Garage sale finds,, is this not the cutest thing ??
« on: March 15, 2014, 02:34:10 pm »
Found a few things this morning !!  This is one of them !! Also found a nice kaleidoscope set in oak case, a hand blown vase, signed, that I need some help with !!  Will post that one later,,a signed original etching, Newer Limoges creamer (I think) one RS Germany small, handled dish, Stained glass books, antique books and a few other things !!  But this is just too cute,, lid is a butterfly pin, very nicely enameled inside and out, jeweled on top !! Haven`t seen one like this before,, and yes,,I know its newer !!

Ha just an ebayer... everything to me these days is that... I wish I could collect but the things I collect I never find....
Check this out... Probably at least 200 years old based on the amount of garbage that was in the dumpster around it.

Beautiful piece Mart!

Hope you weren't blown away with storms tonight!  Hubby said some good ones blew through the metroplex and we just had some hard rain here in Shreveport!  BUT...I made my rounds and got some great finds prior to the rain drops!  :)

Not bad here KC !! Little rain and wind for about half an hour,, then just a light sprinkle !! That's all and glad of it since I am trying to get the garden dry enough to plant !!

I have no clue GA,, I just thought that the lid being a pin was unusual !! Its very nicely enameled and the stones on top although imitation (pretty sure) look like tiger eye !!

That's good too !!  The line is what I meant,, it moves and follows you !! Some tiger eye does the same thing !!
