Pretty baubles on an otherwise ugly day

It's yet another rainy, nasty day outside, the basement is taking on water and the schools are closed due to road flooding. So in the spirit of making lemonade out of lemons, let's look at this jar filled with goodies I bought last week. It's got all sorts of miscellaneous jewelry bits- I picked it up mostly because I wanted the jar but also because the sparklies inside were calling out to me. So when I got home I dumped it all out and started to sift through it. Certainly nothing spectacular but lots of cute things that remind me of playing dress up at my grandma's and a few stand out pieces that I found interesting.






















Linking up to Retro Tuesday over at The Crazy Suburban Mom amd Vintage Thingies Thurday at Coloradolady.

    You've got some very pretty pieces there. Those round clip-on earrings remind me of the ones the older ladies wore to church when I was a kid (guess you know what I was paying attention to, lol). The cameos are beautiful, and are those opal earrings? Lovely!

    Wow great find! I remember my Mom and Aunt wearing some of the earrings. And I have a necklace that is similar to the last pair you showed. Thanks for sharing.

    I love the pearl looking earrings, those are wonderful, and the vintage watch. I'd love to find a watch like that that worked, I wear it! Have a great VTT!

    What a great find! Lots of fun jewelry and a blue jar to boot. I have a collection of blue jars, I love the way they look in a sunny spot. I do say that my favorites of the jewelry were the ones that sparkled. Have a Happy Easter!
