Bettbett Beads

 I love these vintage pieces. Mostly two and three strand pearl and glass beads...1960s early 70s.



I think they remind me of very well dressed women from my childhood....there was a woman that lived across the road ,she was glam We as children called her Bettbett , and all those 60s TV stars .Loucille Ball ,Mary Tylermore,The It Girl Marlo Thomas and Mister Eds Neighbour (forgot her name but she was glam).Anyways all very reasonably priced.....Under $20..

These are my Favorites! Antique Sweetheart Brooches..

 Antique mustard Spoon ...made in to a brooch ..hallmarked 1912
The Horse Shoe is a very Strong symbol in all these styles...I think it was a symbol of Good Luck ...Most of the hallmarks on these pieces are during  WW1...



 My very very fave....
