    dumb question...

    how much should it cost me to send a brooch from the USA to the UK via some way that won't take 6 weeks? I looked it up on the USPS site, but I don't know if I can make it work in an envelope or not. Many Thanks! leisa

    Another Great Vintage Jewelry Piece

    Okay - thanks y'all. I changed the title to: Vintage Brooch Pink & Black Hearts Flowers Rhinestones I made the reference to it possibly being German without a guarantee. And, I took out "faux pearls" & now it reads seed pearl beads, so there shouldn't be any doubt that they're FAUX...

    Another Great Vintage Jewelry Piece

    okay - I admit it. This is a shameless plug. I posted this on my Niello thread, but I really wanna show it off, so here 'tis! <A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5035899954&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMESE%3AIT&rd=1" target="new"><img...

    Fabulous BLACK & WHITE Tweed coat!

    In a way, from far away it looks like a tweed. But the close up pics don't. I'd leave it listed like it is, though. Mainly 'cause I have no clue what else to call it! LOL Cool Coat, queenie! You should do well with that. xoxoxo leisa

    What is JENHOE? The label says "Jenhoe Fabric by...."

    LOL Sometimes my typing has a mind of it's own. I CAN tell you that Blin Blin is sought out & is very high quality in general. So be sure to put it in your title. As to Stein & Gerson, that's likely the store that carried it. I'm not familar with the name, but maybe someone else here is...

    free postcards, business cards etc.

    vista print always has "free" biz cards. And, they do have the vp name on the back of them. I've used them for eons. All you actually pay is the S/H, which is nominal. When I designed my own cards with them, it was about $20 total for like 300 cards. May sound like a lot, but I got to use MY...

    PICTURES Vintage Jewelry? (What is Niello?)

    hmmmmm... cloisonne,huh? That never occurred to me, Chris. Maybe I should put a "kinda reminds me of cloisonne" line in the description... They ARE very fancy. I just love them. thanks for that inspiration, Chris. leisa

    Have you heard of Rockmount Ranch Wear? Dual tone snap Western shirt XL

    Rockmount has been around for awhile. They still make western wear. Their target market was the H-Bar-C crowd, but I "think" Rockmount sold their stuff for a bit less $. Also - I "Believe" your label is from the 80's. I'm also thinking 80's due to the 100% rayon fabric. If it were 60's or...

    PICTURES Vintage Jewelry? (What is Niello?)

    Not yet, Linda. I did learn that the Niello engraving is done only on the black pieces. So, when you see colored enamel pieces classified as Niello, that's wrong. My earrings are multi-colored. I really think they're 50's, and maybe even 40's, but the design is so traditional on all this...

    PICTURES Vintage Jewelry? (What is Niello?)

    I have a fabulous pair of vintage sterling & enamel Siam earrings I need to list. I searched eBay to get some pricing info, and I see the term Niello used a lot. I found this, & although there is no mention of Siam, I thought maybe someone else could use the info, too. "Niello is a...

    Vintage? or Newer?

    FWIW I'm leaning toward 90s, too. It reminds me of the stuff theysold in Pier 1 for awhile. Does Pier 1 even still have a clothing section? I think you can safely call it retro 70s / BOHO / Hippie. And I'd like to cast another vote for the jeans look! :D leisa

    LOL - Thanks, Lizzie. I'm still in shock over her being so cool in the car. Of course, she's also been under my bed her for about 90% of the time since we arrived. LOL She comes out & explores whenwe go out. And a little bit when Scott's at work. It'll take her about a month, if she sticks...

    UK Postage Help, Please

    Thanks, ladies! Hattie - here's a bit of trivia for you (& anyone else who's curious), There is the same named-town in Massachusetts & it is pronounced exactly the same. My Mom was born there. In fact, lots of Massachusetts "natives" say "Woostuh-Mass" like it's one word. leisa

    UK Postage Help, Please

    I don't see any UKers on this side, but maybe one of you know... Is the abbreviation "Worcs" short for Worciester? Worchester? Or what town/county/huh is that? TIA Leisa
