Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry

Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry

6 Link Bracelet

Just listed!  Blue Morpho Butterfly Wing Jewelry.  Made using a reverse painting process, most often beach scenes, are mounted on bits of real Blue Morpho Butterfly wings.  The jewelry from my collection date from the 1920s or so to the 50s.  

                                            

Large Sterling Ring

As I understand it, these pieces were mostly offered as souvenirs in South America--places like Rio in Brazil.  I have always been attracted to iridescence, and just couldn't resist collecting this type of jewelry for a while. The flash of blue is stunning.  The beach scenes romantic.

Pin

I like the unique detail of this jewelry; since the reverse paint process is done by hand, each piece is different.

Necklace

Can't you just see Lucille Ball decked out in this stuff?

Bracelet

Blue Morpho Butterfly wing jewelry is still being made today!  There are many examples of contemporary art jewelry available on the net.

Thanks for checking in with OLA!  Our Sellers welcome YOU!

Goebel Hummel Figurines

Goebel Hummel Figurines

Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel signed her noted agreement with the porcelain firm, W. Goebel Porzellanfahrik,on January 9th, 1935, which gave the porcelain company permission to turn Sister Hummel’s drawings into M. I. Hummel figurines. 

Hummel Figurine # 015/0 Hear Ye Hear Ye

During World War II, the M. I. Hummel figurine production was restricted. Once the war ended, the M. I. Hummel figurines again appeared in the shops throughout Germany.

Many of what I call the Traditional Hummel Figurine is based on Bavarian culture.  Think of Heidi.

Surprise:  Traditional Hummel

I have the pleasure of offering several hundred Goebel Hummel figurines as part of a friend's estate.

Most are in excellent condition, many have original boxes.  Below is a group of Occupational Hummel Figurines.

There will be more about Goebel Hummel figurines in future blogs.

Thanks for your interest, Chloe

Battle For Your Dream Mustang

Meet Sally.
She's my entry into Ford's latest contest...
Battle For Your Dream Mustang,
where you can build and customize your dream car, maintain a garage, share your Mustang and challenge your friends,  and even enter one of your cars into a contest to win the very Mustang you created!

My daughter and I have been having a lot of fun with this! Wow, I think she's created over a dozen cars now. (She's a typical college student!) Me? I've got 2... so far. See my garage here. That link will also allow you to sign up for a garage of your own. I'll warn you, though, it's addicting!

Interestingly enough, when I did a search at OLA for the word mustang, I got 35 pages of results! From parts, to cars, to memorabilia, there are plenty of auctions to browse. If you're a Mustang fan, (and, come on, who isn't?), you will not want to miss out on the steals and deals.

Here is just a peek:

From Goldi,
finally, a Mustang that I can afford!

If you're a collector of all things Mustang,
you'd better see this sign from Auction5!

Love to rebuild cars?
RoundPrairie2 has this gas cap from the 1960's!

You'll find plenty of parts!
This tail lamp is from BlueRacer!

No patience? Just want that Mustang now?
This beauty is from QuickSilverAutos!        

OLA Sellers hope to see you soon!
