$35 USD SaleSALE Brilliant Green Rhinestone Flower Pendant
Jewelry:Vintage:Pendants:Green Rhinestones
MARKED DOWN MORE THAN 25% ! This pendant brought compliments every time I wore it. Waitresses and shoppers, would stop to say something. It is brilliant, no doubt about it. A real knock-out! The five prong-set green stones are designed in the shape of a flower with one large rhinestone in the center and 12 smaller one surrounding it. A beautiful design, but the piece is unsigned. The 14 ½" gold chain with a fold-over clasp is different too. Frankly, I wore it on a longer chain, but this is the ...

MARKED DOWN 50% ! A leading brewery in Baltimore, the Gunther Brewing Co. produced its “dry and beery” brew from 1933 to 1959. Gunther was a long-established brewery that pre-dated Prohibition. There is no date in this handy little hostess book, but photographs of hairstyles and apparel date it to the 1940's. Although some of the recipes do call for a measure of Gunther beer, most do not. Poor Man’s Blueberry Pudding sounds interesting. So does Marshmallow Sauce In addition there are recipes for ...

Collectibles:Furniture:Wagonseat
Purchased in the early 1960's at an antique shop in Kent County, MD, this old buckboard wagon seat was a definite conversation piece on the porch or breeze-way in all of our homes. Always sheltered by a roof or overhang and stored in the garage for the winter, it has been a lot of fun as well as practical. Nice seat for small children. A place to set a tray of snacks or prop up your feet with a good book. Most likely attached to a one-horse open farm wagon with a footrest in front of the seat. ...

Collectibles:Textiles:Wood Spools:Thread
It is true I hate to throw things away that I might possibly need someday. This collection of 41 spools is no exception.

Clothing:Womens:Handbags
MARKED DOWN MORE THAN 40%! Given to me by a very dear friend in Florida as a Christmas gift about 50 years ago, this very unusual pocketbook has long been treasured and too beautiful to have ever been used. Without telling its age or origin, an appraiser recently identified it as a Florida Indian made piece, probably Seminole, in the 1940s or early 1950s. You can see even the inside lining is stitched by hand. The elastic closure that loops over the button is stretched and dry with age and it is ...

$150 USD SaleSALE Elegant Gravic Cut Crystal Stemware - Set of Ten Wine Glasses
Glass:By Type:Fine Crystal:Etched
Absolutely exquisite etching of daisy-like flowers surrounds these very fine pieces of crystal stemware. Swirls of leaves dance amid the flowers and even on the bottom of each foot.

$30 USD SaleSALE 1930's Beautifully Faceted Crystal Necklace
