I hate to brag, but the fact is... my sis and I are the Queens of Cheap Jewelry. Today we went to our super-secret-if-we-tell-you-where-it-is-we-have-to-kill-you, favorite, fantabulous, rockin', hole in the wall shop where they have department store close-out jewels for C*H*E*A*P!
We each found some treasures. As you can see I got a very nice sparrow necklace in a most wonderous gold-tone, a multi-strand silvery-black knotted chain necklace and a very fabulous matte silver-tone necklace with some sort of stone briolettes. The heart earrings were 95% off their original insanely low price, so they cost all of 11 cents! I love the black earrings. I have a thing for all-black earrings. The bracelet is by Kenneth Cole and is small enough for my wrist (yea!). And the most wonderous find... the tree necklace with the sweetest little bird dangling from it!! Now, here is the best part... my sack-o-bling cost me... $6.02 (including our stupidly high 8.25% sales tax!)!!! My sister went a little nuts and spent $8.50 or so. She's extravagant like that. She tucked her sack down in her purse and I didn't get a photo of her goodies. What? Was I gonna' swipe her stuff? Hmmmm....
But really, are we Cheap Jewelry Queens or what??
Ah, the simple joys of life...
