Is there a name for this kind of brooch? (lime green front, white back)

I feel like I've seen this before so I was wondering if there was a name for this. The front is lime green and the back is white. Looks painted but not sure with what kind of paint? Thank you in advance!

Am I paranoid or does my postlady dislike me?

I had a small padded envelope clipped to where we usually clip letters for outgoing mail on our mailbox. The mail hadn't come yet, I checked with my family and the mail box was empty. I clipped the envelope to the mailbox and later my mother tells me...

Carved glass??

Please help ID these strange articulated metal dangle flower earrings & marks

I think these are the strangest earrings I've came across! They're made of metal (didn't stick to my rare earth magnet), weigh .2 oz each, and spin! The two bottom flowers are the ones that spin. I can't make out the mark on the back. I've researched...
