I am sorting through jars of vintage beads and jewelry from last weekend's estate sale.
I wanted to post some of the interesting finds in case anyone knows their origin, etc

Thank you,
Barbara

thanks - its one of my favourite pictures from my recent book, page 51. some of them are well-carved and probably early 1900s...
