Thrifty Thanksgiving

Today I went thrifting in my usual places. WHAT an awesome day to be out. I scored so hard! All of the pictures you see below are treasures from my day. Not pictured are a black pleated nylon skirt, a professional curling iron (been hunting for one of those forever!), and a few other items, which added up to the total below.

TOTAL SPENT: $26.00

This necklace was interesting. I really like the white chain. Clearly a stone fell out of the middle but I think I like it this way better! I have quite a few little trinkets that could fit inside....hmmm.....It was 99 cents.

This butterfly piece is actually a scarf clip! I actually think I may wear it in my hair. The gold bracelets were kind of tarnished and neat looking. Total cost on all three were $3.00.

Another neat piece, little cheapie...99 cents.

This little ceramic pitcher was so cute. I have a beautiful red dish set for Thanksgiving but no gravy boat! I think it will work well. 99 cents.

Christmas music from 1932. The book is in perfect shape and it looks so adorable on my piano with Christmas knick-knacks. $1.99

These neat little ceramic beads were in a bucket for 79 cents each. (The other two posted below were the same). All of them are about 2-3 inches long and a couple inches wide. I have jewelry plans for them!



I KNOW, I know! How awesome is this duck handbag? SERIOUSLY??? It matched the outfit I had on today. I can not wait to put something together with this. ONE DOLLAR.


Cute little pair of wedge-y red loafers. Excellent shape, like new. $3.

Leopard print ballet slippers. Brand new vintage from JC Penney's. All tags were still on! 99 cents.
These crazy sexy three inch red suede hills are BRAND new from Nine West. They were obviously never worn and had the original department store sticker on them; impeccable shape. $3.00.

Fabulous DIY necklace!

In my travels online, I recently stumbled upon a great fashion blog with a slew of fantastic DIY fashion projects, including a multi-strand DIY necklace. (The one you see pictured to your left is my version). Here is the original link--I absolutely love hers:


I'm not sure exactly why I haven't tried this before; Lord knows I like to layer. But actually fashioning them into one solid piece that is fastened I hadn't done, and I knew immediately that I had some great pieces to use together!

I already had a multi-strand piece from Tarjay (Target) that I bought on clearance for $2.50 last year! I affixed ALL secondhand pieces to it and also a pink toned charm bracelet that I received as a Christmas present ten years ago and haven't worn much since. I actually sewed and fastened my bits together with thread and the jewelry clasps and parts themselves.

The result was LOVE all the way; I can't believe how much I love this piece and I can't wait to wear it with an outfit!

My vintage dress form "Kay" offered to model it. :D
