Nostalgic November Birthdays

November is right around the corner and is a month of filled 

with Nostalgia from years past.  It is a time of the year when 

we reflect on the many things we are thankful for such as family, 

good friends, a home that warms the heart and soul.  November's 

birthstone is Topaz and this nostalgic vintage Cameo Topaz brooch 

is a great way to show much much their birthday means to you. 

This vintage brooch pin was made by the Delizza & Elster (D & E) 

Jewelry company in the 1970s and this companies jewelry has become to 

be known by "Juliana" jewelry by collectors. The brooch or pin 

features a large oval amber glass stone with an applied two tone, 

blue & pink glass cameo bust. Along the outside of the glass cameo 

are Topaz color glass rhinestones with navette shaped Amber glass rhinestones as accents. The rhinestones and glass cameo are set 

into a nice pin set gold-tone setting.

The cameo measures 2 and 1/8 inches tall and 1 and 5/8 inches wide. 

The back of the brooch features a working and locking "c" clasp closure 

with a nice and straight pin back mechanism. There is also a hook so 

that the brooch can be added to a necklace and worn as a pendant.

The overall condition of the brooch is Excellent vintage condition. There 

are no missing, loose or darkened stones.  This would make an excellent addtion to any Juliana collection. You can find this brooch and many other items at Jesse's Vintage on Etsy

Southwestern designs and makes your day so delightful!

over 2200 degrees.  They are perfect for hot or cold beverages,
dishwasher and microwave safe. 

 The Saquaro Catcus Design is finished in brown, tan and black accents. The top section features a classic symbol of our southwest on both sides, a beautifully defined saguaro cactus standing in the sun. The lower section is filled with spirals, the symbol of life and traveling through time. This pretty mug has a tan interior that comes up to the darker brown rkm and spills over onto the front. Approx. 6 inches tall by 3 inches wide and comfortably holds 20oz. You`ll find these mugs very comfortable to hold.
 All mugs are signed and dated. 

Len at desertNOVA Mugs worked on the potters wheel for over 30 years and returned to the basics of hand building.  They discovered that the irregularities produced by hand building contributed greatly to the uniqueness of each piece. It`s through color, texture and shape that they are able to satisfy their need for artistic expression.

Black Friday Memories

Remember last year.......

........When you got out your camping gear just to go shopping?  

........When you had to sleep against the brick wall of your favorite store just to get that item you desperately needed for that special someone for Christmas!  

........Remember finding out that it didn't matter that you were the first person in line, because it was going to be a lottery drawing.  Uggghhhh!  

........Remember standing in line for hours wasting half your day all to find out that the item you wanted was no longer available because the limited quantity meant they only had five for thousands to fight over.

.......Yes folks, we're pretty sure many of you know exactly what we are talking about!  It is the highly anticipated, everyone must do it, Black Friday Event!  

...... Well this year, grab your favorite beverage and some holiday cookies and kick back in the comfort of your own home in front of your computer, ipad, laptop, tablet or android phone, and shop online all weekend without the headaches and get your items shipped right to your front door! 
 

White Christmas

It's beginning to look alot like ...... Christmas!  

The weather is starting to get a little cooler now!  Ready to get out my favorite soft and cuddly throw and curl up next to a warm fire with my hot spiced cider!  Yum! Yum!  Gotta love this time of year!  Do you have a favorite blanket you curl up next to the fire with?  

Chestnuts roasting on an open fire!
