Welcome to A BLOOMING DESERT in the heart of the Great Basin. As an avowed collector of most everything,my “Basin” runneth over, and I am offering some wonderful antique, vintage and new items for your consideration.

I love BLING and will eventually list over a 1000 items and/or jewelry lots. You’ll find demi parures, parures, the unusual, rare, weird, gorgeous and eccentric both signed and unsigned. Since I am not a jewelry specialist, just a lover of jewelry, you will no doubt come across some killer bargains. Before I retired from teaching middle school social studies, I wore thematic jewelry. It was a great hook for teaching, and students were captivated by my BLING. Enjoy!

Check out my plethora of listings, which will includea bit of everything, most yet to come, and visit often. Better yet, bookmark my site, as a favorite, so you will get in on all my listings. This is a huge undertaking and will take a lot of time to get everything listed. I am a collector of stuff, and I have too much stuff!
