I made some earrings 2: The Reckoning
Here's a bunch of earrings I made. Some were posted last time, some are new. Thinkin' real hard about putting a few of these suckers on Etsy (the nice ones, naturally).
The three pairs at the top are using recycled vintage silk, pearls from a damaged tank top bound for the garbage at work, and pink plastic beads from a thrifted vintage necklace.

Lots of broken and antique things here... and leather! Lots of leather.
Lots of vintage leather and suede up in here, drawn on with gold and copper Sharpies. The dangly gold pair have antique gold-plated bracelet links and chains from a broken vintage necklace.
(Pictured throughout, a thrifted embroidery circle with vintage bed sheet fabric.)
The mess!

Mint lace
Oh and here are some selfiez. Loving my (self-cut) hair lately, with these big floppy sideswept bangs. Also, this lace top (thrifted, worn backwards) always gets a snort from my sister, with whom I make fun of 'Pinterest colours' (mint green, shown here, or coral, peach, pink, rose gold, etc).
What would happen if I went blonde? How would I go about doing that? Help, Internet!

Day-Off Thrift Adventure
Today is just great. It's mid-November, sunny, with a high of - wait for it - SEVENTEEN degrees. You better believe I went out and enjoyed it!
I found these Vera Wang Lavender Label jeans at work the other day. I'm not used to wide legs anymore, but after about eight people told me how much they "slimmed me down" (as if you can tell in this hasty photo), I decided to give them a chance. (I guess those Rockstars aren't exactly made for my shape, but whatever.) They have a nice mid/high waist which gives them little bit of a retro feel, which works with my tastes better than a plain old trouser jean.
On to Value Village. Found lots of neat stuff, including this sweater, which I eventually passed on. Might have to go back for it, it is awesome. Peach, mint, cable-knit, vintage, made in Bermuda. Yep, that ticks off a lot of good boxes for me. But it was $9.99, which for PEI thrifting is blasphemous. We'll see!
Now for the goodies I did buy!
Woven Indonesian fruit basket ($1.99), teak Indonesian incense holder ($0.99), handmade wooden Prince Edward Island spoon-holder ($1.99). Wood!
And then we have this awesome vintage milk glass canister, complete with retro flowers and a sunburst lid. Delightful! And only $1.99!
Also picked up these great thick woven Navajo-inspired patterned cushion covers, for $1.49.
Lastly, these vintage gold sunburst/floral clip-ons with Aurora Borealis rhinestones for $3.99 - just lovely!
Hope this inspires some thrifting adventures of your own - happy hunting!

What I Wore - Cozy Aztec
It must be fall now. I am actually starting to wear a) knit sweaters, b) pashmina scarves, and b) tights with most or all of my skirts. There are still some fabulously warm and sunny days, but they're getting farther and fewer between. So here was one such outfit recently, which incorporated all these fall staples.
+Vintage men's grey, white, and black Aztec-print cardigan
+ Heathered grey Old Navy "vintage" tee
+ Thrifted lavender pashmina cashmere-blend scarf
+ Vintage Made-in-Canada black miniskirt
+ Vintage brown leather satchel
+ Vintage Aztec/Navajo (Navatec? Azajo?) earrings
+ Thin studded Old Navy belt
+ Black Old Navy tights
+ Vintage men's tan woven leather brogues, from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NYC
