the things i want and the things i got.

firstly, i have to say, i really love eriebasin.com. even if i can't afford anything they find, i at least know i have a slim chance of finding something like it out there [especially when i got to the antique market].


example; these 1880s carved whitby jet mourning earrings [gush] are worth about $595 CAD. but man do i love them. so their similar counterpart will be my next hunt.

secondly, i don't know if i mentioned this earlier, but after realizing that my jewelry had been stolen from my luggage, i found out on my first day back at work, that three pairs of my shoes were thrown out. one of which were worth $200. not nice. so, my manager promised me that i could find a new pair around the same price, and he'd have the company pay for them. sounds fair. and it just so happens i had my eye on these sweet little shoes.



when i first saw them they were on sale for $200! but i went back to see if they still had them the other day, and they had gone down to $118. you've no idea how happy i was when i found out. i kept thinking about them after i first laid eyes on them, i mean i really thought i might spend the $200 on them, even knowing i couldn't really afford it. so i guess, in the long run, it was meant to be. they remind me of edward scissorhands! not to mention, i wore them to work today, and they are super comfy!

i'm pretty darn happy right now [even if i am losing my voice for the second time. jeez louise].
