Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend...

Well... maybe not diamonds... maybe rhinestones... in a stunning vintage necklace...

A gorgeous choker from the 40's (my favorite era)...

My latest tag~sale find... nestled amongst fishing tackle, baseball bats and home~repair books (two men were having the sale)... my eyes were quickly drawn to something shimmery and shiny in the bottom of an old tackle box... I gingerly reached inside... and found my hidden treasure... all of the rhinestones are intact... and the best part... the price... one dollar!... can you even believe it!... I am always so in awe of you ladies "scores" and "finds" I couldn't wait till tomorrow to show this to you... as soon as I gave the guy my dollar, I jumped in my car and made a fast getaway!... I just hope one of their wives doesn't come after me for it!... xoxo... PS I think I have blogger figured out now... thanks for bearing with me!... May 10th... linking this post to Vintage Inspiration Fridays at Common Ground...
