McCoy Lost Glaze Teapot and Saucer

So today after stopping off at the Varage sale (neighborhood on-line garage sale) meet, (picking up some vintage McCall's magazines), I went to a nearby thrift store.  I found a number of items but the one that I chose to post today is a McCoy teapot & saucer.  At first I did not notice the mark on the bottom.  But after further checking I did find the McCoy mark, I think it was more difficult to see due to the design.  I had never seen a glaze design like this, to me it is not typical McCoy.  After more research I found this is called the Lost Glaze. What a beauty!!
I found this description on another listing:
"This teapot was produced by McCoy shortly before the plant burned down in the late 1940's. It had a limited production and was not produced again or reproduced. That is why it is known as the Lost Glaze line."

Kafin New York Necklace

On Thursday I went to the Golden Nugget flea market and to Lambertville, NJ with my mom and brother.  We shopped the flea market and the lovely shops in town.  We had a great day!
At the flea market I did make a few purchases.  My mom laughs at me because I always find something!
I found a Kafin New York necklace.  It has multi-strand gold tone chains of different styles holding a lovely disc pendant.  The pendant is filigree with gem stones.  Just love it!

Vintage Windows Repurposed

I have quite a few old windows and look for ways to repurpose them.
On this first one, I took vintage wrapping paper and decoupaged pieces on each pane.

I took this window that is worn and dingy and added a lovely lacy doily that I stiffened and attached like a valance.  I love the look!

More to come!!

Brass dog bottle opener

I found this neat bottle opener at a thrift store in Wildwood, NJ.  It's an unusual brass standing dog opener.  Even on vacation I search for thrift stores and yard sales!  Can't help myself.

Vintage Jewelry Set - Unknown Designer

I chose this jewelry set for my first post.  I found them at a local yard sale.  They have a makers mark that I am not familiar with.  I am certainly no expert, but the longer I do this the more I learn.
The mark on the back of the pieces is the same as the design over the stone. The necklace is actually a single strand chain that is 36 inches long.  It has a large black stone encased in gold with a faux tassel.  There are matching clip earrings.  I love this set, but wish I knew the designer.
