That was my first thought too.

 

The image is tinted a bit and they picked out her brooch in gold paint. That was an upcharge, back when. I bet you can see more in the right lighting. I had a "haunted" one once; the lady's dress only showed its colors when held at the right angle.

 

Both brooches. On older daughter too. But no cameo. I have seen dresses like the one on the younger girl only in paintings of the children of the well-to-do.

 

This is another from the same bag, also with gold accent.

 

$avers. There’s also another so faded I can’t make out the image and an one empty union case and an empty French ormolu miniature frame.

 

Got a small Rio Grande weaving for $3.99 and a Frank Armstrong sterling belt for $5.99. And a painting by a listed Gloucester artist that I haven’t photographed yet.

 

This jug was $4.99 plus ten minutes of stripping the paint off.

 

We need to plan a road trip to @anundverkaufen's house!!

I'll admit I do find some goodies at the GW on my Tuesday trips, but I never score like he does.

 

I wonder how long those beautiful gold flowers have been hiding the name.

 

This is the Gloucester painting and a little unknown windmill painting for $3.99 each, and a signed ox blood teapot that needs research.

 

I almost don't know how to admit this but so do we!. She's a gorgeous little one with her own pump trailer that my OH restored.

 

before ya'll head out...wait for me to visit my kin in Duxbury.......& I can join in on the fun !!

 

Today’s find at a local thrift: a Tapio Wirkkala for Iittala 9 inch tall Gerania vase, designed in 1970. The internet says that this design was in production from 1970-81. It’s supposed to look like melting ice.

 

LOVE that vase Bluumz!

 

How prophetic. Nice chunk of glass.

 

Thanks, I’m glad someone does, LOL! I’m not that enamored of it so it’s likely to go up for sale on eBoo. Though I do think it looks “interesting“…

Yep. The snow is coming down here now. ☹️

 

New addition to my Fenton collection. They had five more of the same candy dish in various colors, but I don't have the room.
