The garage of goodness

Of course today i went garage saling. After all it was a sunny summer day why wouldn't i! A little back story for today's post starts here...
Last year i went to a subdivision sale near my house... and i stumbled on this woman whose garage was FULL of jewelry, floor to ceiling boxes shelves and containers of vintage jewelry. When i was checking out she was telling me why she had all of this great stuff. Turns out her mother and aunt had owned a jewelry shop back in the day. And she had inherited all of the remains. Now even though this sounds purely amazing which it was.. there was still alot of "trash to treasure digging" involved. Alot of crummy left overs, and broken jewelry. But just as last year there was many diamonds in the rough. The prices were to die for too! So here in the photos below are just some of the items that i found this time around. To be re-created into items that will be for sale in my shop in early June. ( i changed the photos to black and white, adding some dramatic mystery ((and also my kitchen has horrible lighting and counter tops))
Happy holiday weekend!
