The retail stores around me already have shelves full of chocolate for Valentine's Day, but who really wants cheap boxes of heart shaped chocolate when you can have hearts like these? The great thing about a sterling puffy heart as a memento of love, is it won't wind up on your hips after Valentine's Day. So if saving calories was part of your New Year's resolutions, give him a hint that you want jewelry instead of candy.

This charm would be lovely on it's own as a pendant on a necklace chain.
From the description:
Good condition marked sterling 3D tea pot charm with blue swirled glass
bead. The bead looks like lampwork and has lovely swirls of gold colored
glitter in the bead. The charm measures approximately 3/4ths inches
tall including the bail.

This is one of my all time favorite charms and yes- this particular charm has sold, unfortunately.
From the listing description:
Good condition marked vintage Nuvo opening sterling haunted house charm
with little enamel ghost floating inside. This charm measures
approximately 13/16ths inches tall at the tallest point. This charm
weighs approximately 7.2grams. English Nuvo charms are highly
collectible- the haunted house charm with ghost being quite desirable to
collectors.
When I took this picture of a vintage Virgin Mary medal to list in my ETSY store I felt this picture was something special. My husband
happened to be working out of his home office at the same time, so I showed him my
product shots for my ETSY listings because I thought my pictures
came out pretty good. He looked over all of them and said they looked
great, but that he really loved this picture of the Virgin Mary.
My
husband happens to be a really good photographer and he shoots with a
digital slr and several lens that cost more then my little digital one
shot wonder... so I was pretty pleased that he liked my picture. But
then he proceeded to ask me for the medal and told me, he wanted to try
to shoot it himself out in our sun room. Of course I gave him the medal
and not at all grudgingly- but when I went back to work listing I
couldn't help but wonder how much better or more artistic his photograph
would turn out.
After about ten minutes, he returned with the medal.
"I couldn't get it," he said as he went back to work on his computer.
"Your picture looks almost ghostly."
I returned to my listings smiling- I don't know what I was afraid of. My original picture was just perfect the way it was shot.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and not a threat.
