Day 2 of our Pennsylvania adventures recap: Found some great items at a flea market, met up with a fella who cleaned out an old funeral home, found an incredible Victorian men's swivel ring. Exhausted, but all in all a great day! #skystorian #antiquing #antiques #antiqueshoplife

Lover's Eyes are Georgian miniature paintings of a loved one's eye, often worn as brooches, pendants or rings with jeweled frames. I'm still playing with a weathered engraving style and enjoying the process! (The eye model is my lovely wife, Olivia, half of @theveiledmirror.bsky.social) #PenAndInk
