Silver Sunday...wow what luck!!!

Yes it's Sunday and it dawned on me that I had in my archive of saved unpublished posts some images of silver trinkets I had bought in Brimfield and Madison Bouckville this Fall. How lucky was that?

So here goes.... hopefully I won't accidentally delete anything while writing this. Don't you hate when that happens.
I'm suppose to be working on orders and all I've done so far is email and check blogs.....I'll have nothing to plant or sell at this rate. Inventory is getting slim and I beginning to panic:))) like I do every year!!!

Anyways this is much more fun!!!

I'm not usually much of a buyer of jewelry at fleamarkets....but my friend Kathleen is and as she was eyeing up their wares I found myself doing the same. She had a specific thing she was looking for, while I had no idea what I wanted or if I even wanted it.

We then found a dealer that specialized in silver which you may know by now I love anything silver. I know nothing about jewelry which is probably why I stay away from it. Interestingly my grandparents were jewelers back in France and my father was an horloger(a watch maker) by trade. He did many other things after that in his long life but he still always loved tinkering with broken watches. As he got older it was harder for him to work on small pieces so it was mostly larger clocks he tackled. Now a days there are very few people that do that work ....a true lost art!

What I liked about this pieces was that they were lockets and though I had no idea at the time what I would put in them I liked the thought that I would store something precious in them.
Nothing of great value but something that meant something to me.
The dice were bought in Madison Bouckeville and were not at all expensive by any stretch but will always remind me of our trip to Laura's house in the Adirondacks with Paula and Deanna.

We all had so much fun shopping, preparing dinner together and sitting around at night reliving all that we saw and bought...... and yes even passed on.
A great girls weekend that I'll treasure forever.

The Angel with the heart locket I haven't yet put a picture in.......

I wonder who I'll put in there????

The rhinestone hat pins were the last thing I bought that day at Brimfield and if I remember right they were pretty reasonable and the little dish was a dollar.

Can't forget the silver mirror for $4 at Madison Bouckeville....Deanna would remember that one....hey and it had a mirror too!

Simple things just make me happy.

If you too would like to be happy go over to Gypsy Fish and check out the other participants of Silver Sunday.

Thank you also for all your good wishes for my computer......still working on getting one!!!

Except for their hours ......I'm really enjoying the public library!!!!

haha!!!
