Featured Finds Thread

I take heat around here for a lot o' crap .;;.... but this time , I'll own it !!!
nice pot !

 

I've posted it up in the Tribal Art Forum

 

Komo's thinking "too bad it's not in the Giveaway forum"!

 

my Puko knife sits with arms reach ....... he can keep the poster..!!!
Stab, stab , stab.....

 

meaning I've done just fine on the give away forum...

 

oh, ya....there's a fine camera on my desk in the next room , too...

 

but u got me thinking......I haven't given away anything worthwhile in a long time........?????

 

Pleased with my recent jewellery finds at charity shops & a vintage fair. Would anyone be able to identify the conical beads in the first necklace please? I wondered if the green could be jade? The black beads have a soapy sort of feel so I think maybe soapstone? The orange/brown beads have fine black & white veins running through them.

 

I found a nice Ceres cameo at a local antique mall.
Too bad her original gold frame was likely scrapped.
I will create a sterling bezel to wear her as a pendant.

 

The multicolor necklace looks like assorted jaspers and dyed aventurine.

 

While kayaking this morn I found this weird small hoof along the messasloppy river

Paddling a kayak is much more difficult than a canoe

Guess I gotta go back and pick up this fossil bison tooth tomorrow

 

Thats wild Terry ! very cool.

 

Thank you so much - I googled jasper & aventurine and that is exactly what my beads are! Still not sure what the black ones are though - they have a totally different feel to them.

 

They might be glass; the other beads aren't expensive stones and mixing glass in wouldn't be unheard of.

 

I had a bit of a Czech filigree perfume bottle run over the last couple of weeks.

The one on the right with the green dangles was purchased from @drg642 & it joins one of its cousins that was purchased off eBay last year.


This one was posted on the forum by @cxgirl seeking my help. I decided to help her out by taking it off her hands.


This last one is missing a stone at the top right but I will eventually find one to fit the spot. It is unusual because the metal frame totally encompasses the bottle. I have one of its cousins done in dark blue stones & pearls.


Thank you to both @drg642 & @cxgirl for expanding my collection!!!

 

Needed to run an errand to a town that has a thrift that doesn't make jewelry mistakes....except this one. Not the greatest piece, but 14k emerald and white sapphire bracelet for $5.

 

YAY! NICE! My mistake of today was going to a tag sale 20+ minutes away at wayyy too early o'clock and spending ... $3. The gas cost more. Supposed to be an estate tag sale and it was just a tag sale. No old stuff.

 

I am waiting for Labor Day weekend....lots of yard sales and an outdoor show on one of my circuits.

 

lol, looks much better at your place than sitting on my dining room table Thanks for taking it off my hands

 

wow, very nice mistake Marko
