Three weeks ago, I checked the estate sale listings and found a couple that appeared to have a bit of bling, so hit the streets and look what I found !! :-D  A perfume bottle pendant that was marked $5 - I offered $3 and it is MINE ! Checked  ebay and found one for $44.99 BIN.    Did some checking around,  and found a couple at other sites. One stated 1950's and one 80's - anyone know?  One stated the cap was sterling and one said silver tone.  I have not polished mine yet, so don't know how that will come out, but there are no  markings and don't think it is SS.  What ever it is - I like it, and have some cobalt blue beads that will look so pretty with it.
 While looking for info. on mine I ran across an emerald green one like it also .

There was a large, antique, victorian pendant that I would loved to have bought, but had to pass - out of my price range. Found this broach and small pendant at the same sale. Broach needs a bit of repair, and the pin is off the back, so will use it in a necklace.
 Decided to keep going and went to a thrift store I had not been to in a while, as had left empty handed the last few trips.  Got lucky this trip and found a  few rhinestones to work with.......

 The necklace on the right is napier and in excellent condition, so  will leave as is.

Next sale was in an area I probably should not have been in. Not a lot of bling and what was there, was pricey - probably property of the person handling the sale. Worker asked me if I was looking for anything in particular and when I told her, she said she sold a bag full of bits and pieces earlier that morning - late again. Decided to leave the hood and get back to an area I was more familiar with and it was lunch time. Checked a couple of yard sales, but did not even stop as there was lots of children's toys, etc., and those usually don't have anything I am looking for.
Was out and about quiet a bit yesterday, stopped at one yard sale but nothing I was interested in buying.
Steadily building up my supplies and anxious to get busy creating again.

You know I'm drooling over all that bling. I'm sure your new creations will be gorgeous.
It was a gorgeous day here, but expecting some rain by mid week.
I would jump on those rhinestones! Great haul! Happy you found some stuff to get those juices flowing again. Glad you had a nice Easter, we did too.
