Hello everyone.
Went to two markets on Sunday and actually found something at each!!!
Gorgeous small ( 1 inch) butterfly wing 925 silver brooch, no marker's mark for $12.00.
And a small glass elephant (probably made yesterday!!)....just because he is cute.....for $2.00.
Hope you like them, thanks Judy
Thanks Val!!!
The brooch is Victorian. Very nice! I do love that little elephant, too...

Bonnie, I was thinking that it was a victorian hinge......but then was the 925 used in that time??? would possibly be american made do you think!! Certainly not British.... what do you think?
Lovely brooch!! Great price too.
The elephant is probably Chinese made but she's fantastic! Great work in her.
They're both quite beautiful and unique. Wonderful finds Judy!!
Thanks Karen, glad you like them.....I was just so excited to be able to buy something!!!! Doesn't happen very often, especially at markets!!
Thank you Scott for the lovely comment!!!
Both lovely finds!!!
The brooch is immaculate:-)
That 925 is continental, not English. But the style is identical!
Both very nice finds, I really love the elephant.
Thanks Pascale, I almost missed the brooch....it was upside down on the table and it was only the tiny size that mostly caught my eye!
Continental 925 silver in a victorian brooch setting!!! Sounds good to me and thanks Bonnie & Pascale for your help and Karen for help with the elephant too.
Aww, thank you Magician...It is a bit cute isn't it!!!
What a sweet looking person you are. Lots of love went into the making of your cute face!!! Bet you get lots of hugs--and give them too.
My mom got me a butterfly ring similar to what you have and I cherished it always...somehow when we moved to AZ. it got lost in the "shuffle". It was nice seeing one like it again!
Very beautiful brooch indeed.
Mystified why you would say "certainly not British......"?

Hello Gillian, thank you, I think it is beautiful too!!
I was actually referring to the "925" silver mark when I said "not British"......and Kyra has confirmed that this particular 925 mark is continental.
There sure are some really beautiful ones in those links aren't there!!!
