White alabaster jewelry box: $3.95
Birks - Pair of zinc and glass swan salt cellars: $2.95
Both @ Community Thrift store
I've only been here once or twice. I never bother even when I am in the area, since it's so small, and the prices are kind of high for the most part.
I decided to go here today on a whim...I'm glad I did!
At first, I just saw the swans. I thought they were so neat! The wings are moveable, they're so pretty!
It took me a long time to decide since I didn't think they had much use. There is space to hold something, but it's so small it's impractical.
Plus, I just bought so many bird related avon things! Well, the mechanical aspect won me over and I ended up buying them.
It was a good call - I just saw a pair go for $75 on eBay...that's for used ones! I've seen a crystal and sterling silver version that goes for around $300...too bad that's not the one I found!
When I was leaving, I saw the jewelry box in a case. I did a double take when I saw the price! It was so reasonable, I'm sure it would have been $20 anywhere else!
Plus, this one was an actual jewelry box...it had a mirror and compartments inside. Most alabaster boxes are just that - boxes. This was definitely worth the $4, it's so heavy and beautiful quality.
Too bad there's no market for these. I don't see why, they're so beautiful and classy! I bet this was over $100 new.
