Tidbits on Cameos
2. March 24, 2022
Can't find someone to love among my cameos? Here are solutions:
Go in search of cameos on the internet.
Try eBay, Etsy and RubyLane.com
type in 'cameo' or 'shell cameo' or 'antique shell cameo'
and a world of cameos will open up for you.
Don't look at price (often too high), don't look at the description (often very wrong), just look at the cameo -- look at her face, her hair, her poisition on the shell, etc. Keep looking until you find somebody you love.
Take a screen shot of her and use her as your guide through the lessons. If you wish for comments from me and others, post her in my Facebook 'Gay Ann Rogers Stitchalong Room'

I learned from the best cameo dealer about shopping for cameos. He had the most beautiful cameos and he taught me, only ever buy a cameo I love. She must speak to me, as she will always be a friend and companion.
Whenever I have a difficult day ahead, I put on a cameo. She stays with me all day long and at the end of the day I thank her for traveling around with me and helping me through the day.
