Today my sister and I went antiquing. We’re lucky to live in a town with an old-fashioned Main street, that contains the right kind of antique stores: junky and cheap. You can find all sorts of cool things, like broken cameras, old spurs, discarded earrings, and salt and pepper shakers of all kinds. It’s really the best.

It’s become a tradition for my sister and I to go whenever we’re both stuck at home and bored for whatever reason. Today I caved and bought a necklace I have looked at three times* now:

Isn’t it gorgeous? For $6, I think it was highly worth it. It certainly packs a statement, and is a great add to the rest of my jewelry collection.

What have been your great finds lately?

*Which, for anyone who has ever gone shopping or antiquing should know: is nearly impossible and basically means that I was DESTINED to own this necklace.
