I meant to do this yesterday but I’m a bit under the weather… So, here’s Potpourri Friday on Saturday morning…
The Mom said she was sending me a box this week. She'd only tell me that she wished she could be there to see my face when I opened it.
Here's a glimpse:
She loves jewelry and bought a lot of scrimshaw in the 70's:
She also bought a lot of flashy, colorful cocktail rings:
Here's some sentimental faves--my grandmother loved Lady Slippers
We both love Amethyst:
And this is a set my father sent to my mother from Japan when he was on leave from Korea.
So, it was a surprise, to say the least, when I opened the box. There are a lot of things I'm keeping, but the rings are mostly too big and she said I could sell them, so I've gotta fire up the Ebay account sometime soon. Some of the scrimshaw will go on Etsy, since I know that's in the vintage range.
So, thanks Ma! For both some really cool jewelry and maybe a little cash as well!
Do What You Love!
