Some of My Favorite Accessories






I thought I'd share with your some of my favorite accessories as of late.  As you can tell, I've been really into sweater guards, brooches, and hairpins lately.  Oh, and that bow pin and bow hair pin - got them at two different places.  Don't they look like part of a set?

I inherited most of these pieces of jewelry, such as the peach colored flower pin (from my mom), the silver locket (also from my mom), the silver purse necklace (from my grandma), and they art deco ring (from my great aunt).  The sweater guards I found at consignment shops...I'm smitten! Everything else I purchased retail before the whole year of second hand shopping thing began.



I love these apple earrings for work...cheesy, but what teacher doesn't have apple accessories?!






This is my brand new (thrifted) wallet that I found this weekend! I've been looking for something like it for ages, and I finally found it.  The leather is peeling a bit in the interior, but that just gives it character, and you can't see it much from the outside, so I'm not worried about it.  Other than that it's perfect!

  3. I adore vintage jewelry, you have some great pieces-- the airplane pin (?) is especially amazing!

    It's neat that you have inherited pieces too, the locket and purse necklace are wonderful and still very wearable today.

  9. now that i know you're a librarian you HAVE to see the movie, "Party Girl" with Parker Posey. It was made in the 1990s and I'm not going to ruin it for you with the plot, but trust me, you will enjoy it!
