60's Mod Plastic Beaded Choker Necklaces

I just love these beaded necklaces form the 60's! They are so classic and never go out of style.

Vintage Catholic Religious Medals

I've had fun collecting and hunting for treasures at sales and auctions. Like these vintage enamel religious medals and pendants of the Virgin Mary and Jesus and a Guardian Angel

I love the rich pastel colors!

Mannequin Makeover Jewelry Display

      

 I found her at a garage sale for $7.00. I wanted to keep the old glue on as it gave my display an "antiqued" effect!

She was pretty rough when I found her, it was obvious she was damaged by water as I could see old foam peeking out from under her black covering

Gradually, I used a knife to scape it off and I was surprised to see a nice plastic form underneath her torso

This mannequin makes the perfect display to take pictures of my vintage jewelry

Selling Vintage Jewelry

So far, its been a good year! I opened an Etsy store to sell my vintage jewelry. This beautiful enamel acorn pin sold right away

Rhinestone pins such as this one are hard to find in such pristine condition! I lucked out at an estate sale and couldn't wait to get it home to add to my collection. Its beautiful two-toned colors of blue marquis shaped stones show off the workmanship that went into this beautiful pin from the 1950's

The Rose Lady Loves Vintage Jewelry

After some soul-searching, I had to come up with more ways to fuel my never ending need to make money online.....my new obsession with vintage jewelry came to fruition on an Etsy Store and so far, 2011 and 2012 have been great! It was quite a process learning about all the different makers marks and styles of old necklaces, earrings and bracelets....what a challenge but sure beats working in a stuffy cubicle with no moving air or windows! Now, I can enjoy views like the one above as I work from my mobile office!

Mobile Home Office

Looks Like a good place to park the RV for the day, an empty parking space at a Florida fish marina



Beautiful view of the bay, perfect working conditions...sure beats a stuffy cubicle!

My desk looking out over the bay.... complete with MiFi internet and a cup of java!



Mobile home office...and home for the winter!



I've got my filing cabinet!
