This necklace is very delicate....I often find pieces of rhinestones like this, never an entire necklace. I always wondered what the pieces were.

 

The coinage of Chios features such a sphinx. The man's head seems not to be what was on the other side.

 

I recognized the name because it is very similar to a company that produced some of the most wonderful Czech perfume bottles such as the black one on the right.

 

Found some fungus in the ginseng last night

Went to try them again tonight


Got to chatting with the neighbor when they were on the grill




Tasted about like crispy bacon to me

 

Morels flambe?

 

Don't !!!
There will be other days....better days , where you're not accused of theft !!!

 

Jablonec/Gablonz was THE centre of both wonderful rhinestones and glass stones and garnets.

 

Went out yesterday, early, it was soooo hot again. Flea market had half the normal amount of vendors, jewelry sharks beat me to some good stuff. There are three on a regular basis I see, only two yesterday. The one guy is an "expert" and the regulars hold a lot of things for him to look at and buy. He told this lady a pair of costume earrings were sterling, they weren't, so I said to her "he would have bought them if they were sterling." He left some decent costume, though.
$1 each

 

I bought some non-jewelry items. All these Christmas Annalees were $2 each.

The Robert Tonner doll was $10. They are no longer made. One debox3d, a bit messy, sold for $99 recently on ebay.


Lenox Autmn mini vase, the only pattern I keep, $2.

 

Who are we kidding? Back to jewelry.
Just little stuff, 50 cents to $1.

 

A bit more expensive. 14k earrings, antique mall mistake, $2.

Antique mall, sterling, $5

Antique mall, $10, needs a bit of work.

Flea market bag of single earrings for my craft jars, $4.

 

Nice. I am not a doll person but her eyes are exquisite. I never heard of that brand before.

 

Flea market, set of pearls, sterling findings, $5

Antique mall set, $9

Glamor Misty for my doll collection, vintage wire stand and clone bridesmaid outfit, $24 splurge.

Carousel horse brooch. $5

 

This is an earlier basic doll. The subsequent dolls were stunning, used various face molds. I had a huge collection, sold it for a huge profit. People customize them, too. I will post some pics in a bit of dolls I owned.

 

Antique mall, just a costume bracelet, but someone removed a charm and put the cherub C charm on, 14k.
Thrift shop necklaces, $$2.99 plus 20% off.

Avon

And the jewelry expert advising everyone left this Juliana brooch for me, $1.

 

Oops, bracelet with cherub C

 

Some Tonner dolls I owned and sold.
Blushing Queen of Hearts

Royal Queen of Hearts

Mera

Aquaman

Peggy Harcourt

There are so many more....I used to buy a few of the limited editions, hold them, then sell them. If you ever see a Tonner doll at a reasonable price, buy it!!!

 

Pearls, I own one customized Tonner doll, Stella face mold. She was redone as a vampire. She pretty much has tripled in value.
