Mazer Ballerina
From
1947, this lovely ballerina is so graceful in her unusual pose. As
soon as I saw her, I knew I needed to expand my collection of ballerinas
beyond the Boucher pieces. (Ad)

Will Rogers
For me, this lucky
auction win epitomizes Will Rogers, America's favorite cowboy
philosopher. He's leaning on a fence post about to spin a yarn or drop
one of his famous quotes: "There is something about riding down the
street on a prancing horse that makes you feel like something, even when
you ain't a thing."

Handsome Lad
Portrait Pin
This is my first portrait
brooch—under glass…I raised five boys and think of every one of them each
time I look at this young boy and wonder about his life. I love the
ornamentation of tiny seed pearls and rhinestones surrounding the
portrait.

Distinguished
Blackamoor
I chose
this Coro pin because it is the only one like it I have ever seen. It is
very heavy and has the early 1940's script Coro Signature. The enamel is
original and it measures 2 inches tall. I like the distinguished look upon
his face.

Emotional Face
Pins
Don't know why I like
these face pins. The larger ones look so stern, as if in judgment about
something. The
earrings were shy and hid, so they aren't in the image.

Calvaire Ropers
 |
|
Here is my favorite
couple, a cowboy and cowgirl by Calvaire, complete with original tag. I
collect jewelry couples and these are my current favorites because of the
great detail and how unusual the pieces are.

~ The North Wind ~
This Sterling Silver
Fur Clip was created by Guglielmo Cini. I have named him the "North
Wind" because I grew up in Minnesota where the north winds would blow &
howl with the temperatures dipping to 40 below zero. As a little
girl drifting off to sleep at night, with ice shadows on the windows and
all the rattling, I dreamed about "The North Wind"!

Angel Cameo
This carved shell, unset
cameo spoke to me when I first saw it, especially since it faces the
opposite direction from most cameos. I submitted this detailed angel
in memory of those wonderful JC angels who are now brightly, sparkling,
angels in heaven.

Charlie - My Diminutive Chum
I could not believe my good fortune at
finding Charlie McCarthy, (Coro - 1937) the dummy of the radio, fur clip,
at a recent show in Honolulu. He has a special lever that when pressed
moves the lower lip and chin exactly like the original. More details can
be found in "Tribute to America" by Brunialti and Brunialti, pp. 66-67.
While only about 1¼" by ¾", he's adorable!

Juanita & Juan Dance
I love this couple, who
obviously have plenty of energy to dance every time I wear the earrings.
They are made by Ellen Jaffe-daughter of one of the owners of Robert
Originals, Inc. Ellen Designs for Robert Originals became
Ellen Designs in 1984. (for sale)

Rhinestone Cowboy
This fellow
is my own personal "Rhinestone Cowboy". I come from a long line of
cowboys and wannabe cowboys, so of course it is one of my favorites. I
haven't got up enough courage to wear it yet. It is rather large
measuring 3" by 1¾".

Oriental Faces Set
|
This is my absolute
favorite 'face' jewelry. For years I had the bracelet marked in
Cherri Simonds' book and always looked for it wherever I went. Then I
saw this set at auction and paid more than I've ever paid for a piece of
vintage jewelry. I felt like the earrings were a bonus!

Har-de-har?
Although only 1¾"
tall, this HAR colorful enameled brooch brings a great big smile to my
face every time I see his pudgy cheeks, pink nose and outrageous outfit.
The chuckles he gives me makes him one of my favorites.
