Day 2 of our Pennsylvania adventures recap: Found some great items at a flea market, met up with a fella who cleaned out an old funeral home, found an incredible Victorian men's swivel ring. Exhausted, but all in all a great day! #skystorian #antiquing #antiques #antiqueshoplife

Lover's Eyes are Georgian miniature paintings of a loved one's eye, often worn as brooches, pendants or rings with jeweled frames. I'm still playing with a weathered engraving style and enjoying the process! (The eye model is my lovely wife, Olivia, half of @theveiledmirror.bsky.social) #PenAndInk

Rusty metal is also an arch nemesis. #savealltheantiques

This beautiful figural hand hook is perfect for anyone wanting to build their own chatelaine from scratch!

With a large hook on the back, it can slide easily onto a belt, waistband or even the neckline of a blouse or dress -- if you want to get creative!

Available for purchase on our Web site!

We actually picked up a few Victorian post cards and a stereoscope card yesterday that has a similar effect.
