It is from Zara, very showy and very cheap, 2 euros. No stones missing and looks very good on. It will do as a present for someone.

 

Picked these up at a local auction the other day. Fell in love with them instantly and was willing to pay much more than the £15 I paid for the lot. Bit of a resto project for myself. No idea of the maker but they look like a bit of a tribute to Nanny Still Mckinney. The cast green glass in the shades and the copper are her sort of style. The shades are some kind of metal but haven't started stripping them yet, some nasty paint on there.

 

Popsy, isn't amazing what you find at the end of the day? I love those lamps, 47, they remind me of stop lights that only signal go.

 

Okay, it is time for the HSN/QVC estate sale eclectic mix show. All found Friday and Saturday at the cray-cray sale. Here we have a purple Nolan Miller bracelet, a dark red Nolan Miller grape brooch, a sterling and onyx bracelet, two 14k opal stick pins, an Amedeo cameo brooch/pendant combo, and an Amedeo bracelet.

Next up, ladies and gentlemen, is an onyx strand, a Nolan Miller necklace, and a genuine rope garnet necklace.
For your viewing pleasure, we are showcasing three Joan Rivers necklaces.

 

But we have just gotten started. A pair of lovely seed bead necklaces were in the zip lock baggies.

And the Melania Trump collection screams summertime with this elegant watch and silvertone cascade necklace.

Let's get eclectic now. The silvertone cross necklace seems to have soldolite? stones. We also have opalescent glass, a rhinestone necklace, and an old glass necklace added to the mix.

 

The rope garnet necklace is identical to one I’ve been watching online. Stunning and always reminds me of pomegranate seeds. I’ll either break down and spend the amount to collect one or luck out and find it in my wanderings. Excellent finds!

 

Don't change that channel! Here we have the elegance and timelessness of sterling silver in the RLM necklace shown.

Speaking of timelessness, the Nolan Miller watch and the sterling silver encased watch, band and all, need batteries.

And for the sophisticated lady, we have a Hobe bracelet with a genuine smokey quartz stone.


Above, we have the bits and bobs used for fillers in the bags. The St. Anthony key chain was a sleeper, it is a relic holder.

 

From the home with the never-ending array of sparkle, we now bring you vintage milk glass and brilliant rhinestone trim.

And to wrap up the show, we have the blingy belt trio that brings out the Bohemian in all of us.

 

Tomorrow I will hopefully be able to photograph the few things I found at a thrift shop right around the corner. Sorry for the overload, I have a really busy week ahead of me.

 

I love your play by play, Marko! Sounds like you've heard more than your share of home shopping patter!

 

@seaweed treasures, you can just get some paper the same color, go looking online for that old label-repro, just print it up and VOILA! There ya go!!!!!

 

Those are traditional Indian, probably made in Rajasthan. I am sure you will come across one for a nice price, because some people think they are junk, which they aren't.

 

They turn up occasionally, generally at decent prices. I have one here myself somewhere, bought at a fundraiser sale for not much.

 

Got a box lot at the hoarder estate I mentioned in the other thread. I was after the Fire King white swirl bowls but liked these two other pieces. Anyone have an idea on the maker of the green glass bowl and yellow pitcher?

 

wowsers!

 

Love those old blown glass bulbs. That beehive coil is really cool

 

You find the coolest stuff, Davey. It's amazing what people save.

 

And it still works. That ought to be worth money even now. Those old 30s bulbs were really neat.

 

Two VERY good buys from Ebay France
No dimensions given in the listing, not in hands yet, I caught it 2 minutes ago
A Chisese antique carved pits beads bracelet (prayer?) for 25€:




A splendid around 1890s 8 X 5 CM perfume bottle, crystal and 18ct gold, hallmarked with the French eagle's head, 111grams in whole, for 30€.
Seller thought gilt metal, lacking the inner stopper... NO! The lid has a spring under a round glass plaque which remain tight to the bottle opening when it is closed. No dripping at all!
A Marquis crown and D M monogram.
Easily got rid of the dark stains on the gold part.
