I tried this ethnic-esque pendany necklace on at Canadian Thrift last week, and left it there as I didn't think it was my style.
But then I couldn't stop thinking about it. Jeepers, it was only 6 bucks and I left it there!
I went back a couple days later and dug around, but couldn't find it. Two days later, I went back again, not expecting it to be there. But it was! Someone had put it on hold and never returned, so back to the case it went!
I'd like to think this episode was a prime example of what I call my Thrifting Karma, but perhaps it demonstrates only that I'm tenacious to the max when it comes to bling! And I'm pretty sure the piece is vintage - just look at how well the chain is constructed. I really love it, and I hope it forgives me for abandoning it on first sight!
Oh you were lucky it was still there.Too many times I have gone back and what I should have got was gone but then there are times like you I have been lucky.Its a greak necklace am so glad it was waiting for you xxx
ReplyDeleteI never leave anything I like behind these days because I know it will be gone by the time I go back. That's why I have too much stuff now ha ha.
ReplyDeleteE :)
Hi my dear-what a gorgeous find, it was waiting for you!! xx
ReplyDeleteLove that feeling when you go back and it's actually there waiting!
ReplyDeleteIt's fate, that is! You were meant to have it and I'm glad you did, it looks Indian and therefore fabulous. x

What a great piece. I don't enjoy thrift regrets -- you got lucky, Girl!
ReplyDeleteNelly, normally I have no restraint! But even though I liked this when I saw it, I LOVED it only in retrospect - ever happen that way for you?
ReplyDeleteVintage Sweetheart, like I just said, I normally have zip restraint - hence I have a whack of stuff too!!
Thanks MyStyle, I would like to think so!
SixBalloons, that rarely happens to me as I'm too busy nabbing the stuff when I see it, but I'm glad you have had a similar Karmic thrifting experience by the sounds o it!
Cathy P - tee hee - but I bet you would have bought this and asked for a ten percent discount if you saw it!
Thanks Vix, this is up your alley too isn't it? I think it looks Indian too ....
Kris, I agree, it all came down to that person who picked it up and put it on hold not coming back!
