 

Thank you!

 

Sharonna, you hit another jackpot!

 

Thanks Marko it was just luck to beat any other dealers there. I didnt write down the address just lucked upon it sorta. There were 3 old jewelry boxes in the middle of 2 long tables of jewelry Yahhhh I was in a trance for sure.....
Then found the gold this morn, sometimes its a bust..

 

a few minutes after I found the gold seller the mob caught on....had to buy fast there sometimes

 

they probably saw the frenzy from a known dealer lol
sweats shaking

 

after I got the gold I wanted I went and alerted a friend/gold buyer about the gold going fast and watched his booth for a few minutes. He gave me 10 bucks for watching his booth

 

Good score on the jewels sharona! I like that fish too.
I got some nice glass, 2 pieces Robert Held and one Kralik, a smoker (incense burner) from West Germany, this nice writing desk with a carved pen inside and a pewter inkwell.
