<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Marko, post: 70575, member: 210&quot;]I am in love with the variation of colors in that turquoise ring.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I think that bowl is great!&nbsp; Those wine bottles will make excellent terrariums.&nbsp; We used to make them in school, it is a lost art today.....</p><p><br /></p><p>I went to the worst yard sale today that advertised jewelry.&nbsp; I got there an hour after it started,there was a table of jewelry, some in glass cases.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I found a cardboard box and started looking through it- I found an 18k plated Italy bracelet, thick, big.&nbsp; A lady standing there (supposedly a &quot;friend&quot; of the family having the yard sale) starts SCREAMING &quot;Let me see that bracelet!&nbsp; Where did you get it?&nbsp; I didn&#039;t see it!&quot; to which I replied, &quot;No, and you were here first, so you should have seen it.&quot;&nbsp; Then I am trying to look through the contents of the rest of the cardboard box and a really big pushy lady (another one) starts taking the jewelry away from me.&nbsp; She said &quot;I want to look, too&quot; to which I replied &quot;You can look as soon as I finish&quot; to which the lady who wanted my bracelet said &quot;No, she can look, too.&quot;&nbsp; So I got what I wanted and moved on.&nbsp; The lady wouldn&#039;t SHUT UP about the bracelet &quot;I had one, I bought it for $20 and sold if for $90!!!!&quot;&nbsp; So I asked the person actually having the yard sale how much the pile I had was.&nbsp; The bracelet lady runs up and yells &quot;She said she would only pay $10 for this bracelet!&quot; which was a total lie, I offered no price.&nbsp; The lady would not stop harping about the bracelet.&nbsp; The yard sale person had to walk away- she gave up. </p><p><br /></p><p>So I started singing the Frozen &quot;Let it Go&quot; song and handed the pain in the butt lady the bracelet saying &quot;HERE!!!! YOU CAN HAVE THE BRACELET!&quot;&nbsp; Now she is pacified and is giving the store away to me- I was grabbing stuff in the glass cases, sterling, vintage, she didn&#039;t care.&nbsp; She got her bracelet.&nbsp; But I know Karma works in mysterious ways......</p><p><br /></p><p>So this is what I ended up with- total cost of stuff was $19.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Montana blue rhinestone set</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18275[/ATTACH] </p><p>Emerald green glass necklace</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18276[/ATTACH] </p><p>hand-knotted olivine-colored glass necklace, needs repair</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18277[/ATTACH]</p><p>The frog pendant, hoop earrings, and ring are sterling.&nbsp; The single earring is 14k scrap.&nbsp; Freshwater pearls are genuine.&nbsp; The chain is gold-filled, the watch piece will be an anklet.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18278[/ATTACH]</p><p>My favorite, broken pieces of an older brass and glass necklace, thinking of how to restore it</p><p>[ATTACH=full]18279[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
