A couple of weeks ago, I noticed brass jewelry prices were going out of sight. That's when I started researching. Not only did I find some great prices on Jewelry but also other things I myself have purchased over the years like- brass andirons, finials and knick knacks for my place. Here are some of my finds.

I mostly wear gold jewelry however have several pieces of brass.

When I first moved away from home-- I loved to add brass accent pieces to my home furnishings. PierOne one of my favorite destinations. Lamps, incense burners, plant & candle stick holders, etc.

I still have a lot of my brass-- and for some of the pieces- I use Brasso to remove tarnish. That said, not all brass needs Brasso. Some of it is coated to prevent oxidation.

These pieces [located in the kitchen dining area] could use a good cleaning with Brasso.

Keep in mind-- if you are cleaning brass jewelry that tarnishes-- make sure to wipe clean all of the polish and residue in that a necklace or bracelet might stain a favorite outfit.

For the last week, I have been battling problems with nerves in my mouth. Not exposed nerves- so cold drinks provided temporary relief. Happy to report-- since yesterday morning I have been feeling lots better. Hope to get back to some of the projects I have been planning or working on. Updated some of the lists on the NS&J Forums, researching and shopping and planning for the holidays.

Washington news ambiguous.
