So, I do consignment at a little shop here (selling off some leftover clothes from Miss Modish vintage!) and what I make there is just side income that I've decided I'm allowed to spend on whatever I want- hah! Last month I made about $80 bucks so lookie lookie what I spoiled myself with:
Ooh...it's a 1930's Talisman necklace from Jean Jean Vintage. I LOVE it. The word talisman got me, plus the shape, plus that sweet amber gem. Pretty!
This necklace helped inspire all my picks for today's cat's meow list, in one way or another:
This gorgeous Rachel Comey silk blouse, on sale! at Frances May
These stunning paintings by Mamma Andersson {via The Anthology blog}
These pretty vintage Zuni Sun Bonnet earrings, at Erstwhile Vintage
This fat little bud vase by DiTerra {via Mr Mudpuppy's etsy faves}
These pretty pretty watercolor butterfly wings by Amber Alexander
This dress from the Yigal Azrouël show as captured by Jamie of From Me To You. I just love the way it ripples as she moves...
This vintage brass kitty ring holder! from Austria Brass
This adorable handmade "tie top bather" by Minnow Bathers {via Alison's etsy faves}
This cute, colorful desert fox print by inaluxe
This gorgeous antique Turkish kilim rug, from the Rugstore, for the bedroom that currently only resides in my dreams {inspired by Kate's recent find}
This vintage brass wolf shot glass at bellalulu- pretty clever!
Another only in my dreams find, but man- isn't it gorgeous? A convertible backback/tote that could last you a lifetime. Handmade here in Portland by Vanport Outfitters, available at Le Train Bleu.
love these finds! your new necklace is GORGEOUS!
