This really was a nice buy. So many old vintage pins. Several pearl pieces. I wonder how you can tell if the pearls are real? Because some of them are pretty old. There were also some nice bracelets. The pieces that were broke I put aside for crafts and for the kids to play with. I take all the beads off the ones I can and put them in a big jar of- well beads.
That little tea pot and tray cleaned up so nice I really like them, not sure why, just do. The little doll found a place to live. I like the tiny porcelain dolls. Would be great to find some really old ones, tiny that is.Well someone has had to much coffee, won't say who.

Clean the pearls first!!! Then I drag them across my teeth. If they are smooth like glass or plastic they probably are. Pearls feel a little gritty. You can also tell by looking at the holes...if the knots arent in the way. Good treasure find. We cant find anything like that around here anymore. |
