September 2026's Second Haul of Antiques and Untiques

More marvelous marvels for this very nice day, which is the first very nice day after several days of a scary-ish Nor'easter.

Wanna see?

First up, we have History's Coolest Music-Theme Brooch:

        Rather huge, measuring more than 3" wide and more than 3" high.  Signed AJC.

Now here's something VERY unique and special, to wit...

                                             brass and carnelian frog figurine

Me love frogs and turtles.

Two brief frog stories from my life:

I used to have two wicker herons on my porch.  There was a recessed thingie on their backs, where you could put a planter.

On day I was out on the porch, and I noticed in one of the planters was this tiny - like 1" or so tiny - frog.  

                                            not my tiny frog, but about the same size.

The planter was about three feet from the ground, so I had zero idea how this tiny frog managed to get in there.  

My other frog story is not much of a story, although I remember it fondly.

In Stokes State Park, up in Sussex County, NJ, there's a spot where there are two taps out of which comes spring water.

FREE spring water.

I have a case at an antiques co-op in Branchville (Ole Church Antiques.  Mine is the case that faces the door.  MUST SEE. Plus I have one in the basement of the shop.  MUST FIND.) 

Anyway, after I go there, and put stuff in my cases, and collect my sales $$$$$, I go to Stokes to get water.

One day I was filling up my bottles (my bottles are used 48 ounce glass kombucha bottles, not those ginormous plastic thingies.  Glass is waaaayyyyy healthier than plastic.),

While I was doing my thing, out from the rocks comes hopping a very attractive, very green frog.
