<p>[QUOTE="Barn Owl, post: 2387171, member: 4864"]Accidentally arrived an hour early for a dentist appointment today, so I swung by a nearby consignment store. Never had luck at these places, but nearly had a heart attack going by the jewelry cabinet. Snatched up these two Native American sterling and turquoise brooches for $8.50 and $7.50, the pearl necklace for $12.50, and the modernist (untested) plastic bracelet for $6.50. That got my blood going, so on the way home I dropped by my usual thrift and came out with even more treasures. The bag is Pratesi from Italy. A bit damaged and worn (see the handle), but still a steal in my mind for $15, considering they go for $800 new. Some nice boxes, one made from what looks like a real egg, another that is gorgeous Russian lacquer (albeit with a damaged hinge). In total spent $85 today on all that you see.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]262644[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262645[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262647[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]262648[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
