Nothing could beat the find featured in yesterday's post, but I have to show you another 99 cent find I dug up this weekend in the most unexpected of places: a bead and craft shop selling mostly imports from the Philippines, largely jewellery making supplies.
But there's a section of vintage bibs and bobs in the store, mostly broken, that you're supposed to do something crafty with. Since I am not at all crafty, but rather a vintage bauble junkie, I sat on my butt on the floor for a good half hour rifling through the stuff, eventually unearthing this modernist style pendant - completely intact! For 99 cents to boot.
Totally my style. Maybe I'm on a 99-cent spending streak!!
That is such a cool necklace. I haven't had much luck thus far with jewelery in the thrift world, which is too bad because I LOVE jewelery. But you have found such awesome pieces, I'm inspired to keep my search up!
ReplyDeletep.s. 99 cents? please, 2 awesome necklaces for a buck each? you are clearly a thrift goddess ;)
Wow, will for sure be looking at the 'piles of stuff' I come across much differently in the future. Two excellent finds, G-Q! Lucky girl! Can't wait to see what's next!

Dani, I agree, the bling is hard to find, but after a few years of practise I seem to have this internal honing device or something; it's crazy!
ReplyDeleteVeronica: I never met a pile of jewellery junk I haven't wanted to rifle my little paws through! It is a sickness, almost!
Lindsey, thank you! It was great to find your blog and hear about your TV gig! The thrifting blog-o-world is niche but there are so many 'kindred spirits' out there, I find, and I am continually thrilled to keep discovering more like-minded peeps!
