I’ve never ordered food online before. That will be changing.
There’s actually quite a number of edibles sold on Etsy, but I’ve not seen any so tempting as what Yummy Affair offers.

(See below this Etsy Mini for excerpts from Yummy Affair’s descriptions.)

Lemon Heart Cookies
“Buttery shortbread crust and delicate filling, bursting with lemon scent and flavor, and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar.”

Oh, I can taste them! I want! These remind me of lemon bars I used to make. Might have to pick up that habit again, though these cookies sound (and look!) much better…

Biscotti Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
“Toasted to perfection almonds and rich European chocolate are just a few of the reasons why our Chocolate Almond Biscotti Cookies are so irresistibly good. Twice-baked to reach that unmistakable crunchiness, they are a perfect compliment to your favorite hot beverage or just by themselves.”

Yes! I don’t often have the chance to enjoy Biscotti (never tried to make it myself), and tend to pig on it when it’s set within reach… I’ll take a couple pounds of this, please :-)

Chocolate Hazelnut Heart Cookies
“An unforgettable treat consisting of rich dark chocolate and delicately roasted hazelnuts will leave your taste buds begging for more.”

Hazelnut anything is to die for! Oh my. I would have to hoard these cookies, not tell anyone.

Pecan Nuts, Honey, Lemon Cookies Baklava
“Thin layers of phyllo pastry, lots of pecans that add a toasty flavor, and honey based syrup with citrusy twist.”

Oh. My. God. I want. Now. The drool is out of control.

I’ve got to go find something to eat… And you, dear reader, click on over to Yummy Affair and get your order in!

Spins and Spirals Treasury on Etsy

My Coro Fur Clip made it into a treasury, curated by Yummy Affair! It’s an alternate, which means it will come up if something in the current display sells.

Thank you, Yummy Affair, for a great birthday present :-) I will be sharing your mouth-watering shop tomorrow. Folks, be prepared to drool!

I posted about this fur clip recently: 1950 Coro Fur Clip

Here’s the treasury, Spins and Spirals:

I’m 90% certain this beautiful brooch and matching earrings are Hollycraft.

Why oh why oh why did jewelry makers not sign every dang piece they made????? Of course, that would take the fun out of research, but criminy.


So here we have a rich-looking goldtone brooch and earrings set with milk glass rhinestones and accented with black enamel.

Flowers with black enameled lacy (sort of filigree) petals and milk glass rhinestone centers. The three leaves on the brooch have life-like detail and light texturing. It all comes together in a very appealing look.

Okay, so why do I say Hollycraft?

A few years ago, a friend had this same set except hers was signed. My research has shown that Hollycraft didn’t always sign their pieces. In fact, there’s probably quite a bit of Hollycraft floating around unsigned and unattributed.

So this demi will be listed in my JewelryObsessed shop, probably around the end of the week.


I’ll be listing this trembler brooch, with its bright, colorful, cheery rhinestone and enameled flowers and butterfly, at the same time:

It has an interesting combination of plain and textured backs on the components.

Why wait til the end of the week? There are some Valentine pieces to be photo’d and listed first. I may post some of them here tomorrow.

I’ve really gotta step up the pace, or I’ll still be purging three years from now…
