A relic from Peru (1) is both timeless and new.
This Belgian nouveau medal (2) is cause for celebration…

The Yellowood trail is remembered with a buck (5).
First Prize is a stellar affair with this Peuruvian treasure (6) for merit rather than luck.
A reminder of the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition (7/8) causes one to reflect on the beginnings of Treasure Island.
Found in Monterey, this jackknife (9) must have been one memorable dive…

By now you can tell I’m a hunter… this extended Winter morning I am relishing in the shiny glow of my exquisite new finds…
This necklace is home to the most beautiful medal I have ever come across. This French accolade was awarded to mothers of large families in 1920.
What a beautiful thing to nationally recognize the honor of motherhood link.
The front of the piece hosts a young woman holding a nest with birds encircling her, a banner near the top features a multitude of children playing.
The reverse has thorny branches reaching in a circular pattern to cradle the nest of two love birds.
My photos do no justice to this well earned treasure.
