Featured I haz fed the Hoard.

Managed to get out again, lovely.

A Pierre Cardin collar, a whole two quid. I spotted the dangle. New clasp I reckon.

Tibetan or Indian maybe low grade silver bottle pendant. 33 pence.

Big heavy sort of dragon's head brooch, the ring dangle moves. A cross between Neverending Story and Game of Thrones. 33 pence again.

I'm a sucker for cut crystal beads. These are older and better than most. Chain thread and rolled gold clasp, which is typical of between the wars Bohemian. Perfect condition. Splashed out seven quid.

Nice old Czech brooch. A couple of quid.

And a very modern lariat, also 33 pence.

 

The Tibetan pendant is great. All of it is great, but that one especially intrigues me. What would the owner put in it? Glad you could get out. COVID restrictions?

 

Personal circumstances, shall we say! But I'm gradually getting out a bit more . x

 

Well, whatever, GOOD to HEAR anyway!!!!

 

...& by the looks of all of your posts, you picked the perfect day to get out!!

 

Glad to hear it. I love your joy in finding things.

 

Retail therapy

 

Definitely therapy and so much better than a mall. Part of the fun is nattering to people. The 33 pence items were from someone who has boxes of stuff for three for a pound. I've had some amazing finds. Even her "full price" things are cheeeeep.

 

You beat me to it, I was about to say someone had a 3 for a pound box! Love those,it means you just HAVE to sift through to find more goodies
The brooch vaguely reminds me of someone, did Neiger have those joined leaves? Probably others too so no real help I’m afraid.
I love those glass bead necklaces, I have WAY too many of them but they are gorgeous. Always worth testing them as I discovered a couple of mine were rock Crystal.

 

As you were!
Neiger is a dot and two leaves.

 

Those clear ones are early to mid-50s. I love finding those in pieces to I can mess with the beads without feeling guilty.

If I found a 3/pound vendor I'd still be there rummaging.(LOL)

 

3 for a pound is a slippery slope. You find one good piece so you have to get 2 more, then a fourth so you just have to choose 6……

 

Dangerous, or a way to stuff a Christmas stocking in jig time.

 

I think the clear ones may be earlier. They're short and on chain with that Czech rod clasp.

Three for a pound is mayhem. The weirdness I've brought home because I HAD to have the things....!

 

Love the Czech brooch.

Nothing Tibetan about it. Indian surmadani or kohl bottle, and a bargain! This Indian stone chip jewellery etc was also exported to the Middle East where it was sold in souvenir shops as locally made.
This is one of mine, a classic Indian mango shape:

 

I sure understand the therapy bit. Here in Missouri and living on a farm, we have been very "open" through out the covid deal. But, there have been few good sales or auctions to entice me . Then when I do go, everyone is in the same boat and desperate for stock for their booths. I know longer have my antique store and just sell on line. I still have the "need " to go. It is an addiction.

 

I completely understand. I find selling stuff quite mundane and tedious so it’s not about the money for me, it’s the hunt, the luck element, the discovery of something lovely and the research.
I suspect it’s the same rush as a gambling addiction but at least we can usually recoup our costs.
I am trying to be in a selling phase at the moment as I’ve just had to pay my tax bill, new turbo on the car, new tyres, two birthdays, oil for the central heating (at 3x the price of last year ) and a vets bill .

 

Our weather has been cold and windy so I have been attacking the rooms of stuff I have left over from the antique shop . trying to sell as much as I can before everyone runs out of money!

 

I was a sales person all my working life. You never lose the rush.
