Green Glass Foil Back Clip-on Earrings

♦ Absolutely stunning! Great as is or they are each the perfect size to make into a gorgeous ring!

Approximately 3/4" in diameter.

Excellent condition. Gold-tone clip-on earrings each with 6 (3 large, 3 small) round cut, foil back, green glass "stones". Unmarked.These are so beautiful that I took them to my local jeweler just to make sure they weren't real precious stones! He thinks they may be circa 1920 but I image they may be younger...so my guess is circa 1920-1950.

♦ How I came upon this item:

I recovered these absolutely stunning earrings during a search and rescue mission of second-hand shops in Rhode Island.

Brown Thrasher Print

♦ A must for bird lovers!

8 1/2x6 1/2"

Shipped in protective sleeve.

This is the 1960 edition of a picture and text orginially from the 1934 book BIRD PORTRAITS IN COLOR by Thomas S. Roberts, M.D.

Picture in on front side, text on reverse.

Very good condition and perfect for framing.

♦ How I came upon this item:

In the spring and early summer I work as an avian field technician. A fancy title meaning I find bird nests for researchers. Thus, I am viewed by friends and family as "the birder." My mother came upon this print either through a friend or by antiquing and gave it to me.

Cow Creamer Pitcher

♦ This moooooving creamer is top shelf material!

Approximately 7 1/2" tall, 4" wide and 5" deep (from bell to handle)

Great condition with one small hole in dark blue headpiece (as shown in last photo). Dark and light blue. Holds 2 1/2 cups liquid. Unmarked. I'm pretty sure this is the same exact pitcher my family had in the early 70s.

♦ How I came upon this item:

I rescued this divine bovine from my local group antique dealer.

Brass Owl Trio on Branch

♦ This fascinating sculpture is a real hoot! Great to liven up a little corner of the room. Heavy enough for a paperweight and possibly a door stop if door is light.

Approximately 7 1/4" long, 3 1/2" high and 1" deep

Great condition. Heavy...my guess it around two pounds. It's over a pound according to my kitchen scale yet doesn't register on my bathroom scale.

Sticker on bottom reads:

Quality Sun Products
Made in Taiwan

♦ How I came upon this item:

I rescued these great owls from my local second-hand shop.
