<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 4394246, member: 36&quot;]Went to an estate sale this morning at Way Too Friggin&#039;&nbsp; Early and in the &quot;kept the engine running&quot; cold.&nbsp; Wore a hat, my down coat, gloves and two pair of socks for a reason. Was it worth it?&nbsp; For once, YEP.&nbsp; Came home tired and chilly but happy.</p><p><br /></p><p>For starters, I ended up with an emerald green glass Blenko water pitcher for $4. The fish is for my niece, hollow and hand signed.&nbsp; The squirrel is one of those Swedish glass ones; a friend is getting that.&nbsp; Oddly, it&#039;s signed Finland. </p><p><br /></p><p>There was a true mourning brooch too, probably gold and onyx but not marked.&nbsp; I&#039;m betting it had a micromosaic or cameo in the center, now long gone.&nbsp; Sterling and lapis earrings.&nbsp; Two pair Mikal Golan earrings and the brooch to match one of them. A JJ Christmas tree (MINE!).&nbsp; Napier sterling leaf pin.&nbsp; Two pair amber and sterling earrings.&nbsp; Catherine Popesco.&nbsp; The kicker was a box of &quot;junk&quot; in the garage.&nbsp; &quot;Oh this is the stuff I threw out. You can have that (for pennies).&quot;&nbsp; The Junk pile included a river of silver with onyx SIGNED sterling necklace in perfect shape, sterling snowflake earrings (probably Skinger), a knotted on cord pearl tin cup necklace, pearl and sterling flower earrings, sterling and crystal earrings and a &quot;broken&quot; ceramic and probably silver necklace I can fix in ten seconds.&nbsp; There&#039;s a magnatic clasp costume necklace too - took me 30 seconds to &quot;fix&quot;, i.e. thread the chain back through the pendant. </p><p><br /></p><p>On the way home, a charity thrift that&#039;s the sister to the one in West Hartford yielded probable gold ball earrings, a solid sterling necklace, and a Patent Pending Trifari necklace that I&#039;ve IDed as 1950 Alfred Philippe. The three together were $17 with tax.&nbsp; Meanwhile they wanted $20 for a Florenza brooch with missing stones and $40 for a sterling ring.&nbsp; Go figure - that&#039;s those charity shops for you. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]370530[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]370531[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]370532[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]370533[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
