Mid-Centory Modern Norwegian necklace FTW!

I found this at an estate sale yesterday and I am just in love with it.  I always like to look into any marked jewelry I find, so here's some additional info on the artist who designed it, Unn Tangerud.  Please note the picture at the bottom right of this page, look familiar?

Here is a link to ebay listings for the same jewelry house and at least 3 of them were made by the same designer as this piece.  I won't tell you how much I paid for it, but I can tell you it was nowhere near what these folks are asking. 

I love this style, it looks ancient and modern all at the same time, gorgeous!

It's good to be accepted!

Or at least it's good for my ego, anyway.  I got word today that I have been accepted into the East Nashville Arts Fest that will be going on May 22nd & 23rd in the 5 Points area of East Nashville.  I will be sharing a booth with the incomparable Julie Morris of Fringe Lore to keep costs down and have a "Hey I've got to find a bathroom" booth-watchin' buddy.  I'll post more details including a list of the other artists when I get it.  I can not wait!
