      You're all so nice & thanx so much

      Karen thanks for making the distinction for me, I know they used to sell baby alligators in Florida yrs ago, never crocs who get huge & destructive. Still remember that nice guy Steve Irwin wrestling them, his show was so great & I really learned a lot about wildlife. Glad you liked the brooch

      Hi Judy & Scott, he is kinda blingy isn't he, reptiles aren't my favorite thing but was thinking about Florida this time, we visited a gator farm in my youth on a vacation. Besides the rhinestones I love the pearly enamel colors

      Ken that's very flattering, an unsigned KJL, I'll take it! Bought it from a vintage site online & can tell from the back it has some wear

      Thank you very much for the kind words Alan, very glad you enjoyed

      Malkey you really bring a ray of sunshine on a cloudy morning, thank you for the wonderful compliments & much love back to you XOXO

      Laura you guessed it, as an East Coast gal you recognize my Florida longings & reminiscences! Thanks for the luv too:)

      A lot of sparkly detail!
    14. Newfld Newfld, 6 years ago
      Thanks so much MrsT for your great compliment & the luv, my gator is a sparkly one & I for one like the blue-green enamel colors, sometimes I've read "blue and green, never seen" but have always loved this combination.

      Neat piece !!! I could not imagine living somewhere where there were real alligators near your back yard. Those ones scare me ......

      This Brooch does not!! It is beautiful !!
    23. Newfld Newfld, 6 years ago
      Great comments & compliments Rose - I agree, brooch pretty, real gator is NOT! My stepdaughter used to live near a canal in Florida & real gators would come onto their lawn, they moved to another FL house, now the husband has to watch for snakes whenever he mows the grass! Tropical places are best visited in a nice tall hotel, not idyllic to live there

      Cool Gator!
      Can you believe it? A Gator up in my neck of the woods? It would have never survived a bitter Minnesota winter....

      Wow Hoot that's so incredible! I just uploaded the story and saw the photo, the hunter guy looked so happy - says he's going to do a taxidermy combo of them (both are beautiful) - if he freezes the meat he will have some interesting Thanksgiving table complete with stories lol!!
    29. Newfld Newfld, 3 years ago
      Thanks Hoot & Malkey for the gator love, and Hoot for that excellent news piece
