    I found these two cherry red necklaces about 5 months ago. The long one is really really long! When I wear it it can touch my belly button! :-) I found the smaller one again for 1 euro at a flea market.
    I found the long one in a thrift store where I usually don't find any good jewelry. In fact its the first bakelite necklace I found in a thrift store! I paid 2,5 euro for it. The day I found it was one of the worst days of my life so far (some health issues in my close family), so when I found it I had something like: WHY do I have to find this THING here? Is that some sort of bad joke from the universe to make things a bit better for me? Well, it DOESN'T HELP me, I dont want it! Just make all these issues go away instead!
    So I just bought it, threw it in my jewelrycabinet and forgot all about it.
    But even the blackest days pass and now I m really glad I found it! So, universe, NOT thank you for these horrible days, but I do appreciate the bakelite you send me! Just send me some more on the really good days...like now please? ;-)
    In the last two pics I included a brown bakelite necklace just to show the difference in color. If anyone can help me on the names of these colors? I forgot all about them!

      @val: well, I know you are right once again: someone bought if before me, now I have and enjoy it and hopefully someone will have it after me! Thats a powerfull thought! Mind you, I m really gratefull for all those treasures that come on my way, but you now, family and friends always come first, treasures are just things.
