Marytoddliz - that jeweled 'thing' is a purse holder. It fits on the end of the table and holds your purse off the floor, but close to your knee so it won't be picked up by someone who doesn't own it. I love mine - keeps my hand made quilted purses somewhat cleaner. Glad you enjoyed everything and hope your camera is up and working, cause I didn't take a picture before it left. I get so excited filling the boxes, I forget that step!!
