San Francisco Music Box Company - Heart shaped rose music box: $2.99 @ Salvation Army
Glass dish w/golden bird handle: free @ Salvation Army
Cherub water fountain: $7.99 @ Value Village
The water fountain was the first thing I picked up today.
It was pretty overpriced, but I'm such a sucker for angels! I prefer the more mature ones, but did I also mention how much I love fountains?
The angels aren't carved that well, but overall, I just found the thing so wonderful.
Parts of it were still bubble wrapped and the silica gel was included...so that made me think it had never been used. I probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise.
It ended up working so I'm really happy I bought it. It's so gorgeous when it's on, but the motor is really loud.
Still pretty darn expensive though, I could get a similar one new for roughly the same price!
Shucks. Turns out it's from Avon, and someone paid a whopping $1.29 for it on eBay! It was made in 2002 and retailed for around $35.
Another fun fact - you can activate it by clapping! I suppose it was worth the price afterall.
I ended up going to the Salvation Army afterward since I had a coupon.
I really liked the box since I love hearts, roses, and white/gold combos...plus, it was musical!
It took me a while to decide, I wasn't sure if I actually loved it enough to take home.
After that, I decided I might as well use my coupon since I had it...but I couldn't find anything I really wanted!
Luckily after a while I found this glass dish.
It closes in a really neat way, sort of like a cracked open egg...and it's made in Italy! Their asking price of $.99 would have totally been worth it.
Their prices are pretty cheap when they have that coupon.
They did the last time I bought a musical box there too, I wish I knew about it then!
