Ring a ding

I love costume jewellery from the 1960s and 70s.

This cocktail ring was $6.99 less 50% at last week's Goodwill sale.

It's pretty big huh?

I love the gold detailed base - it makes me think of a magical seascape.


I recently joined the Toronto Vintage Costume Jewellery Club, and may be selling some of my items at their second annual sale in Toronto.

There's no website but mark your calendars: Saturday April 24 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Leaside Memorial Gardens on Millwood Rd. at Laird Dr.


Many of the members who are selling have been collecting for years and have some rare signed pieces. Others are like me and have fun costume-y items for under $50.

There will also be vintage and retro handbags and vanity items like mirrors, pillboxes and so on.

Outside vendors are welcome to sell, and admission for the public is free! If you want to rent a table to sell please email tvcjclub@hotmail.com for more information!

Think I'll keep this ring pour moi!
