Well.....I got sidetracked (whats new). I remembered a thrift store that starts marking certain things down on Thursdays and since I am working on replenishing my supply of bling to work with, I headed that way. Had not been there in a while as the last few times I have been there did not have much luck, and this trip was not any different. Told the clerk what I was looking for and she said "oh yes, all that old rhinestone stuff sells fast" - I am hearing that more and more these days. I did get 2 pairs of old clip ons from the 70' or 80's and not sure about the necklace, but thought I could use the pendant part.
Did get these 2 reproduction pieces, and even tho one is a very small frame, I am thinking I can convert it to a pendant - will see. The smallest heart is a pin.

So....What happened to my list of errands? The checks to pay the bills got mailed, went by a local spot and got their salad sampler to go, and never made it to the grocery or pharmacy .
The salad sampler - Delish, but was a salt overload, and days later I am still dealing with that.
On a side note - finally made it to the grocery this morning (3 days later). The rest of the list ? Well...........Lets just say, it is a beautiful day and I could use some vitamin D.
Have a great week !

Good for you! The rest can wait, Vitamin D is so much better.
I love all the old rhinestone bits and pieces from my mum - lovely sparkle!
Oh jewelry shopping is always more fun than grocery shopping,Glenda, lol. I like what you bought....Christine
I love your vintage pieces, you are so funny. I get side tracked too more times than I care to admit.. lol. Load up on the Vitamin D and take time for you. hugs ~lynne~
I agree Glenda. Who wants to grocery shop when you can thrift shop, and be out and about in this wonderful weather. Those two little hearts are so pretty, and yes, I think even the frame would make such a pretty pendant. You'll make your way through your list eventually. My theory that having fun is just as healthy as eating right! laurie
I am always getting side-tracked!! It's way more fun than doing the mundane things... LOL Glad you found some goodies. Hope you continue to find some sparkly pretties. :-) Sue
Good start to replenish your jewelry-making stash! Interesting there would be such a demand for old rhinestone jewelry. I love those old, pearl earrings.
I'm so happy to see that you found some gorgeous pieces to start creating again. It will take some time, but I believe the vintage jewelry angels are watching over you.
The grocery store inventory will always be the same, but you have to grab the stuff in the thrift stores right away.
Neat finds Glenda!
It must be like a scavenger hunt looking for treasures to make into fine jewlrey
Hugs,

Glad I am not the only one to get side tracked! Love all your finds ... especially the heart pin ... beautiful!
Hugs,

Oh Ms. G. we all get side tracked, I am afraid I do to easy. Thanks for stopping by, Richard from My Old Historic house.
Best form of side tracking in my opinion! I hear the same thing all the time -- the 'bling' sells fast these day! You did snag some great pieces!
I'm like you, I start out with a list and if I've been out too long, I just save the stuff at the bottom of the list for another day.
I too, have noticed that used jewelry prices are getting to be overpriced.
Hope you're having a good day,
M.L.
I've been sidetracked all week!!
I love those clip earrings..takes me back a few years.
Glenda I think you found some pretty nice stuff despite the closed and over priced stores *winks* Vit D is very important to good health! Lol! Vanna
