A lovely antique button pendant. This Mother of Pearl button with a brass escutcheon of a woman wearing a laurel wreath, sits upon a vintage Aurore borealis brooch. The Matte gold chain is a beautiful match for the brooch.

How awesome is this serpent wrapped heart lapel pin? Now a necklace. Unsure of its age, but the detail on the connector chain and on the pin protector clasp would indicate quite old. www.oldnouveau.etsy.com

Finished products. Every time I make a new one, I try to fix the mistakes from my earlier journals. But I always find a way to make a different mistake on the newer ones. There’s a big learning curve here for me.

Gorgeous antique cobalt blue glass buttons, clustered on a necklace of cut glass beads. These buttons have embedded wire shanks, which makes the dating a little easier, pre-World War I.

The Young Mother, a very old meerschaum carved devotional. These were typically religious in nature, this most likely created in the I800’s. Most had a convex glass covering but I particularly like this image of Mary without the glass. Being able to feel the curve of the features adds another layer of interest to this piece.
