Blogger apparently quits downloading after a certain amount so I had to wait on this part. Also in the antique store, the owner was clearing out jewelry and selling it for $1/bag. Most of it is junk costume jewelry but I go for unusual shapes and beads. I will take it apart and use it elsewhere.




It's just fun to look at and imagine what to do with each piece.




Here's a close-up of this one which is my favorite. See the gold filigree encasing the bigger beads? And there were some swirly beads and other different shaped beads all in one piece. I also liked the bars that holds the strands together. What a fascinating necklace!

I'm tempted to go back and get more.
