BEJEWELED EGGS

I've always had some fascination with the Faberge' egg. They are such beautiful works of art. 

I really want to make my Christmas twig tree into a Valentines and egg tree.

That being said ...off to the craft room where most of my hoarding exists to find all those little scraps, vintage jewelry etc.


 I wish I had some plastic eggs for this project, but I didn't . I blew a half dozen out by putting a hole in each end with a pin.

 

THRIFT STORE WHORE

VINTAGE ROYAL CHINA MEMORY LANE GLASSES

Here are four Memory Lane pattern glasses.These are clear glass, with applied pink red and white decoration. On these glasses, they feature a scene of a woman waiting at the farm gate on opposite sides of the glass, with the distinctive acorn design framing the designs. Truly adorable works of art. 

Each glass is approx. 4-3/4" tall, and each has an approx. 2-1/2" top diameter. All four glasses are in very good condition, with no chips or damage.I picked these beauties up thrifting today.The value for 4 is about 24.00, paid 8.00. I can't wait to have some pink lemonade in the summer!

VINTAGE LEOPARD AND VELVET JACKET

Today while waiting for my two pom pom's to get spa day, I decided to go thrift shopping. I am sooo glad I did. This leopard collar zipper velvet vintage coat (with all the tags still attached) was only 10 bucks!!It still said $129.99 on the tags. Holy wow o wow.
I would say the style is a zippered swing coat. It is made of 100% cotton velvet with a acetate lining  in the U.S.A.  

  Jean Nicole  was popular back in the early 80′s. They were a knock-off store…if you wanted designer jeans and your mom wouldn’t pay the $30 then you found the knock-off at Jean Nicole for $15. Talk about a blast from the past! These stores went bankrupt and liquidated in 1994. They operated 1,700 stores under the Petrie’s, Stuarts, Marianne, Hartfield’s, Jean Nicole, G&G, Rave, Winkleman’s and M.J. Carroll names.

So I'm guessing the coat is about 20 years old, and is just like new. Yeah for me!
