I quite like this, Frankie!
Joost, I feel as though I`ve been patted on the head by a rather severe but respected teacher!
Seriously, I`m glad you quite like it.
well, more than a year later can I be the second person on ethnic jewels to say the same; I quite like it too Frankie!
Hey, another pat! Seriously, Howah, I`m glad you like it and it`s good to hear from you again. The silver and enamel Bulgarian bracelets are hard to find, though. It`s the brass ones that are quite common. Cheers.
Hi Frankie, hope you are well and enjoying the holiday. Nice pin, is it gilded or is that just the light?
Hi Patti! Good to be in touch at this festive time. No, this is not gilded - it`s just the effect of the light. The two top pieces are slightly yellow but I think they`re made from a brassy alloy. Have a great time!
There are some really fancy pieces of Bulgarian jewelry up for sale on ebay right now. You must miss Bulgaria, because you are showing off this jewel -- must be in England now? Better place to spend Christmas I think ( I mean British Christmases are iconic) Have a great holiday with your family!
Hi Patti!. I`m not really buying any ethnic jewellery at present - all available funds must go towards extensive house repairs. Actually, it was Howah that brought the photo up again, not me. Bulgaria is knee-deep in snow right now. Much healthier than the cold rain with fog that`s been hanging around in the North of England.
Actually I do have a pair of Kabyle fibulae that I should show soon. So I`ve not been totally abstemious! You enjoy your holiday with your family too. Will you be baking any of your super pies?
Please show the fibs, will enjoy seeing them. Are you repairing in England or Bulgaria or both? No pies for Christmas ( although I have been baking pies, one a week, all fall and winter) I will make ginger cake -- seems very festive and very yummy. Take care, maybe we could travel together someday - I would love to go to Tunisia after all the positive comments Ayis has made about it.
Patti, at the moment I`m repairing in the UK. Damage done by all the rain there`s been this year.Hey, as to travel, who knows? I would never say never.
Kabyle Fibulae coming up!
