While you'll often hear me saying that my job isn't really glamorous...well I have to admit, sometimes it is a bit!
Today I picked up a small treasure chest full of 50s and 60s costume jewellery from a local deceased estate, nearly 100 items in total.
Yes, quite a few 'oohs' and 'aahs' of delight could probably have been heard by my neighbours, such was my glee!
Below, a few quick 'Ta-Dah' snaps as I was pricing and cleaning it all, the yellow glass figural shells necklace *so* made me think of Helga, I can totally see her in this one!

| Limoges hand painted porcelain brooch |

| Mother of pearl brooch |

| No prizes for guessing who will like this beaten copper pendant |
So many beads that I don't know where we'll put them all, but they'll all be instore later this week.
Linking up with Lakota's Ta-Dah Tuesday.

Ohhh. Want to see more. I love the and painted porcelain brooch, oh my.
That copper pendant makes me weak at the knees, you can't possibly sell that beauty!!! What a haul! Those yellow beads are totally Helga-tastic! I bet the lady they once belonged to was such a glamour-puss in her time! xxx
Wow, what a haul - these look amazing. I think I like the pale pink necklace in the last photo the best though. Aren't you tempted to keep any? I know I would be!

so jealous, I dream of finding Vintage Motherloads - of anything - but jewellery would be very special. It's all gorgeous
Oh, how awesome!
Oooooooh Christmas! My littlest boy would have loved decorating himself in this lot as a toddler. He may be growing out of it. I haven't.
Oh I loved when we brought loads like this. It's so exciting. Look at all that gorgeous treasure. I hope there was a wee treat for you Miss Kitty.

I like the way you interpret your style through your clothes.
Amor,
How do you do it? not keeping all those gorgeous jewels to yourself.
