So I went out after work yesterday to try and locate some of those great striped tights I was seeing at all the Halloween stores this year. Unfortunately it was too little, too late: the Spirit store only held a sale the day after Halloween and Savers is so picked over it was sad. *sigh* So I guess if I want to rock the Emilie Autumn look (not to mention stay warm in my skirts and dresses this winter!) I'm going to have to find some other source for funky tights. That's what I get for being cheap and wanting to stick to sales!
On the bright side, I scored some major vintage at Savers!
 |
| Vintage score! |
 |
| Glass bottle, c. ? |
 |
| Flowers with Butterfly and Bee, teardrop pearl, c. 1950s |
 |
| Genuine pearl necklace |
 |
| Gold toned shell earrings with faux pearl, c. 1950s |
All told I scored three pairs of vintage earrings, two of which have maker's marks on the backs so I can research them, a real pearl necklace, a heart shaped glass perfume bottle and a real china bowl, again with the maker's mark, pattern name and patent number on the back! And everything was, of course, cheap. I just hope Savers never hires anyone who has a knowledge of antique jewelry.
