Annual winter antique market this Sunday!

[KristinTech]

My daughter and I go to this every year, and there are four favorite vendors that have all signed up again this year. We’re excited! I’ve gotten sweet deals on antique/vintage jewelry before, including an old old!) art carved white gold band beforenit was art carved, a Belais band (complete with wedding engraving!), and nice gold ball earrings that I wear when traveling. We will see what they have this time around! This market is where my daughter got to witness price negotiations for the first time. I’ll be sure to post some of the treasures!

Nothing for Mom, but the girls came home with gold filled lockets!

This one is civil war era, based on the locking mechanism:



This one is art nouveau with a couple of little stones/seed pearls missing



Inside the civil war era one with descendants. What decade are these clothing types typical of?


Inside the art nouveau one—this one opens top-down instead of side by side.

Both daughters went this time! In the past, my youngest (now 10) wasn’t crazy about the Market because of my constantly telling her not to pick things up. She wanted to tag along today!

Love the little shell insert !

(a month old mollusc might be that size & they do look like little mechanical jewels ... The locket gives me ideas for how to wear the real thing)

The people in the locket look 1940s.
Check out the wide lapel on the guys jacket, and the woman's hairstyle.
