Some Days Are Diamonds...

But not today.  In fact, I've had kind of a "meh" couple of thrifting weeks.  I don't know what it is.  It's not that I have found nothing, but I've not found anything particularly rapturous.  Let's have a look at some of the goodies, anyway.

Vintage aurora borealis costume jewelry necklace

This is a close-up of a spectacular Aurora Borealis rose gold-tone necklace I got at a yard sale, yesterday.  If this had a flavor, it would taste like "I'm fabulous."

Victorian goth choker necklace

this choker is missing stones and may or may not be true vintage, but I still really like it.

Vintage Art Deco Coty Compact

Do you love this litte 1950s Coty compact?  It still has some remnants of the make-up in it.

Vintage Three Wise Men Musical Windup

This plays - surprise - We Three Kings.  He's/they're chalkware and in their original box.  Obviously, they weren't when I took the picture, but they are now safely back in their original box.  They seem really unhappy and the music plays like a funeral dirge.  I guess that's true of most chalkware nativity participants.

Gold Vintage Shoes

Aren't these fabulous?  They are shimmery gold with little rhinestone bands.  They are made for a woman with enormous feet, or an average-sized man.  These are great drag shoes, I think.  This picture doesn't do them justice.

Those are some of the things I found this weekend (or refound in a box of old junk).  Did you find anything cool?

  1. I definitely adore that classic Coty compact. Are you planning on refilling it? I've never refilled a compact (vintage or modern), but think that I'd be really tempted to if I found a vintage one in good shape that I loved.

    Thanks for sharing about your fabulous $1.00 vintage patio set find with me! I would have been jumping for joy, too!!! It's awesome that you were able to have it altered to fit. Yay!!!
