Ok so I boobed! Whilst driving home from an estate sale I must have hit a bump in the road a little too hard (& couldn't have wrapped these beautiful duos very well) so they ended up with tiny hairlines on the Shelleys & a tiny chip on the rim of the Belleek UGH! But... as I'm a professional restorer I have managed to save them! The hairlines have been stabilized with museum grade glue & the Belleek chip has had a tiny colour fill - which is very good if I may say so myself & you can hardly see it :) So these are cabinet duos / display pieces / fillers & priced accordingly. $22 each! Message me if interested before Cora-Lee gets her hands on them & lists them in the Etsy shop!

OODLES of vintage horseshoes in the Boutique! $4 each. What will you make with them...?! Or maybe just gift one to wish someone good luck

WILL BE ADDING MORE ITEMS OVER THE NEXT FEW WEEKS, as I process this bulk purchase. Individually priced. Stones are tested on my Presidium Gem Tester. $1 from each sale will be donated to help an animal in need.

Soooo I came across this weird & wonderful necklace, made of tiny tiny beads... what does it remind you of??! Yup various strains of Covid 19! Its 20" total length & the fastener is a knot of beads that goes through a beaded loop. Utterly fantastic! I'm going to sell this for a dog I am helping in Dominican Republic, now called Jack, who has been badly hurt with a machete & desperately needs vet treatment. (see my timeline for more info). I'm asking $30 but if you'd like to pay more - thats fine! If you dont like it (how dare you!) but want to help my poor dog you can make a donation towards his vet treatment etransfer [email protected] which is auto deposit.
