Thrifty Finds

I apologize for the second 'haul'-type post in a row, i just thought i'd share with you all what bargains i've gotten recently!  I've mentioned before that i work at a thrift store that's about five or so minutes away from my house, and when it's a slow night or while i'm cleaning/organizing i like have a little look around.  Lately, we've had a lot of clothes and bits & bobs that have caught my eye, and of course i've ended up picking them up most times! Thankfully, all the prices are super reasonable and i do get a 50% discount on clothes, otherwise i would be breaking the bank!
I urge you ladies to check out your local thrift stores/secondhand shops if you're looking to spice up your wardrobe or room a bit, but don't want to spend too much money. :)

Cross pendant necklace - $1.99, turquoise stone necklace - $3.49, heart crystal necklace - $1.49 

 Brand spankin' new canvas shoes - originally $1.99 per pair, bagged both for $1.99 :)

 Tapestry bag with longer strap - $2.99

 '80s-esque geometric-y skirt - originally $2.99, bought for 50% off

Mirrored, spinny, metal, tray thing (which i have put most of my earrings & brooches on) - $3.99

Candy dish, not sure what i'm going to use this for yet but it's pretty :) - $1.49-1.99ish

    Also, I had no idea that you lived in the US until now.
