The inspiration, encouragement and help one can get from online friends is amazing.<br />This CQ block, started to have something to do during summer vacation, will be full of mementoes and it is so enjoyable to add a trinket or ribbon and remember where and who I got it from. By blogging about it I hope to remember it for a long time!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-91422896471621187162012-09-28T09:15:53.256+09:002012-09-28T09:15:53.256+09:00How beautiful are your finds and a bargain as well...How beautiful are your finds and a bargain as well.

Probably the person who donated them did not see like them or find a use for them. Latha said one is a hair ornament. Had I had longer hair I would feel very tempted to arrange my hair into a pony tail adorned with this jewel. As it is my hair is short and these two items will be on the CQ block shortly. Watch this space!Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-55436639164612026052012-09-26T09:04:02.338+09:002012-09-26T09:04:02.338+09:00Hi, Annet!

Google map gave no info to the address. Now Latha has confirmed the Indian connection and explained what the ornaments are I am very happy.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-45148730006188613542012-09-26T08:58:22.168+09:002012-09-26T08:58:22.168+09:00THANK YOU, Latha.

But I think somebody did not like them anymore and gave them away.

For sure, they are NOT Swedish and I have no idea how they ended up at a flea market in the middle of nowhere in Scandianvia. So I am full of curiosity as you can understand.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5631637390313519247.post-72802994329344053712012-09-25T19:13:13.086+09:002012-09-25T19:13:13.086+09:00you have certainly find something I have never see...you have certainly find something I have never seen before, Queenie, do not have a clue what or who they were made for, maybe as you bought them in Sweden someone from there might be able to help.I am not sure about putting them on a CQ until you know what they are about in case they are medals or something.Will be interesting to see and hear what others thinkmargarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14225676137708827434noreply@blogger.com
