<p>[QUOTE="evelyb30, post: 46632, member: 36"]It was deader than a doornail here the entire month of February. Anything anyone thought of doing was snowed out for weeks on end. I did however find a few dabs of jewelry today. Blind luck - popped up in a senior living center. I thought the birds were Chinese when I first saw them, but there are Italian silver marks on the back. The plique a jour flower has them too. The amber isn't too valuable, but it's nice, and the lizard is sterling. My guess is Mexican but it's not marked. (Plique a jour, btw, is a type of enamel that doesn't have any metal in back of it. It looks like stained glass. I don't think this is strictly the original kind, but it's close enough for an Ebay title.)</p><p><img src="http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff436/Evelyb302/101_0094.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff436/Evelyb302/101_0095.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/ff436/Evelyb302/101_0099.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
