One Buck Pick-Me-Up at the jewellery club last night


It's been a crap week - shows on my face eh? - so last night's Toronto Vintage Costume Jewellery Club meeting was a bit of a tonic. Nice to see the gals, talk about bling, and well, shop. We pass around this "buck bag" every meeting, into which members throw little bibs and bobs they've found, and we toss in a buck if we take something from the bag.

I really liked this 1970s style necklace. I love the matte pieces mixed in with the tarnished ones. I'm wearing it here with a thrifted black Ports sweater.
