So pretty! In my mother's more aggressive antiquing days, she bought me a Victorian A pendant when I was about 10. I was in awe that she trusted me with something so old. I love it. Nowadays she only collects milk jugs, not necessarily antique.

My supervisor likes to buy second-hand books inscribed to or from well-known people; he's had quite a lot of luck in stumbling across them. When I had to read old newspapers for my job I was amused by all the advertisements, too. Apparently Beecham's can cure basically everything.
