Rhinestone Necklace ~ Bling Bling

After selling my large rug through an internet auction I next sold something else quite small. It was a pretty rhinestone necklace.

I do have another few of these left from a small batch I bought at a different online auction. They were included in a small parcel of lost freight. Each diamond look necklace is in a silver plated setting that gives it a stylish sparkling glamorous look. These are brand new with a recommended retail price of $24.95, so my price of $10.00 is a bargain for something so pretty. They are 52cm long with an adjustable chain to shorten or lengthen as required, so are ideal for an internet auction item as the postage is not high.

Persian Style Runner Rug

In a way it sometimes seems surprising what sort and size of items can be bought and sold at an online auction.
Recently I sold this Persian style hallway rug. It was about 250cm long and 80cm wide. Mum had given it to me when she moved house but I reluctantly had to admit there was no practicable place to stretch it out in my own small home. Rather than have it gathering dust and moth holes in a shed, I finally decided to sell it via an internet auction to take Mum out to dinner on the proceeds. We ate well that night!
