that's special !!!!
Oh...& happy Birthday !

 

Thank you! 62 today (social security keeps calling my name, but I am taking it year by year.) Tomorrow hubby and I are going to Cape May to have dinner at the Lobster House (weekends are too crowded, and shore traffic is a mess). Be assured we will be stopping at many thrift shops and antique malls.

 

Didn't work for me, and for many others. If it works for you and terry you can count yourselves lucky.

 

could I do with a lobster roll right about now !!!!! num num num.....

62 today...you say......well then.. gimme a moment !!

 

That works for some items, but they already know that the Persian donkey beads and some other traditional items are originally from Iran.

 

Congratulations! Sounds wonderful, antiques and lobster, two of my favourites. Enjoy your day!

 

Happy Birthday, Marko!

 

Happy birthday, Marko!

 

Thanks, guys. I always get the broiled lobster tail. I promise to take a picture of my dinner for you!

 

Where does that leave Persian cats?

Have a great day & a great year.

 

I realized that, but I am so far behind the times, I thought ebay still owned paypal (they did a spin-off in 2015).

 

So do I. They are a marriage ( ceremony was this morning!)rather than a set but they go very well together.
I've noticed something unusual about them though that the clasp is meant to be worn at the front as the biggest beads are right next to the clasp and the smaller ones go behind the neck. Not seen one like that before.

 

I actually have a graduated silver freshwater pearl necklace like that....it took me awhile to figure out how to work the clasp.

 

I finally figured out you to open the clasp you had to pinch the back part open.

 

I had some Persian Rose Van Briggle get by too


Couldn't find the old Tehran magazines. They were fun.

 

Wondering why their naps are being disturbed by their human slaves. Where else?

 

I just searched ebay for "iran" and there were 60,799 results -- I just skimmed the first page, but many even had "Iran" in the title.

 

Happy Birthday Marko!
The bracelet is so beautiful
Enjoy your special dinner

 

Yet another case of "It will only get yanked if it's yours" Ebay policy enforcement. They do seem to allow Persian enamel jewelry and Persian story bracelets. But... it's iffy. It ought to fall under the artwork exemption, but we all know Ebay and their exemptions.

 

Picked this up for 2.5 euros today. Any thought on what stone it might be? I'd think turquoise, but it doesn't look like what I'd think of turquoise. (Note: that straight black line on the upper right-hand side is probably just a hair.)
