Some of my latest finds. A couple will take up residence with the costume gallery. The rest will go into my store. I’ll have fun figuring out how I want to enhance or embellish with crochet. Though I pick up vintage pieces with all this in mind, I also usually bring everything to shows and will put into my store when I haven’t gotten to them yet. I can only work so fast with my two hands, so I’ll toss a coin and see what gets attention first. If it disappears from my listings, it probably means I’m working with it. Unless it’s show-time. Everything in my on-line store goes with me to shows.

The curl is interesting. My daughter has another stamped with the brand name "Monet." This one looks older and has no stamp at all. I think I want to have an expert look at it.

The grape pearl cluster is a neat find! Also pictured is a lone earring that lost its partner. It shall become a pendant for one of my crochet chokers.

The cross is definitely going into the costume collection at home. Love the faded ribbon and tarnished brass. Haven't decided on the olive suede thong necklace.
