Bag of doll furniture:  $2.10
Eelskin boston bag:  $4.90
Silver clutch:  $5.60
Snakeskin clutch:  $5.60

All @ Value Village

Such a great haul today!  This location is usually overpriced, so this was a nice surprise.  Especially since I had a 30% off coupon from another location that was closing down.

The bottom two purses look nearly brand new, so I was happy about that.  The top one shows signs of use, but it still looks really great.  I loved the colour and everything, plus the price was right.

I actually saw the exact same bag in black a week or so ago.  I liked the style and everything then, but that one looked used.  Plus, it was around $10, and I didn't want to pay that.  This colour is way better anyway, so I'm glad it worked out.

I also saw a tan eelskin bag that looked almost exactly like this one, except it didn't have that tab in the middle:


It looked brand new, but I just didn't like the style.  On closer inspection, I also saw a cut in the leather near the bottom, so I'm glad I didn't buy it.  It only would have been $5.60 though.

Gold snakeskin clutch:  $5.99
Bag of compacts:  $5.99
Bag of vintage wrapping paper:  $1.99

All @ Value Village

The wrapping paper was an impulse buy.  I thought the graphics were so cute on that top one!  I skimmed through it, and saw a few more I liked...the pink one, and the vintage wedding ones:


Sadly, half of them ended up smelling like stale smoke, so I might not keep them all.  I don't know how easy it is to get smoke out of paper!

The compacts were from another Value Village.  I really only wanted the Sailor Moon locket, but it came in a bag of Polly Pocket compacts.  The price was higher than I wanted to pay, but I thought it was worth it because those compacts are pretty neat.


I've always liked the idea of it, but never really got into it because I thought the figures inside were ugly.

Well, all but one of these are complete!  I was so surprised, there were some really tiny pieces in there...like a tutu and sprinkle sized decorations.  This kid really took care of her stuff!

It turns out that complete sets can go for $30+, so this was a great buy!  One of them is a knockoff I've never heard of, but even those sell for a decent price.  I don't think I'll sell them though...I do think they're quite neat.

The doll was cute and mod, but I couldn't find any markings on it.  Too bad, it's nice quality!  I would have liked to find out more about it.
