SOUTH OF THE BORDER, DOWN MEXICO WAY . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . ..

     Yes, I’m off for two weeks in Mexico tomorrow morning.  Can’t wait to see the history, love the food and culture, then sink my toes in the sand and bash the waves!  

      Won’t be taking my laptop (I read that’s not a good idea) and I don’t (yet – this summer!) have a tablet or pad.  Posts are prepared, though, so I’ll continue to send as long as internet cafe’s are available and schedule permits.  

       So, don’t be surprised by some gaps or blips and, if all else fails, I’ll see you first week in February.  I understand that it’s not the best place to find vintage fashion, but you know I love a challenge to my undercover skills. . . . . . . .. . . . .

THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION: FINDERS’ CLUE #22

      Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science, BUT it does involve many bits of skill, knowledge and experience coming together in order to be really good at it.  Each of these clues may seem simple and boring alone, but together they have made a big difference in my overall success.  Of course, there are many more details involved with each one, but the basic idea is where to start . . . . . . ..

CLUE #22 – IF THERE’S A LOBSTER CLAW CLASP ON A NECKLACE OR BRACELET, THE JEWELRY IS NOT TRUE VINTAGE, UNLESS A PREVIOUS OWNER REPLACED THE ORIGINAL CLASP.
