Including a WOW! Charm Bracelet

Oh, what you and I could do with this baby!

What’s on the calendar for this Friday and Saturday, March 8 and 9? Whatever it is, scrap it! Nothing could be more important than having a shot at becoming owner of the above tribute to over-the-top 1940’s wrist candy. And what about your choice from the following selection of brooches? You can have them—any or all—plus much more at next week-end’s Lake Bluff History Museum’s Trinkets & Treasures sale.

Or these?

Here is what Museum spokesperson Adrienne Fawcett says about the two-day event, “Trinkets & Treasures includes tables full of interesting items that board members and volunteers have been collecting for at least 50 years, such as antique jewelry; vintage jewelry; mid-century brooches; collectible and vintage watches; signed costume jewelry from the 1940s; and 14-carat gold jewelry and sterling silver jewelry. Many of these items come from the estates of longtime Lake Bluff residents.”
