<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 331271, member: 210&quot;]Evelyb, I think your cameo is Athena.... definitely a helmet, and very majestic.&nbsp; Don&#039;t you just love antique malls?&nbsp; Hehehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bronwen, what is that cameo?</p><p><br /></p><p>I have some finds to photograph tomorrow.&nbsp; I do have a story to relate about the antique show I attended today, one I attend every year.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am a member of a local museum, pay them the membership yearly, so hubby and I get in for free to events like the antique show today.&nbsp; There is one table that always has $5 jewelry items, and I always buy things there, not too many this year, and I saw a modern Italy mosaic bracelet.&nbsp; Not bad, but I have older ones I like better.&nbsp; I hooked the clasp and set it down nicely on the table.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was looking at some earrings at the most exclusive jewelry dealer in the place, and the owner of the $5 item table comes running up to me and accuses me of stealing the mosaic bracelet.&nbsp; I was mortified.&nbsp; I am not a thief, that&#039;s not who I am.&nbsp; She keeps insisting (in front to the exclusive jeweler) that I stole her bracelet and she wants it back because somebody wants to buy it.&nbsp; I opened my purse and asked her to look in it.&nbsp; She said &quot;are you wearing it?&nbsp; Roll up your sleeves&quot; (I had a long-sleeved NFL Eagles shirt on.)&nbsp; I pulled up my sleeves and said &quot;I don&#039;t have your bracelet!&quot; and I walked back to her table to see if it was there.&nbsp; I showed her right where I set it down (it wasn&#039;t there) and she is yelling &quot;You were the last one to look at it!!!&nbsp; Where is my mosaic bracelet?&quot;&nbsp; And with that, a woman standing at the table said &quot;This bracelet?&quot;&nbsp; That woman had it in her hand.&nbsp; Now the dealer doesn&#039;t say ONE WORD to me.&nbsp; I look at her and I say &quot;I think I am owed an APOLOGY.&quot;&nbsp; She says &quot;sorry.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I was shaking I was so upset.&nbsp; Hubby caught up with me and said to not let it ruin my day, he was right, everybody else was so very nice.&nbsp; I will show you how the universe rewarded me tomorrow when I take pictures of my finds.&nbsp; And I did buy the item I was looking at from the exclusive jeweler (but that is yet another story.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>And..... I spoke to the person who runs the show and told her what happened.&nbsp; She was upset and I told her it wasn&#039;t her fault, but she said she would speak to that dealer.... they value their members.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
