Les Bijoux!

It's been said by more than a few of my friends and family members that I am somewhat of a crow as  I am easily distracted by all things shiny. So I was absolutely delighted to find this slightly dog eared 1980's  French copy of

Les Bijoux

De L'art Deco

Aux Annees 40

By Melissa Gabardi

It is a fabulous resource for jewelry from the 20's 30's and 40's. 

It's in French so it's a bit of a challenging read for me, I basically just pour over the images anyway which are fabulous with rich colours and good documentation.
I may have a tough time parting with this one.

New Costume Pieces

Oooh I've been finding some wonderful vintage jewelry lately,  a fabulous vintage Selro Bracelet with tribal faces and faux ivory swords

a beautiful french hand painted porcelain paneled bracelet, 

Three vintage doublestrand necklaces, the first two are plastic 

and the third is glass

and this oh so cute Canadian souvenir brooch 

and finally this tribal style chunky pendant made of horn and wood

You'll find them all (except the Selro which sold in the blink of an eye) in my shop at the flea market, stall 69.

and .....
