January vintage haul: Lucite edition

Happy New Year lovely people!

With the new year and spending nearly 70% less on rent than I did at my old place, I have a bit of extra cash to spend on myself. It's been a while. After bills (which all seem to happen on the first of the month) and food, I sometimes want those lovely little goodies that I see if I can afford a gentle splurge.

My goal this year is to ramp up my brooch collection. When I moved, I overhauled my jewelry, utilizing the case I have them in to the fullest.

On Christmas Eve, I spent the evening with a beer and organized. It was fun.


I'm really into carved lucite brooches and want to expand my collection. I did add a few this holiday, and thought you all would like to see some.
