    Thank you Peter

    can you imagine my delight when I managed to find these....so intact. One of those heartbeats faster moments!!! Hooks and loops and all of the pendants , matched glass....wow wow wow! The more I searched for the replacement pieces or changed glass, and as the realisation hit me that these are completely original I thought I may have been hallucinating, and was of course overjoyed!

    Dear Sarah: Oh, I know this feeling. The only problem is that one always has to be careful not to show the excitement too much as the price keeps on going up and up... I have a friend who, when negotiating, keeps on looking for mistakes on the piece, with which he brings the price down. I am not good in this at all but then again, a supplier will show me later even nicer items, which he would not have shown me otherwise. Good pieces such as these temporals are usually not simply on display but are kept by the vendors for, in his view, suitable buyers. Anyhow, congratulations once more, these temporally are really great! With kind regards. Peter
