Brooches


This is a cute dragonfly brooch I recently picked up. I am not sure if this is Sterling Silver and it is really nice quality . 
I am using it to pair with some of my floral artwork.





My mother had this in her jewelry box when I was growing up.  It is a badge in brownies group. 

She never spoke of where it came from.


 




This was from my Aunt's estate and this is what I found on line










This was a part of Mrs Appleton's estate. She was our neighbor growing up in LaSalle



I purchased this in the Laurentians at an Roadside Antique Barn run by a wonderful guy named Jacques. 
Its an Antique brooch with a man portrait.
A nostalgic vintage costume jewelry piece.
Age unknown

Size approx.: 2.6 cm
I am unsure what type of metal it is.
There is some crazing on the glass.
There is also signs of green oxidation which looks copper.

The Randon things I collect on Tresorcache101

My blog name is called Tresorcache101. I liked the name Tresor cache from the first time I heard it. It sounded like a diamond in the rough. I like to find little treasures even at the curb. I picked that name when I started this blog way back when. Since Tresor cache was already taken in Google, I added the 101 at the end.  It is the place where I document stories about the items given to me by my Family and Friends either to keep or resale. Some of the items I are found at the curb or  at 2nd Hand Stores, Flea Markets.  Most of the photographs are mine with the exception of the occasional picture ideas for reference of what could be done with the item to upcycle.  Google " bpagani@poshmark.ca" and click on images you will be directed to my Poshmark closet where I sell. I post items on Instagram under randomthingsicollect. Please ask any question you have regarding any of my items.  Use my referral code "bpagani" to receive a $15 discount off your first purchas...
