Shopping is SO FUN sometimes!
February 1st, 2011. Published under goods. No Comments.
I had the chance to (literally) pop in and out of a favorite consignment store of mine today, Shoppe 3130. I had my eye on a few of their vintage items and even found a great Converse One Star sleeveless dress for the warm weather that I JUST KNOW is on the way.
At any rate, while at the check out counter, spending some of my birthday cash, a ring caught my eye. It was in the shape of a bird, but not just any bird! It was the same swallow outline design as a necklace I had seen and liked on a TV show and had failed to find online anywhere.
When I mentioned how excited I was, the shoppe girls mentioned that there was a bird necklace, too. I went over to look, expecting to find a cool one, but not the one I’d searched for. It was a MATCHING necklace! I was able to buy both items for under $10! The necklace that was similar that I found online was $45.
I love shopping, I love Shoppe 3130, and I love the surprises consignment shopping brings. Thanks to whomever didn’t want these things. I will treasure them.
