Post-Eclipse Eye Candy Wednesday
You can take your eclipse glasses off now. Post some eye candy if you've got it. Keep the images smaller to speed loading, and as usual nothing from a live auction.
The purse just popped up this weekend - 1920s Whiting & Davis. Not going anywhere for a while. The opal cross and the black Hawiian coral dolphins sold long ago.

·2 years agoThanks everyone. This is the last big name item from the bags. I tested the stones from the star brooch. They were glass but I plan on keeping it. It is just unusual enough for me. Went back to the estate sale and found some other non-jewelry deals so it was a good time for me.

The quality of these old GF pieces is really something and wow, have they stood the test of time!
Are you lookin' at me?
Cameo duo brooch.
Coral necklace I got at the Sally Ann just before Easter.
I hardly ever get items there anymore because you know "things have changed..." blah blah
It has a nice clasp.

·2 years agoI love bouncing those mesh purses in my hand. They have a great feeling. Very pretty design, too. Nice weekend score, ev!
You're right about the gold filled pieces, arlene. They do maintain their beauty over time. The cameo brooch is doubly good 😄!
Here are some dearly departed.
Carved and laminated Lucite red setter (I once had a dog that was a setter and a pointer. An upsetter and a disappointer. Yuck, yuck!)

·2 years agoThese are staying with me out of the bag. Most are unsigned but beautiful. Still have some that I have to look into so there will be at least one more post.

·2 years agoI haven't tested them. Never occurred to me. I will check it tomorrow. Would be interesting if they are. The Barrera is heading to a new home tomorrow. Sold fast.
