New brooch .. Flea market find

golden brooch , so simple in his form that it makes it just what it should be, a beautiful jewel

Nice one!

Not so easy to come by, are the jewelry from the expo. They were very expensive at the time and not everyones cup of tea. You had ear clips ands rings and different brooches, one more expensive than the other.


To finaly have one of the more expensive ones, feels great!! And a pink one! Rare !!!!

Some finds at the flea market

A rapping from pictures ... And a mag from 1998 who had a special on the expo 58







all colors

Most of the items from the world fair exist in different colors.
Sometimes you think you have an item and then you find it in an other color. Sometimes you can find a bigger or smaller one... It was realy the beginning of the new times of marketing.




on the net

found this on the net... sadly my budget for expo stuff is 0 for the moment
still if you want to buy me a late birthday gift... feel free it was on ebay.
