Dumb body blues Eye Candy Wednesday
Summary: evelyb30 shared challenges with a flare-up of their MS and other health issues, while also posting about items they sold to a dealer. They mentioned a silver piece with German hallmarks and a Blenko glass bowl. 1940fc offered support and compliments on the items shared. dream*peddler also expressed sympathy for the MS flare-up, sharing their own finds, including a 1903 journal, an 1892 edition of 'The Oregon Trail', and an antique painted box. southernmermaid8 joined in offering well wishes and admired the shared items.
My MS flared, which set off other junk, which set off the Sjogrens, and a medication they gave me made things worse. Still is, but improving a bit, but I can type today. Post something if you have something. Resize to smaller once the image(s) are uploaded, and of course nothing from a live sale.
These were a while ago. Sold them to a local dealer. 800 silver with full German hallmarks. Bought in a shuttered small thrift.
Small glass bowl, heavy. I'm pretty sure it's Blenko. Not jewelry, but it's sitting here and the color gets me every time.

路3 weeks agoI'm really sorry to hear your MS is acting up. I have a good friend who is also going through the trials and tribulations of this disease. People living with MS are truly strong. Hang in there and I'm praying you get some relief.
I'm not showing jewelry, either, but several years ago we voted to show anything interesting we found at yardsales, estate sales, thrift stores, etc.
Here are a few things I picked up last Saturday.
1903 journal of a couple who took the European grand tour. It's filled with lots of writing, post cards, hand drawings and a small handful of photographs.
1892 leather bound copy of The Oregon Trail by Francis Parkman and illustrated by Frederick Remington
For my box collection, an antique painted box. I also picked up a double wheel kaleidoscope and a nice piece of glass.
