<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 244742, member: 210&quot;]I hear you about thinking I should have gone to this sale first, what did I miss?&nbsp; Drives me nuts.&nbsp; There are always tons of yard sales this Memorial Day weekend.&nbsp; Hubby drove me south the first day.....we got up late by my standards, but it was good enough.&nbsp; The best place I hit was a barn sale.... the people are dealers and they have it a few times a year.&nbsp; The jewelry was really picked over, and I kept thinking&nbsp; &quot;Shoulda got here earlier....&quot;&nbsp; but the guy must have bought out a Sorrento jewelry factory, there was still tons left, sterling and gold-filled pieces.&nbsp; Then there was an outdoor antique sale that happens a few times a year.... it was a garnety weekend, that&#039;s all I can say.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think this is truly my first Bohemian garnet piece, just set in a base metal.....from an antique dealer, but I got a good price.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]75062[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]75063[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Then she had a pair of garnet cluster earrings (I have two pairs now), but these were twice as big as my other two pairs.... one of the posts is missing, so I got them for $15.&nbsp; I am going to have 14k posts soldered on.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]75064[/ATTACH] </p><p>Then, at the barn sale, jewelry was $2 a piece or 3 pieces for $5.&nbsp; I spent $20 there, this is one set of earrings, Sorrento gold-filled, and the garnets are genuine.&nbsp; </p><p>[ATTACH=full]75065[/ATTACH] </p><p>I also got a three-garnet sterling vermeil necklace, broken chain, needs replacing. I guess the best deal was a bag of 14k earrings, small, one pair are small emeralds and diamonds, one pair small rubies, one pair gold hearts, one pair gold stars, all in a bag for $2.&nbsp; Today I hit some yard sales and an estate sale, not much left, but I am way behind in photographing stuff.&nbsp; Sorry for the long post, I have been super-busy with the day job and my uncle.&nbsp; Miss you guys![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
