Miniature Torah keychain:  $1.25 off eBay (Highest:  $3.55)
Chapman's metal pens:  free

I'm a sucker for miniature books that are actually legible.  I have a Bible that looks just like this, so I had to pick this one up!

Too bad there aren't any pictures.  That's the best part!

Brown finger vinyl beads - bag of 5 hot pink vinyl elephants:  $1.99 @ Value Village

Anri - Vintage mechanical wooden drinking man cork:  $.99 @ Salvation Army

Here he is in action:

I've never seen anything like this before!  I find marionettes intriguing, so I found this thing very neat.  It's not a full marionette of course, but it had one interesting motion - he drinks when you move the lever on his back!  His mouth opens up and everything!

Since it was cheap, I decided to buy it.  I thought it was probably vintage, and it was pretty well sculpted.  I admired the craftsmanship.  He even has little crow's feet!  

I read that artists (at least some of them, probably) carved these to be caricatures of themselves, which I found darling.

Turns out it's probably from the 1940's and made in Germany.  They sell on eBay for $20, so that's not too shabby!  There was other stuff in the bag, but I left it all behind.

The elephants were a big impulse buy.  When I went there today, they had 7 bags of these!  Most of them were these cute pink elephants, some of them were ugly dogs.

I really have no use for them, but I thought they were so adorable!  Plus, they're my colour!  Since they were new in package, and they were cheap enough, I ended up buying it.  I sure know how to justify my purchases!

18K gold plated snake bracelet:  $2.16 / $1.33 (Highest:  $2.55)
Gold pearl collar necklace:  $1.75 (Highest:  $5.16)
Gold border snakeskin collar necklace:  $2.26 (Highest:  $5.04)
Orange snakeskin collar necklace:  $1.97 (BIN:  $11.99)

Gold plated rhinestone turtle bracelet:  $1.51 (Highest:  $9.38)
Red white and black gemstone belt:  $1.04 (Highest:  $1.56)
High heel shoe cushions:  $.90 (Highest:  $1.75)

All off eBay.

I love the snakeskin and pearl collars!  They're much better than expected, and so flattering on.

I'm not too fond of the orange collar.  It's huge, and the collar is unflattering!  I think I might paint it.

The belt is kind of tacky too.  The gems are just hot glued on, and one even fell off in the package...I haven't tried it on yet, but maybe it looks ok.  Can't complain for the price!

The turtle bracelet has one sharp edge that keeps on scratching my hand.  I'll have to sand it down.

Lot of 10 dolls shoes:  $.99 (Highest:  $4.24)



Lot of 5 doll shoes:  $.99

Both off eBay.

Both were better than expected!  I'm very happy with them.  Now I feel silly for those times I paid $2+ just to get one pair of shoes..

I'm especially happy with the first lot.  It has so many of those gorgeous netted shoes I love!  I wish I didn't buy this lot before, since I ended up getting all of the same ones in this one for the same price!

This was the seller's picture, so I ddn't expect to get so many of that type:

I would have liked to get some boots, but I'm pretty happy with what I got.  The colours were great, and 9/10 were clear shoes, which I love.

The second lot was even better quality!  Not that the first one was bad.  Actually, these are all still wayyy better than dollar store shoes and the like.  I was surprised about that.  I wouldn't blink an eye if I saw them used on a mainstream doll.

Anyway, I think most of the shoes in the second lot are actual barbie shoes.  One of them even has the B, plus they're all pretty fashionable.

I really like the blue one!  It has these neat coiled snake straps.  The whole top row is pretty great, but the last two aren't very exciting.  Oh well, still a worthwhile lot.

Black hat

Hype - heart shaped jewel earbuds (RSP:  $19.99)

$2 each @ Dollarama

I needed a Zoro hat for tonight, and this was the closest I could find.  If I can make the brim wider, it might be ok...if it looks horrible I'll leave it home.

The earbuds were an impulse buy.  I love hearts, and I thought theses were really cute.  They seemed like better quality than usual, and I could tell they weren't manufactured by Dollarama, so I thought they were probably worth it.

Monster High - Roller maze girls (complete set:  Lagoona, Operetta, Frankie, Ghoulia):  $8.97 each $.19 total @ Superstore (RSP:  $14.99-$19.99 each)

Finally, decently priced monster high dolls!  I found out about the sale yesterday night.  It started yesterday, so I was worried that everything was gone by now.  I ended up waking up early, even though I barely slept!

I had planned to make a few trips to try to get all of them, but to my surprise, I managed to find all of them at the first one I went to! 

I only ended up paying $.19 since I used my PC points.  Now I wish I didn't spend all of my other ones on junk food!

Outside the store, I found this abandoned pack of noodles on a ledge, so I took it home.  These normally cost $.25 or so, so I'm going to say the dolls were completely free :P.

Off white feather earrings (RSP:  $15)
Black feather/chain earrings (RSP:  $18)

Both free @ Le Chateau

I never thought Le Chateau would have a promotion like this!  I love a lot of their stuff, but find things overpriced, especially considering the quality.

When I heard that there was a $5 coupon out there (with no minimum!), I assumed that there'd be nothing low enough to use it on.  Imagine my surprise when I encountered a whole row of $2.99 jewelry!

Anyway, I got the black one, and my friend got me the other one since there was nothing she wanted.  I thought I might get hassled by the clerk, but it was surprisingly easy.  Yay!

I've always wanted some feather earrings, but I was waiting for a sale.  I'm glad I did!
