Mrs. Beadsley’s Jewel Box: Collecting Clips

By DEBRA LOWENSTEIN, Owner
Mrs. Beadsley Vintage Jewelry

This month let’s talk about clips. There are many kinds of clips in vintage jewelry. Do you know the difference between a dress clip, a fur clip, sweater clips, glove clips, and shoe clips?

Each had a function and none of them is made anymore. These pieces of jewelry are fun to collect and will become rarer as the years go by.

Dress clips and fur clips are similar to brooches. They were worn on the same types of apparel as brooches are now. There were some differences though.

Dress clips came singly, as pairs and rarely in trios. Unlike brooches, Read More

Raising Finches 2

The Kragdahl’s instructions for raising wild baby birds were comprehensive. Our little Cassin’s finch were doing well the first week, so we knew we were in this for the long run. We had to prepare them to return to the wild. It would take weeks.

We were instructed to teach the birds to drink: dunk their beak in shallow water and tip the head back. (This also works with domestic birds.) They would have tail feathers at 2-3 weeks, start flying in about 3-4 weeks, and eat insects, seeds and crumbs at 4-6 weeks.

Okay. When the time Read More

Pastor Granillo: Fashionable Christians

By Pastor Raul Granillo
Los Alamos

When I was 14 years old, I was certain that if I had a pair of Bugle Boy jeans I would get that call from a mysterious lady asking, “Excuse me; are those Bugle Boy jeans you’re wearing?”

O.K., maybe that’s a stretch, but I had no doubt that if I could get my hands on a pair my status in Jr. High would drastically change. It certainly couldn’t hurt. I needed something to prove that I wasn’t just another dork in the halls. Fashion had the potential to make or break a person in Jr. High. It still has a great power in every aspect of our lives.

There is something about fashion that we Read More
