Paint By Number Finds

I feel so lucky!  Went for a quick trip to a local antique mall and found some nice Paint by Numbers. 
These look much better in person!  I was thrilled to find them, they were both in frames but not framed properly.  I removed them from the frames and found them dated 1955.  And they have the initials on them, one is W.F.M and the second one is MM.  I can just imagine a couple sitting by the radio on Saturday night and each painting a paint by number to match, how cute is that?

These are from the 70's.  From the Great American Series and American Spirit Series.  Some one took a lot of time on these, it's hard to tell they are paint by numbers! 

Blue Ridge Mill.  This is the largest one I've ever purchased at 24 x 18.

It was a good day!

Thrifting finds - Jewelry!

Wow, I had a very successful thrifting trip and came home with a ton of goodies! I'll start with the jewelry. This is a tin parrot pin from Japan! It's so nicely painted!
Next is this green plastic parrot from Italy. It has a rhinestone eye.
Goldtone cat with rhinestone eyes. It's marked Monet.

Goldtone owl with rhinestone eyes and jewel belly! Unknown maker.

Rhinestone and enameled turtle. Unknown maker.

Surprise! It's an enameled daisy bracelet with yellow plastic centers. Maker WEISS!!!
This is the cute! Pink with a little blue umbrella with rhinestones and pearls. Unknown maker.
Goldtone bunny in blue enameled basket, has a pearl dangling from the side and has rhinestone eyes. Unknown maker.
This just screams the 70's! Metal black and white flower pin.

I must have hit this store at the right time! Just after someone cleaned out their jewelry box! I found all of this in one place.
