Flea market finds today...

Sweet wire basket with glass insert sun faces, nice old pot, 1940s or so painted box:




And a wire hanger to hold your rolling pin and bread board

 

Some jewelry I picked up at a vintage shop...


Small Victorian sash pin, brass with glass stone.


Victorian gold filled bar pin with an enameled panel.


Sterling filigree and agate bracelet.

 

How Terry keeps finding silver in Spenders I have no idea. I've never found jack in that place.

 

Wow.......just WOW !!

 

That enameled bar pin, wow. I never saw cloisonne cufflinks, nice find. The silver lot.... OMG!

And those KITTIES!

I sent four pictures to my email, one showed up.... I have a story that went with one of them, oh well....maybe tomorrow, I am swamped at work.

I did find this little bacchante 800 silver left-facing cameo ring. That was a mouthful. My outdoor antique show last weekend proved to be fruitful, more later.

 

"Found" this but not buying since it's over my budget at $9800. I think it's just beautiful! A turn-of-the-century tobacco store cabinet, much of the storage areas were originally lined in zinc. A Phillip Morris decal is still evident.

 

The Mrs could use that to store her yarn in

 

Wow! Could build a house around that cabinet.

 

What a fantastic cabinet ! Bet I already have enough to load it up .

 

A lovely cabinet !! It would hold all my small dolls and then some .. Joy.

 

That might hold my quilt fabric. Might. I think it needs to back in a store though.

 

Nice!!! Are you sure it couldn't be an old belt buckle?

 

We need to see the backs.

 

Extremely pretty, much nicer than is usual in a piece like this. Really wish I could disabuse sellers of the notion that left-facing ('sinistral') is rare & therefore more valuable/desirable. If you look at this Pinterest board of male portrait cameos, you can see lefties are really quite common.

Edit: Just counted, out of 81 total posts, 42 are left-facing cameos. Some of the posts are not cameos or are forward facing. Of cameos in profile, well over half face left.

 

No no...me first.......there's so much yarn here it'd fill every nook.......but then she'd go out and buy more............so......ok...you can have it !!!

 

They have hinged cuff link backs on them. I could have sworn they were shoe buckles too, but nope. No sign they were ever on a belt.

I have to get a photo of a piece of jewelry from my first rummage sale of the day - a high relief lava cameo.

 

Show! Show! Show!

 

I just took a quick and dirty. It'll have to wait until I get back from Rummage Sale #2 today before I can edit and post however. Her nose makes her look like a Greek statue - it got knocked off some time in the distant past. The setting is a little bashed too, it's on it second set of hinges, but as far as I'm concerned that makes it even better; it gives the age away.

 

Conversion, but from what??? that makes really huge cufflinks

 

Wow, what a beautiful piece I would love to have something like that in my house.
