The Gift of Thrift




Hermes Handbag



and...

My Thrifted Version 
 

I. Magnin


Made in Italy


Mint Condition

 Just goes to show that classic, good taste never goes out of style!


HERMES UPDATE

Remember this post where my mom scored 2 Hermes blouses at the thrift store?


I sold the Kachina print blouse for her on ebay last week for an astonishing $1050!
 

I'm so happy for her!


Perfect timing for a cash infusion!!!

Will you be doing any of your Christmas shopping at the thrift store?

Let the countdown begin!



Hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving Holiday.
We just bid our son good-bye but are looking forward to his return for Christmas break in just 3 short weeks!

 I say it's time to decorate, and my first stop is always Trader Joes's.


 Have you seen these boxwood wreaths yet?


You can afford to deck the halls at $9.99 each!

They also have a great selection of Amaryllis bulbs at the moment too, so get over to your local TJ's to see what waiting for you.

I am offering free shipping (with the exception of furniture) today, Cyber Monday, at both my etsy shop and Shop La Dolfina (formerly Il Tuo Tesoro) so check them out if you get a chance.

I don't know about you but I'm definitely feeling a bit of the Christmas spirit!

Happy Cyber Monday!
