I heard a new term this weekend...The pieces were all in glass display cases with a couple gentlemen pulling out the piece you wished to look at, I asked one of them if he could tell me what was in a black box that wasn't open...his response, 'Makeup Jewelry'. I was a bit baffled and he pulled it out for me to look, it had a butterfly brooch, a reverse carved pin and a pair of dress clips. I looked at him and asked 'What did you call it?' and he responded the same, the other gentleman corrected him and said 'Costume Jewelry'. He just shrugged his shoulders, all the same to him.
Found some new competition this weekend too, a 'new to me' couple were there bidding on the jewelry. The man told me they sold on eBay too :( Not sure if it's too bad for them or me, 'cause that location is always good for affordable jewelry pieces; and they'll likely encounter me again this season.
I also purchased a few more velvet dresser scarves in tie dyed watercolors, that I plan on incorporating in my photos; and a few vintage Valentines for pennies, picked up several more Valentines from the sale two weeks ago, so getting a small collection to list for next winter.
Took my two sons to this sale and I have to say they did fantastic! Of course there was a playground nearby and Schwan's ice cream for them at the concession. My eldest wanted me to buy him the coins and currency for sale. I'm not an expert, so watched the gold coin sell for $450 and over 100 $2 bills sell from $5-$9 each.
I'll just settle for the few pairs of earrings and other 'crafty' baubles from this sale!
Have a great day!
