A Very Neat Resource Book Costume Jewelry 202

A couple of days ago

my sister Maresa called me and said

"Come outside!! I have something for you"

We live pretty close-just a mile apart..

So drive by drop offs are frequent with us....

Look what she dropped off

Costume Jewelry 202

Yippy!!!

We both..Lol.  In fact my whole immediate family has a pretty

large collection of costume jewelry.

Mom and her sisters loved their jewelry during the 50's-70's

Then they had daughters.

And we raided their jewelry boxes.

Dad was always picking up special pieces from garages sales

and estate sales.

And I can never seem to stop myself...I always seem to

find something to add to my collection.

This book is amazing...A huge resource.

Pictures are beautiful...sketches of pieces excellent..color great.

The price guide part is helpful but not necessary

most of us who collect know their value

and it is often something more

that the money value to us.

I only have it for a few days then it has to go back to

my sister...I know it is one I am going

to go buy for myself very soon.

Thanks for showing it to me Sis!
