Kelli at There Is No Place Like Home is hosting a "Show and Tell Friday". If you would like to join the fun, please visit Kelli's blog and leave a link to your post.
My Show and Tell for this Friday are these pieces of vintage costume jewelry:
The two necklaces were given to my father years ago by an elderly neighbor of his for repairing her furnace. He really didn't want to take them, but she insisted. He then gave them to me. I really don't know much about them, but I think they may be from the 1920's.
The enameled pin in the middle of the necklace with the blue stones is something that I picked up at an antique flea market in London many years ago. I confess that I really don't know much about that piece either, but I liked it because of all the colors. And it looks like my flash landed dead center in it! One day I'm going to learn to take better pictures!
Thank you for looking at my Show and and thank you Kelli for hosting.
P.S.-Have a great vacation!
