Love the first necklace!  I've been trying to win one for ages, they always go for much higher than I like.  

I really would have preferred a single colour, but this one's alright,  It combines the two colours that I want the most...I'm hoping to win an entirely clear one soon.

Can't believe the feather necklace was so reasonable!  That was the BIN price...I think I paid more than that for the same necklace on auction!

The black bracelet is the same as the white one I got recently.  I like the white one a lot better.

Wowee, I didn`t expect a day like this anytime soon!  I hope my mailman doesn`t hate me.

My favourite of this lot is the heart cuff..I love it!  It`s stretchy, but just enough so that it stays on firmly (without squeezing me to death).  Everything is the right proportion, it`s just so great!  I have another one in white coming to me shortly.

Unbelievably, BOTH of the spiked collar necklace arrive broken!  I ended up with two accidentally, and ironically, now I`ll have none!  


I hope the seller doesn`t think I`m a scammer.

I think the love affair with this miniature seller has ended.  They didn't send me one of my orders and now they're ignoring me...it's already past the limit so I can't get my money back either. 

I'm pretty cheesed.  There's still one more set other that I'm waiting for other than that.

A better picture of the miniatures:


I love the feather bracelet more than I thought I would.  Now I'm trying to win one in gold!

Dark green feather / white lace covered gem belt:  $2.50 (RSP:  $9.99)

Lot of Polly Pocket pieces (~240):  $2.99
My Scene doll:  $1.99

All @ Value Village.

I really wasn't expecting much from the 75% off sale (especially since I didn't go early), but to my surprise, almost everything from before Halloween was still there!

I didn't buy any costumes because they're always such crappy quality.  I'd feel dumpy wearing them.  The above I'd actually wear in real life...they're gorgeous!  Especially that belt. 

They all look like normal quality, which is probably why they were priced so high.  I actually found a picture of it on their website:


I also thought about buying this paper/wood geisha umbrella - it was only $2.50!


I thought it was actually really nice quality for a costume piece, but the illustration could have been better.  In the end, I didn't think I would use it.  Ditto with those pearl gloves in blue (they were so gorgeous).  Go me!  Getting marginally better with money.
 
I don't collect Polly Pockets, but the bag had at least ten pair of shoes that fit minis (no other company makes them, that I know of).  I saw that those accessory sets retail for around $30, so I feel like I got a steal!  The one I saw only had 4 shoes too.

Those things are so tiny, kudos to the kid who managed to keep them all together!

As for the My Scene doll...I just wanted the boots.  They're pearlescent and so pretty!

I grappled with paying $2 when that was the only thing I wanted, but in the end, I decided to get them.  Turns out someone else was willing to pay $6 for the boots alone, so I feel way better about it!

Greek bronze cuff bracelet:  $2.25 (BIN:  $5.99)
Gold collar w/gold and red feathers:  $2.04 (BIN:  $9.99)
Blue/gold collar w/red oval stone:  $2.25 (BIN:  $6.99)

All off eBay.

Pretty happy with all of these!  They're gorgeous.  I'm appreciating my eBay buys wayyyy more after seeing all of that overpriced H&M jewelry today. 

The quality's the same (or better!), and some of the designs on eBay are far more intricate.

New York Fur Co Ltd - Cropped rabbit fur coat:  $12.50 (Tag says they're patronized by royalty!)
Jeanne Lottie - ostrich feather clutch:  $2 (RSP:  $50+)

Both @ Value Village.

I was unsure about both of them, especially since the coat was a bit dirty in some places. 

I decided to get it because it looked surprisingly modern...it looks like fake fur so I won't have to worry about zealots throwing paint on me!

The second one looks great from the front, but I don't like how it's just a flat fabric pouch.  I wish the other side was covered too, it just looks so cheap!  At least it was priced accordingly.
