Happy Veteran's Day

Happy Veteran's Day to all those past, present and future who have and will have served our military.  To quote Mark Twain "In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."

To celebrate Veteran's Day, I trash-picked a beautiful metal milk jug, originally from "Supplee" dairy in Philadelphia.  This beautiful red "chippy" piece has an eagle with outstretched wings...nothing says American more than Philadelphia, veterans, eagles and milk :)

Thanks again to all who have served!

Happy 2014!

A little delayed but better late than never!  Wishing You and Yours a Happy 2014! 

Silver Fleur de Lis - Vintage Coro 4 Picture Locket Necklace

This is my newest creation!  It is a vintage silver-plated four picture locket. The signed Coro locket opens to hold four photos under metal frames and plastic lenses. The original photos are still present and can easily be removed and replaced with your treasures. The locket is hanging on a silver-plated rolo chain along with a sterling silver fleur de lis charm. There is a sterling silver springring closure as well as my signature "basilthecat" charm.

This necklace measures approximately 31 inches but can (easily) be shortened upon request. The locket hangs approximately 1.5 inches from the chain.
