This interesting brooch with a bail to use as a pendant was made in Mexico features a Mexican pyramid with what looks like a flame and altar at the top. Gorgeous abalone chips are inlaid in the black enamel background all surrounded in a warm silver-colored metal called Alpaca. Alpaca is a non-silver alloy (zinc, nickel, iron). Sometimes it is silverplated, however I am not sure if this piece is or not. A lovely and versatile piece!

By The He Sea
I don't even know where to begin with this stunning late '60s/early '70s find from Aunt Lydia's Rug Yarn Collection. The title of this collection is "By the He Sea". Even more disturbing than the back-of-the-couch-afghan style "Ripple Poncho" is the borderline inappropriate "Slip Over" in white and spice. I shudder to think what he's sporting under that piece o' work.

Trying out the new business hub, soopsee.com for my etsy shop. It connects my shop, blog, stats and tweeting in one place.
Giving it a go and will let you know how it works out before jumping in with a domain registration, etc. Let me know what you think...
