$12 USDSterling silver bangle bracelet
Jewelry:Bracelets
This is a lovely sterling silver bangle bracelet. It has decorative x's and crosses engraved on it. Its diameter is larger than other bangle bracelets; it is 2 & 7/8"! Most bracelets are about 7 & 1/2" around. This one is 9"! The word "Sterling" is either engraved or pressed into the inside of the bracelet. If you have large hands, this is the bracelet for you! If you have smaller hands, this bracelet would have to be worn on your arm up higher, or it would slip right off.
$12 USDThree vintage silver plate napkin rings
Home Decor:Metalware:Silverplate
These are 3 vintage silver plate napkin rings. There are no hallmarks that I could find. The little one says Baby on it. The midsized one has someone's name that I couldn't decipher. The largest one has a place for a name but no name on it. Some of the silver has worn off the largest one along the edge. I never really understood the need for napkin rings until my father explained to me that when he was a boy, they didn't have paper napkins. They only had cloth napkins, and they would use the ...

$12 USDElegant light yellow embroidered tablecloth & matching napkins
Home Decor:Dining
This is a lovely light yellow embroidered table cloth and matching set of 4 napkins. The tablecloth is approximately 48" by 50", and the napkins are approximately 10 & 1/2" by 11 & 1/2". They are made out of a fine cotton. One of the napkins has a light blue mark on it that looks like it was made by a highlighter pen. The mark is on the side of the napkin. I don't know if it would wash out or not. I have tried to show it in one of the pictures.
$18 USDMulti-strand beaded necklace
Jewelry:Necklaces
This is a predominantly grey-silvertone beaded multi-strand necklace. I don't know what the material is that comprises the grey/silvertone rondelles, but there are what look like glass beads for splashes of color interspersed among the grey/silvertone beads/rondelles which makes for a lovely necklace. The necklace is large enough that you can slip it over your head without unfastening it to put it on. When the necklace is unfastened its length is 25". When it is fastened it is about 12 to 12 &1/2".

This is an exquisite hair receiver! I've never seen one like this. The lid is decorated with a 6 pointed star shaped by pink blooms, green garlands, and green foliage. The design is complemented on the base with similar pink blooms and green garlands. The edges of the lid are trimmed in gold as is the top edge of the base. Some of the gold has worn off. It measures about 5" in diameter and is about 2 & 3/4" tall. It is a larg-ish size as hair receivers go. The porcelain is scalloped at the top ...
$46 USDBlue vintage country dresser set
Home Decor:Ceramics:Vanity
This is what looks like an old English country dresser set. It has two powder jars, a candle holder and a hair receiver. The candle holder has places where the paint has rubbed off from wear. The hair receiver is larger than the powder jars. The whole set just looks so English country. There is a hairline crack on the rim of the candleholder. The rest of the set has no chips or cracks. It just looks worn like old county pieces do. It is so charming because it is so informal.
$12 USDSummer plaid tablecloth 60" x 84"
Home Decor:Dining
This is a lovely summer cotton tablecloth. It is an oblong or rectangular 60" by 84". The fabric is what I would call a heavy cotton, perfect for a picnic. The colors in it are pink, blue, yellow, green, and white with the green somewhat predominating. It is still in its packaging. The package in the picture says 60" by 118", but I also have one that is 60" x 84" and says 60 x 84 on its packaging. I just used the picture of the other one since they are the same except for the dimensions.

Home Decor:Ceramics
This is a rather elegant looking hair receiver. It has pink florals with raised white ribbons on a pale blue and pale pink or mauve and ivory background with gold trim. The maker's marks contain the initials PM with Bavaria underneath. Kovels' Guide indicates that Bavaria alone without Germany dates the piece as pre-1871 since Bavaria, Germany was used 1871 and later. The hair receiver measures approx. 4" in diameter and 2&3/4" high. The lid has a hairline crack which is very difficult to see. ...
$120 USDAntique Chinese brass pot for ironing
Home Decor:Metalware:Brass
This is an antique Chinese brass pot for ironing. It has decorative moriage around the handle. It is a domestic scene of a family sitting around a table. On the end of the handle is a flower. The handle must have gotten very hot because on one side of it at the very end is what looks like a spot that melted slightly. The handle has a little leg to rest on, and the exterior of the pot has a floral covered vine that wraps around it. China is impressed on the exterior bottom of the pot. Its ...

$45 USD SaleSALE Madame Alexander doll leaf fairy

This is a sweet little Madame Alexander doll titled Leaf Fairy. She is an 8" doll that was released around 2001. She's heralding autumn in a falling leaves ensemble trimmed in gold.

$55 USDMadame Alexander doll mad hatter
Home Decor:Dolls
This is an 8 inch Madame Alexander doll titled Mad Hatter. He was issued in 2004 I believe. I love his attire! There is a newer version of the Mad Hatter by M. Alexander, but I don't think it has quite as much pizzazz as this one. The black and white herringbone trousers contrasted with the red check vest and red-with-black-polka-dots bow tie just seem to create the look of a wild but dashing mad hatter. His hat, teapot, cups and saucers are stowed in plastic wrappings at the side of the box.
$100 USD Offers ConsideredLight Green Carved Snuff Bottle
Home Decor:Snuff Bottles
This is a lovely light green carved-stone snuff bottle. It measures approximately 3 & 1/4" high by 2" wide and about 1/2" deep. It is some sort of hard stone, either jade or quartz. It seems almost too light of a green to be jade but perhaps it is. It is somewhat translucent when held up to a light. It has a carved design on the front and back. On the sides, it is smooth. The top doesn't have a spoon attached like most snuff bottles, so perhaps it fell off, or maybe it never had one. It looks ...

This is a beautiful new Mercer & Madison tan leather handbag. It measures approximately 13" wide(at the top where it is the widest) by 11" high by 5 & 1/2" deep. The handle drop is approximately 9 inches. Aside from the color of this bag, I love the fact that you can put it over your shoulder with one hand, and it still fits neatly under your arm.
