This brooch was bought from the same shop where I got my big silver mystery ring with the funny marks. The reverse is gold plated but it doesn't show up too good in the photo. David Andersen jewelry is highly collectible.
Thanks for coming by!

Karen and Bonnie... good shot :-))
Nice buy and very good choice, as you probably know David Anderson is extremely collectable.
The Owl and the Pussycat
The Owl and the Pussycat went to sea
In a beautiful pea green boat
They took some honey, and plenty of money
Wrapped up in a five pound note
The Owl looked up to the stars above
And sang to a small guitar
O lovely Pussy, O Pussy my love
What a beautiful Pussy you are
You are, you are!
What a beautiful Pussy you are
Pussy said to the Owl, You elegant fowl
How charmingly sweet you sing
O let us be married, too long we have tarried
But what shall we do for a ring?
They sailed away, for a year and a day
To the land where the Bong-tree grows
And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood
With a ring at the end of his nose
His nose, his nose
With a ring at the end of his nose
Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling
Your ring? Said the Piggy, I will.
So they took it away, and were married next day
By the Turkey who lives on the hill
They dined on mince, and slices of quince
Which they ate with a runcible spoon
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon
The moon, the moon
(a fork curved like a spoon, with three broad prongs, one of which has a sharpened outer edge for cutting.)
Did you know that owls can use their big round faces like radio receivers, and can pick up signals that help them find their prey during the night.
Owls are beautiful in flight, and beautiful in David Anderson silver. How big is the brooch - I'm having difficulty 'cos very few peeps leave the dimensions, and photos are more often than now blown up to be larger than they are. Just a pet peeve of mine.
