We hit a few garage sales today, and I found very few good things, but made out really good at one sale. She had a box of jewelry and had each item priced. I picked out what I wanted and took it to her and asked her what she wanted for all of it. If I had paid the price she had wanted per item, it would have been five or six bucks, a great price already, but she said, 3 bucks !! So, I paid the lady and took home my new goodies !! I had already gotten a fun necklace the day before for a buck, it is the one with the metal flowers with the beads in them, with some fabric flower lining, and the lovely blue enameled focal piece , so I am in four bucks for everything in these pictures, just the stuff on the table in front of the trays !!! The trays are another story entirely , lol !!
a lot of pretty goodies to take apart and use in other things. The big chunky rings are gorgeous and I will figure out what to do with those, they cannot be taken apart, but one is stainless and one is copper, they are so pretty !!
I was suprised how little jewelry was out there, but thrilled to get the things I did !!!
Thanks for stopping by, will share when I make some new items from these pretties !!!

Hiya Stephie! I had to laugh at your post “The Beads Win” because that’s where I am right now. It doesn’t help that I’m looking to move, but nonetheless, I have bulked up on beads again, with no sales prospects in sight.

I understand Gayle, completely !! I am officially not allowed to buy any more beads for a while !! By my own orders, not my husbands, we both agree no eating out,except very occasionally, and nor buying anything else for a while , at least a year !! We want to buy a new house and we have to put every dime toward debt and savings. I have more beads than I need, lol, and it is time to start creating with them !!
Thanks Krista, I cannot wait to share what I do , once I figure it out !!!

It is the end of June and obviously I did not stick to that no bead buying rule, I have spent more than I would ever admit this year on beads, charms and findings !!
I am however stickign to it now. I have stocked up way more than I should have, and there is not one thing I could possible need at this point, want, sure, but I have enough, time to stop for a long while and enjoy what I have !!!
